The United States Environmental Protection Agency added the PJP Landfill site in Marion Section of Jersey City, New Jersey[1] to the Superfund National Priorities List on September 1, 1983, because hazardous chemicals were found in the soil and groundwater.
The 87-acre site located in Hudson County contained a landfill that may have been used as early as 1968 to dispose of chemical and industrial wastes.
The Remedial Action Construction began when the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the EPA approved the Final Design Report.
[3] The remaining portion of the site is under the responsibility of Waste Management of New Jersey, Inc. and CWM Chemical Services, LLC (collectively “CCS”).
The work they are responsible for includes: a multi-layer, modified solid waste cap, wetlands reconstruction and enhancement efforts, and environmental monitoring.
