RT has been the lead environmental consultant on a long-term landfill closure and redevelopment project located in Bellmawr and Deptford, New Jersey. The 113-acre site is home to three adjacently located historic landfills that operated from the 1960’s to 1970’s. Due to improper closure of the landfills, soil, groundwater, and surface water contamination remained on the site to a degree that exceeded public and environmental health and safety standards. With the exception of a composting facility operated by the Borough of Bellmawr in the mid-1990’s, the property had since remained unused and underutilized, with limited to no access to natural areas bordering Big Timber Creek. In 2009, the landfills were designated as a Brownfield Development Area by the Borough of Bellmawr and Township of Deptford through an agreement with NJDEP, with the goal to revitalize the area by remediating the landfills and bringing the property back to productive reuse through redevelopment. The project is managed by a public-private partnership between the municipalities, and a private developer who has completed several large projects for the restoration of The Port of Philadelphia. The project has also received significant funding from the State of New Jersey through the state’s Hazardous Discharge Site Remediation Fund.
