NPL Deletion and Reuse

Due to the fact that most of the contaminants are still buried on-site but covered by a two foot cap and site fencing, this site has not been permanently deleted from the NPL.  The last 5 year evaluation was complete on 2008.  

Human Health Exposure , potential, actual are considered to be Under Control.

Ex-landfill site to generate cash
BRICK — A 7.5-megawatt solar field would generate for the township at least $2.5 million in revenue annually for 15 years, which would be used to offset property taxes.
The Township Council unanimously approved Tuesday night a plan to build the solar electricity field on top of the Brick Township Landfill on Sally Ike Road. So far, the plan has the blessing of the federal Environmental Protection Agency, which is responsible for monitoring the cleanup of a wide plume of groundwater pollution caused by the defunct dump.
"Hopefully, the water will clean up rapidly once we get the cap on," said Jon Gorin, an EPA remedial project manager.
The field of solar panels would take up about 20 acres of the 40.7-acre landfill, said Tara Paxton, a township planner. The panels would not come within 150 feet of the property line.
Before the solar field can be built, the landfill must be capped. Township and EPA officials hope that the cap, which could be made with plastic and clay that cannot be permeated by water, and the solar field can be built in stages to reap the benefits of the solar power as soon as possible.
Contamination spreading underground from the landfill, which opened in the 1940s, now affects 400.7 acres mostly to the southeast, which is the direction the groundwater is flowing at about 1.8 feet per day, according to an EPA report released in July 2008.
Motor oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid, pesticides and herbicides all were dumped at the site during its history. Yet, the extent of the pollution is not high, Gorin said.
Wind turbines and cellular telephone towers would also be permitted on the landfill. Township officials said they considered those uses because they would also bring revenue into township coffers.
