EPA Proposes Removal Of Vantage Landfill from Superfund

(New York, N.Y – April 29, 2015) After successfully completing all cleanup work and putting into place long-term controls to ensure that people’s health and the environment continues to be protected, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to remove the Crown Vantage Landfill Superfund site in Alexandria Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey from the federal Superfund list. The inactive 10-acre landfill was contaminated with semi-volatile organic compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other pollutants that can seriously impact people’s health if significant exposure occurs. A small portion of the landfill sits on the eastern bank of the Delaware River. All cleanup goals that EPA set for the site have been met and a review of conditions confirms people are not exposed to the pollutants in the landfill.
