IND PARK/HENDERSON BLVD 11 ST
The Fair Lawn Well field site is comprised of three municipal wells that supply drinking water to the 32,000 residents of Fair Lawn, Bergen County, New Jersey. All three wells are part of the Westmoreland Well Field. In 1978, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected in these municipal supply wells located within and adjacent to the Fair Lawn Industrial Park. In an effort to identify the origin of the contamination, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) investigated all industrial and commercial facilities within a 3,000 foot radius of the contaminated wells. The investigation concluded that the primary source of the contamination was located in Fair Lawn Industrial Park. As a result of the investigation, three local companies, the Fisher Scientific Company, LLC, Sandvik, Inc. and Eastman Kodak Company, have been identified as contributing sources to the groundwater contamination. The site is bounded predominantly by industries of Fair Lawn with the Fair Lawn Industrial Park to the northeast and the Passaic River to the southwest. Several residences are within 300 feet of the site. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal, State and potentially responsible parties' actions.
