d'imperio property

RTE 322

The D'Imperio Property site is a 15-acre parcel of undeveloped real estate, of which 11/2 acres was used as an unauthorized dump in the mid-1970's. The disposal area consisted mainly of partially buried and ruptured metal drums. Many of the drums contained metals and various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including solvents. The ground water is contaminated and the contaminant plume has been detected in three aquifers. The site is located in a semi-rural area that is now becoming commercialized. Approximately 6,000 people within 3 miles of the site use ground water for drinking. Twenty private wells are located within 1 mile, with the closest well 300 feet upgradient of the site. The site is within the New Jersey Pineland Reserve. The Babcock Swamp wetlands, which are drained by Babcock Creek, are approximately 2000 feet to the southwest. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal and responsible party actions
