SUPERFUND SITES ON THE RARITAN
(These sites are listed with links to the USEPA summaries)
EPA five year review of NPL sites with implemented remedies
The Superfund site resources are grouped according to the municipality and county . This makes it easy to find information on a specific site and locate information including: history of a site, threats and contaminants found on the site, description of previous cleanup efforts and current status of the site. There is also information about current or future remediation that may be needed.

Background Information:
NJDEP Glossary of Terms for Site Remediation
How "Responsible Party" Remediation Works in NJ
- Sites remediated in New Jersey are either done by the party responsible (any and all owners may be participants) or by the state (when the site is of high concern to public health and no responsible party can be identied). Publicly funded clean-ups follow a similar process.
