Overview: During the recent Washington Township Council meeting, the most pressing topic was the contamination found at the local swim club property, which is located near a stream in a low-lying area. The council discussed the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and pesticides, substances not introduced by township employees and likely present before the township acquired the property. The contamination requires compliance with New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) standards for soil remediation. Boswell Engineering, designated to assess the extent and cost of the remediation, is also tasked with applying for a NJDEP grant, which may cover substantial remediation expenses.
