This site is a defunct hazardous waste treatment facility which was the subject of a Fund-lead CERCLA removal action from July 2012 to May 2014. The RV1 and RV2 removal action encompassed disposal of hundreds of drums of hazardous substances, more than 240,000 gallons of waste oil, and excavating an estimated 50 tons of contaminated sludge from two settling ponds. At the conclusion of the RV2 removal action approximately 70,000 tons of stockpiled, contaminated soil was left at the site, as well as approximately 40,000 of waste oil sludge.
The site was referred back to the NJDEP to address the remaining wastes. A subsequent pre-remedial investigation of the site by EPA resulted in a Hazard Ranking score high enough to quality the site for listing on the NPL. On December 9, 2015 the NJDEP referred the site back to EPA to address the remaining soil contamination and waste oil sludge, which will be the focus of the RV2 removal action.
Historically, ownership of Mid-Atlantic Recycling Technologies and Casie Protank facilities changed March 30, 2007 when both facilities were purchased by Pure Earth, Inc. The MART and Casie Protank operations (previously separate although related businesses) were combined at the end of December 2009 and operated as a single business.
