The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting its first five-year review of the Grand Street Mercury Superfund Site in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey. The purpose of this five-year review is to ensure that the cleanup at this site is functioning as intended and continues to be protective of people’s health and the environment.
In 1996, the EPA assisted the Hoboken Health Department in assessing the extent of mercury contamination at the site. The EPA temporarily relocated residents, secured and maintained the site during its sampling. The agency also removed and disposed of soil contaminated with mercury and monitored the groundwater.
The EPA finalized its cleanup plan for the site in a document called a Record of Decision, or ROD, in September 1997 that included relocating residents permanently, demolishing two buildings, removing and disposing of soil contaminated with mercury, and monitoring the groundwater.
In April 2003, the EPA modified the 1997 cleanup plan in a document called an Explanation of Significant Difference, or ESD, to address soil on five surrounding properties. The EPA modified the cleanup plan again in January 2004 in a second ESD to include removing two feet of soil from below the former building footprint. In September 2005, the EPA issued the third ESD to address the groundwater; however, the EPA’s groundwater sampling showed no action was necessary.
All planned actions for the site have been completed. The EPA deleted the site from the National Priorities List in August 2007. A summary of these activities and evaluation of the long-term protectiveness of the cleanup plan will be included in the upcoming five-year review report which will be available in summer 2024.
