EPA's Superfund Program: Making a Visible Difference

The Scientific Chemical Processing (SCP) site is located in Carlstadt, New Jersey.
The site includes a six-acre property where a waste processing facility that
accepted various wastes for recovery and disposal was located. About 375,000
gallons of hazardous substances were stored on site in tanks, drums and tank
trailers. The facility shut down in 1980 in response to a court order. Some
company officials received fines and jail terms for illegally dumping hazardous
waste. From 1979 to 1980, drums and contaminated soil were removed. The
property is now vacant. A cleanup plan for on-property soil and shallow
groundwater has been implemented. Contact with contaminated soil has been
prevented and contaminated shallow groundwater has been contained. EPA issued
a final cleanup plan to address contaminated deep and off-property groundwater
in September 2012 and is overseeing its implementation.

The chemical substances (i.e., hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants)
isted below were identified as contaminants of concern (COC) for the site.
?OCs are the chemical substances found at the site that the EPA has determined
)ose an unacceptable risk to human health or the environment. These are the
substances that are addressed by cleanup actions at the site. Identifying COCs is
a process where the EPA identifies people and ecological resources that could be
exposed to contamination found at the site, determines the amount and type of
contaminants present, and identifies the possible negative human health or
ecological effects that could result from contact with the contaminants.

9/24/2016	Superfund Site Profile | Superfund Site Information | US EPA

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) is a division of the American Chemical
Society. CAS builds and maintains the largest and most current database of
chemical substance information in the world. These chemical substances are
labeled with CAS Registry Numbers® (CASRNs or CAS Numbers) and are used
internationally as unique numeric identifiers for a single substance. They have no
chemical significance and, because they are widely used, are a link to a wealth of
information about a specific chemical substance. They are provided here for
reference purposes to hopefully aide you in researching the respective chemical.
For more information, visit the CAS Web sit

About AT SDR

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is an agency of
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ATSDR is charged under the
Superfund law (CERCLA) to assess the presence and nature of health hazards at
specific Superfund sites, to help prevent or reduce further exposure and the
illnesses that result from such exposures, and to expand the knowledge base about
health effects from exposure to hazardous substances. ATSDR maintains a series
of fact sheets and profiles about contaminants of concern commonly found at
Superfund sites. Links to these resources are provided above when available. For
more information, visit the ATSDR Web site.

About EPA's IRIS

The Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), prepared and maintained by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), is an electronic database
containing information on human health effects that may result from exposure to
various chemicals in the environment. IRIS was initially developed for EPA staff
in response to a growing demand for consistent information on chemical
substances for use in risk assessments, decision-making and regulatory activities.
The information in IRIS is intended for those without extensive training in
toxicology, but with some knowledge of health sciences. For more information,
visit the EPA IRIS Web site.

About EPA's SRS

The Substance Registry System (SRS) is the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) central system for information about regulated and monitored substances.
The system provides a common basis for identification of chemicals, biological
organisms, and other substances listed in EPA regulations and data systems, as
well as substances of interest from other sources, such as publications. The
system does not provide health hazard information at this time. For more
information, visit the EPA SRS Web site.

DISCLAIMER: Be advised that the data contained in these profiles are intended
solely for informational purposes use by employees of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency for management of the Superfund program. They are not
intended for use in calculating Cost Recovery Statutes of Limitations and cannot
be relied upon to create any rights, substantive or procedural, enforceable by any
party in litigation with the United States. EPA reserves the right to change these
data at any time without public notice.
