GASTON JR., P.E. DIRK C. MOFMAN, P.E DIRECTOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR MAR 10 Wd:) M^'MORANDUM TO: Isabel Boho through Robert Plumb, Assistant Chief, Northern Region Enforcement, DWR FROM: Davi'^idd Muscalfluicalco through Steven Spayds,^ Supervisor , Bureau of Ground-Water Pollution Analysis, NJGS SUBJECT! Brass Castle/Broadvray Well Contamination, Warren County - Preliminary Site Evaluation and Recommendations Background The Warren County Department of Health recently reported Trichlorethylene (TCE) contamination in 79 domestic and commercial wells in the vicinity of Route 57, Washington/Franklin Townships. The Analyses indicate regional background levels of 1-10 parts per billion (ppb) with some small localized pockets of contamination as high as 440 ppb. Of the 79 wells sampled, 45 contain more than 10 ppb. In 1972, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) began an investigation of two municipal supply wells in the Borough of Washington. The two contaminated wells were municipal well No. 3 located at Vannatta Street Station and municipal well No. 4 located on Dale Avenue at Booster Station. Their location is shown in f-igm-o 1. The wells contained Tetrachloroethylene^(PCE) and TCE as major contaminants. Lesser amounts of chloroform were also detected in samples from both locations. Two major industries within the Borough, BASF Wyandotte and American Can Company, were investigated as well as various car service garages and other small industries. In addition, the High 100044 6-1 Point Sanitary Landfill was investigated as a potential source. Several wells were sampled as part of the investigation. Although contaminants were detected in some of the well analyses, only very low levels (less than 2 ppb) of TCE/PCE were present. At that time, it was concluded by NJDEP that the contaminant source could not be identified and may have been a spill or direct discharge that occurred in the past. The investigation was closed January 18, 1982. Spillfund Status Laboratory analyses of wells sampled from 1972 to 1983 indicate contamination of the aquifer occurred some time prior to 1972 and is presently continuing. Therefore, the areas encompassed by this investigation are to be considered Post Spill Act. Geological Survey Involvement to Date Subsequent to review of laboratory and background information supplied by Mr. Sonny Saroya (Bureau of Water Supply) and Ms. Isabel Boho (Enforcement), Mr. Steven Spayd and the writer conducted an automobile reconnaissance survey of the contaminated areas and environs. The following locations were identified as potential sources. Washington Township Brass Castle Road Jersey Strand and Cable Co. Kenbar Industries Treitler Owens, Inc. Belport Enterprises Castle Creek Mill End Shop Roger J. Collins (Junk Yard) Pleasant Valley Road & Norfolk Road Repair Shop Rt. 57 and Pleasant Valley Road House #20 (shop in garage) Franklin Township.

  • Musconetcong River National Wild and Scenic Rivers Study
    Musconetcong River National Wild and Scenic Rivers Study River Management Plan Prepared by: Musconetcong River Management Council Musconetcong Watershed Association Heritage Conservancy National Park Service June 2011 Update The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute their endorsement by the U.S. Government. Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic River Management Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This management plan proposes a strategy for managing the Musconetcong River and its many outstanding resource values. It was prepared as part of a study to evaluate the Musconetcong River for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The Musconetcong River drains a 157.6 square mile watershed area in northern New Jersey, and as a major tributary to the Delaware River, is part of the 12,755 square mile Delaware River watershed. The Musconetcong River is a boundary water for its entire length, first dividing Morris and Sussex counties, then Hunterdon and Warren counties. All or portions of 26 municipalities lie within the natural boundaries of the Musconetcong watershed. Fourteen municipalities fall within the river segments eligible for National Wild and Scenic Rivers designation. The impetus for the Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic Rivers study can be traced back to 1991, when petitions were circulated calling for the protection of the Musconetcong River under both the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System and New Jersey Wild and Scenic Rivers program. In 1992, Congress passed legislation authorizing the National Park Service to study the eligibility and potential suitability of the Lower Delaware River for addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

M USCONETCONG R IVER N A TIONAL W ILD AND S CENIC R IVERS S TUDY Executive Summary The Musconetcong River drains a 157.6 square mile watershed area in northern New Jersey, and as a major tributary to the Delaware River, is part of the 12,755 square mile Delaware River watershed. It flows 42.5 miles in a general southwest direction. The Musconetcong River, nestled in the heart of the New Jersey Highlands region, features a remarkably diverse array of natural and cultural resources. The limestone geologic features present in the Musconetcong River corridor are unique in the state, and the steep slopes and forested ridges in the upper segments of the river corridor contrast with the historic villages, pastures, and rolling agricultural lands at the middle and lower end of the river valley. For its entire length the Musconetcong River is a boundary water, first dividing Morris and Sussex counties, then Hunterdon and Warren Counties. All or portions of 25 municipalities lie within the natural boundaries of the Musconetcong River watershed.
