SIX LOCATIONS NEAR MARSHALL MILL ROAD

The Franklin Burn Site consists of seven separate parcels of land, referred to as Subsites 1 through 7. All subsites are within an area approximately one square mile in size, located in Franklin Township, Gloucester County in the State of New Jersey. Fires were set at each site to burn away the plastic coatings from insulated wire and other electrical components for the recovery and sale of copper. The burning operations resulted in the generation of ash piles containing hazardous substances. Site burning activities are reported to have ceased in 1988 and have remained inactive since that time. Site Responsibility: This site is being addressed through Federal actions
