rockaway township wells

GREEN POND ROAD

The Rockaway Township Wells site is a 2-square-mile well field area containing a cluster of three municipal wells within 100 feet of each other. In 1979 and 1980, the wells were found to contain a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Groundwater contamination in the area appears to have resulted from several sources. Monitoring wells in the area indicated widespread contamination by chlorinated solvents and fuel components. In 1980, a treatment system for the wells was installed and included an air stripping system and an activated carbon system. Only one of the three wells is currently in operation. The Valley Fill aquifer is the only water supply source capable of meeting the Township's water demand. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through State and potentially responsible party actions.
