- Title
- Chromate Waste Site Boundaries of New Jersey [New Jersey]
- Description
- The Hudson County Chromate Chemical Production Waste Sites are located throughout Bayonne, Jersey City, Kearny, Newark, Secaucus and Weehawkin in Hudson and Essex Counties. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has identified over 160 sites that are contaminated with chromite ore processing residue, also known as chromate waste. The chromate chemical production waste has been found at residential, commercial and industrial locations. The more than two million tons of waste disposed of over the area were generated by three chromite ore-processing plants which operated for approximately 70 years between 1905 and 1971. The three plants, located in Hudson County, were owned and operated by:PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG) at its former chromium chemical production facility location at Garfield Avenue in Jersey City. The predecessors and subsidiaries of AlliedSignal, Inc. (Allied) previously located on Route 440 in Jersey City The predecessor and subsidiaries of Occidental Chemical Corp., Maxus Energy Corp. and Chemical Land Holding, Inc. previously located on the Belleville Turnpike in KearnyPPG, Allied and Occidental are collectively referred to as the Responsible Entities (REs).The chromate waste from the above facilities was used as fill in preparation for building foundations, construction of tank berms, roadway construction, filling of wetlands, sewerline construction and other construction and development projects. Chromate contamination has been found in a variety of places including the walls and floors of buildings, interior and exterior building surfaces, surfaces of driveways and parking lots and in the surface and subsurface of unpaved areas.Included in this GIS layer are those sites within Hudson and Essex Counties in New Jersey where chromate contamination of soil and/or ground water associated with chrome chemical production waste has been identified. This list of chromate waste sites include sites where remediation is either currently under way, required but not yet initiated, has been completed or that were originally deemed a chrome site but further investigation determined that chromate contamination was not present. Additionally, more chromate waste sites may yet be identified and accordingly are not included here. For further information contact NJDEP's Site Remediation Waste Management Program (SRWMP) lead program or the Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP), based on the information provided in the Program attribute field. Contact information for SRWMPs lead program, where applicable, can be acquired at www.nj.gov/dep/srp/about/. Additional information regarding chrome site cleanups can be obtained through https://www.nj.gov/dep/srp/siteinfo/chrome/bkgrnd.htm.The Site Status attribute field will serve to identify the specific category associated with each chrome site. Specific attributes by which the layer is symbolized include the following:Active: Site is an active chrome cleanup case being remediated by one or more of the 3 REs Multi Contaminant: Site is an active chrome cleanup case that is being remediated by the responsible entity that owns the property on which the chromate waste contamination has been identified in conjunction with cleanup efforts for contamination associated with their operations or has agreed to address the chromium contamination present at their property.Post Remedial Monitoring: The chromate waste case has been closed with the issuance of a No Further Action (NFA) or Remedial Action Outcome (RAO) letter with soil and/or groundwater contamination addressed via an Institutional Control (Classification Exception Area for ground water and Deed Notice/Engineering Control for soil). Closed - Unrestricted Use: The chromate waste case has been closed with the issuance of a No Further Action (NFA) or Remedial Action Outcome (RAO) letter with no Institutional Controls required.Not a Chrome Site: Properties that were originally listed as chrome sites based on visual observation/past recollection but later found not to have chromate waste contamination present above standard following sampling.
