Pollution Report (POLREP) #40
Site Description
This Site, a defunct automotive brake pad manufacturer, was brought to the attention of EPA by the NJDEP for a possible referral for a CERCLA removal action.  An inspection by EPA OSCs and a DEP responder on 12/23/05 revealed the following hazardous materials/wastes were abandoned at the site: tons of asbestos material, tons of elemental sulphur, 1,000+ drums of mostly unknown materials or materials that do not match the label description, hundreds of smaller containers, acids, flammable liquids, iron and aluminum powders, flammable solids, waste oil, solvents, and other contaminants or pollutants.  The Site is semi-controlled, with most doors being locked but numerous open windows or sections of sheet-metal walls missing. A maintenance man is on-site for a few hours Mon-Fri.  

During June, 2006, the OSC observed that employees of the RP, Friction Division Products, were entering the Site and loading contaminated drums and debris in a roll-off from Building #7. In the process of removing the contaminated debris they spilled powdered chemicals from broken bags on a pallet. EPA brought this to the attention of the property owners.  With EPA management authorization and the owner's permission EPA initiated security guard service as of June 15, 2006 to prevent access by the RP and other unauthorized persons.  Security guard service was discontinued on June 26, 2006, when the RP agreed to not enter the Site unless EPA was present.
