Public Health Assessment for Franklin Burn Franklin Township, Gloucestyer County, New Jersey EPA Facility ID: NJD9865709092
The Franklin Burn site is located in Franklin Township, Gloucester Country, New Jersey. The site is actually composed of seven separate parcels of land (denoted as sub-sites 1 to 7). Federal and State investigations of the site indicate that unpermitted copper reclamation activities occurred at the sub-site locations, beginning in the late 1960s. Piles of scrap insulated copper wire, and possibly capacitors and/or transformers were placed on the ground surface and ignited to remove paint and insulation so that the remaining copper could be recovered for sale. The burning operations resulted in the generation of ash piles containing hazardous substances and ranging in area from approximately 480 to 15,000 square feet. The site burning operations are reported to have ceased in 1988. However, some evidence of additional burning was reported in November 1996 on sub-site 5, which is located in the private yard of a residence.
