Environmental Contamination
Environmental contamination concerns at the RF site have included on-site soils and both on-site and off-site groundwater contamination (Table 2). Air contamination may have occurred during the dumping of materials at the site,
as evidenced by odor complaints at the time (Ghassemi, 1976), and during site investigation and removal activities; however, no off-site air contamination data have been generated during remedial investigations.
Surface water contamination has not been an issue at the RF site. The nearest surface water feature to the RF site is the Toms River located nearly two miles to the southeast.
Historic information on groundwater contamination related to the RF site is sparse. Much of the data that exist were generated using analytical methods that were non-specific indicators of organic chemical contamination,
and little documentation remains on the sampling procedures and quality of the analytical data. Nonetheless, these data are presented in detail below in order to provide as complete a historic perspective as possible on the
potential for RF-related contamination of groundwater in Dover Township.
