SITE DESCRIPTION: (500 characters or 70 words):

Based on Sanborn Maps, Metals Disintegrating , Inc. operated at 271 Grove St in Verona, Essex County on Block 62, Lot 11. The site was located on the northwestern bank of the Peckman River near the comer of Grove Ave and Ozone Ave.

Site History

The 1907 Verona Sanborn map shows the site is occupied by American Bronze Powder Co. American Bronze Powder Co. was purchased by Metals Disintegrating, Inc. in 1939 (Williams, 1998 see attachment 4 and Myers, 2004 see attachment 5). The plant played a minor role in the Manhattan Project and pulverized magnesium for the military during World War II (Williams, 1998 see attachment 4). The plant pulverized bronze into powder for paint pigments etc.

NJDEP Site Remediation Involvement

An environmental cleanup was conducted under the NJDEP's Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA) during the late 1980's until a No Further Action letter was issued in 1994 (see attachment 7). Elevated concentrations of lead, copper and nickel were found at the site. Contaminated soils were excavated. However, based on the ISRA file, it appears that elevated concentrations of lead may remain at this site. The site received a "No Further Action" approval in 1994 (see attachment). It appears that no deed notice or engineering controls were required by the ISRA NFA.

Currently, one of the buildings at the site is occupied by the "Executive Kids" child care facility (see Attachment 4). The cap on the play yard (adjacent to the child care facility) consists of "geotextile fabic with several inches of pea gravel over the fabric and a mixed surface of artificial grass, rubber matting or concrete". This cap has been approved by the NJDEP, Enforcement and Assignment Element, Child Care Facility Unit (see Attachment).

As a precaution, the NJDEP, Bureau of Environmental Measurements and Site Assessment will conduct additional soil sampling in the area surrounding the current child care facility. Soil samples will be collected fi-om 19 locations and analyzed for TAL Metals.

Department of Energv Formerlv Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP)

The site produced nickel powder for use as diffiision barriers for the Manhattan Project. Gaseous diffiision separation plants at Oak Ridge Laboratories, which were established as part of the Manhattan Project used uranium hexafluoride gas as the process fluid and forced it through the nickel powder diffusion barrier. (Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope separation .

According to a US Department of Energy Memorandum dated December 7, 1987 the site did not handle radioactive material (see Attachment 6). However, other sites that produced nickel powder for nuclear weapons development recycled nickel tubes that were previously used as gaseous diffusion barriers. These sites were contaminated with radiation.

Nearby Land Use

The site is located in a mixed commercial and residential area. Residential Properties are located adjacent to the site.

Since it is assumed that lead smelting occurred on the property, the site was evaluated for HRS purposes for a discharge to soil. A Resident Individual, Resident Population, and Worker exists on the site. Therefore, there may be sufficient targets for the site to score greater than 28.5 on the HRS. Based on this information, fiarther action under CERCLA may be warranted.

Dear Ms. Rella:

As a child care center, Executive Kids of Verona is subject to the rules promulgated by the Department of Children and Families, specifically N.J.A.C. 10:122-5.2(i); Physical Plant Requirements for All Centers.

The Department of Health and Senior Services (Department) has reviewed the information submitted regarding the current conditions and historical uses of the building located at 271 Grove Avenue in Essex County. This information included a Preliminary Assessment Report and a Child Care Center Approval Letter issued by the Department of Environmental Protection.

Based on the above information and a walk-through of the facility, the Department will not require any additional actions at this time. However, if conditions within the child care center change or if there is a change in adjacent business operations within the building, further evaluation may be required.

If you have any questions, please contact Michael Boucher with the Indoor Environments Program at (609) 584-4003.

Re: NJDEP Child Care Facility Approval Letter Executive Kids Inc 271 Grove Ave, Verona, Essex County Block 62 Lot! 1 Preferred ED: 460614, Activity Reference Number: CCF080001 DCF Child Care License #: 07EXE0005

Dear Debra Rella:

MAY 1 3 2000

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has completed its review of a certified Preliminary Assessment (PA) Report dated December 5, 2008. The report was prepared by Brinkerhoff Environmental Services on behalf of Executive Kids Inc. The Department acknowledges that PA Report meets the requirements of the Technical Requirements for Site Remediation (NJ.A.C. 7:26E).

The Department issues this NJDEP Child Care Facility Approval Letter for the child care facility site specifically referenced in this letter so long as Executive Kids Inc did not withhold any information from the Department. This action is based on Executive Kids Inc's final certified PA Report. For the purpose of this letter, the child care facility site is the child care facility building as described in the PA Report, the outdoor play area(s) where children have the potential for direct contact with soil, the potable water supplj', and no other areas.

Child Care Facility Site

The child care facility site is as defined in the PA Report, as such any relocation and/or expansion of the existing licensed child care facility into other portions of the building or on other portions of the property, requires a new Child Care Facility Approval Letter. (See enclosed map.)

Child Care Facility Play Area

The fenced outdoor play area is located on-site adjacent to/near the child care building. The play area is underlain with geotextile fabric with several inched of pea gravel over the fabric and a mixed surface of artificial grass, rubber matting or concrete. The integrity of the barrier covering the native soil within the play area shall be maintained at all times so that direct contact with the soil is prohibited.

Child Care Facility Potable Water Notice

A statement has been signed certifying that the child care facility is connected to a public community water system- Verona Township Water Department PWSID 0720001.

New Jersey is an Equal Opportunity Employer, Primed on Recycled Paper and Recyclable

Building Interiors Not Addressed

Please be advised that this letter does not address the presence or remediation of hazardous substances that may exist in building interiors or equipment; including, but not limited to, radon, asbestos and lead. As a result, any risks to human health presented by any building interior or equipment remains. To meet the requirements as called for in the Department of Children and Families (DCF) licensing regulation, the Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), Indoor Environments Program, should be contacted to determine what steps, if any, are necessary to address the risks posed by the prior historical use. The DHSS, Indoor Environments Program can be reached at 609-631-6749. DHSS Guidance can be found on the DHSS web site at www.ni.gov/health/eoh/tsrp. A complete building interior evaluation should be performed before any change in use or re-occupancy is considered.

In issuing this NJDEP Child Care Facility Approval Letter, the Department has relied upon the certified representations and information provided to the Department in the certified PA Report. This letter does not make any representation as to the environmental conditions or risks outside of the child care facility site.

Thank you for your attention to these matters. If you have any questions, please contact Lee Hendricks at (609) 633-0745 or [email protected].

Sincerely,

1 Ronald T. Corcory, Assistant Director Enforcement & Assignment Element
