Brownfield Development Challenges at a Former Manufacturing Facility, Engineering ''Opportunities'' Make the Difference
The Former Hercules Neck Road facility occupies approximately 55 hectares located 2.4 kilometers northeast of Burlington City in Burlington County, New Jersey. Hercules conducted manufacturing operations from 1945 to 1992. Products manufactured included hard and liquid wood rosin based resin products used by the food and cosmetic industries; dimethylterephthalate, a raw material used for the manufacture of XR-5 fabrics, an agricultural herbicide; and Ethylene Oxide Adduct, a detergent ingredient. The site is located in a low lying area along the Delaware River with ground elevations from 3 to 7.6 meters above mean sea level. The 100-year and 500-year flood elevations are 3.8 and 4.6 meters above MSL respectively. For re-development purposes, the on-site water treatment storage facility consisting of 5 lagoons was converted, in-place, to an on-site repository, containing approximately 45,875 cubic meters of chemically stabilized sludge in addition to soil and concrete impacted with polychlorinated bi-phenyls. The stabilized lagoon system covers approximately 1.3 hectares, complete with an engineered cap. Approximately 191,100 cubic meters of material was imported to construct the site above the 100 year flood plain, in compliance with development requisites. Import material consisted of a modified / processed dredge material. The processed dredge material was trucked approximately 130 kilometers from Newark Bay and was augmented with approximately 8% Portland cement.
