EPA Conducts Second Five-Year Review of the Evor Phillips Superfund Site
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is conducting its second Five-Year Review of the Evor Phillips Superfund Site located in Old Bridge Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. This review seeks to confirm that the cleanup conducted at the site continues to be protective of public health and the environment and is functioning as designed. Cleanup activities included, but were not limited to, the following: 1) Excavation of contaminated soil and disposal; 2) Placement of a soil cap; 3) In-situ chemical oxidation treatment; and 5) implementation of a monitoring program to ensure the effectiveness of the remedies.
A summary of these activities and evaluation of the long-term protectiveness of the remedy is included in the Five-Year Review report. The report is available now at the address at the bottom of the page.
What is an EPA Five-Year Review?
EPA inspects Superfund sites every five years to ensure that cleanups conducted remain fully protective of human health and the environment. These regular reviews, which are required by federal law when contaminants remain at a site, include:
- Review of monitoring data, operating data, and maintenance records, and
- Determination if any new regulatory requirements have been established since EPA’s original cleanup decision was finalized.
There are several ways to review information on this site. The Administrative Record, which includes EPA documents used for selecting the cleanup plan, is available for public review at:
