Superfund Program Implements the Recovery Act
Monitor Devices, Inc.
Wall, New JerseySite Description
Monitor Devices, Inc., operated in a building of a privately-owned regional airport in Wall, Monmouth County, NJ. Industrial and commercial areas surround the site. The company made and assembled printed circuit boards from 1977-1981. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as trichloroethylene were used as solvents and cleaners in a variety of facility operations. The company’s waste water discharge caused ground water contamination. Two public water supply wells are two miles up gradient of the site. An industrial well is down gradient of the site.
Cleanup Activities to Date
EPA listed the site on the National Priorities List in 1986. EPA has completed the design for the remedy to address the contaminated ground water, which includes enhanced in situ bioremediation of the VOC ground water plume and the placement of institutional controls until the ground water is cleaned up to drinking water standards.
Recovery Act Project Activity
EPA will use the up to $5 million in Recovery Act funds to start ground water cleanup activities.
