EPA Finalizes Jersey Superfund Cleanup Plan Using New Technology

The US Environmental Protection Agency has ammended the cleanup plan for the Cosden Chemical Coatings Corp superfund site in Beverly, N.J. to accommodate a new technology, according to EPA Friday.

The new treatment method, in-situ oxidation, will use oxidizing chemicals to break down hazardous contaminants into less toxic byproducts found in groundwater, said the agency.

The cleanup plan will require long-term monitoring to ensure it works as intended, EPA said.
