Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study at the Berry’s Creek Superfund Site, Bergen County, New Jersey
The Berry's Creek Study Area (BCSA) is a sediment "Mega Site" located in Bergen County, New Jersey, just across the Hudson River from New York City. It is an urban mix of industrial, commercial and residential properties. Berry's Creek itself is a tidal tributary of the Hackensack River, and its watershed encompasses approximately 12 square miles of marshes. The watershed has been found to contain elevated levels of contaminants of potential concern (COPCs) that have migrated to the watershed from various point and non-point sources. A group of potentially responsible parties (BCSA Cooperating PRP Group, or Group) has formed to conduct an RI/FS at the site. In 2007, the Group selected Geosyntec to lead a team to develop and implement the three-phased RI/FS. Ultimately, the results of the RI/FS will be used by U.S. EPA to prepare a Record of Decision.
