Dover Armory

UST System Investigation

The Dover Armory is located on approximately 16 acres of land in Rockaway Township, NJ. It is developed with two structures: a two-story armory building operated by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and a garage operated by the Morris County Municipal Utility Authority. The remainder of the site is developed with an asphalt-paved parking lot, storage yard, and landscaped areas.

As part of a Remedial Investigation, Remedial Design, and Remedial Action Contract with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), the Division of Property Management and Construction engaged our team to investigate seven areas of concern (AOCs) associated with former UST systems at the Dover Armory. Historic investigations at the Dover Armory did not fully characterize or delineate potential soil and groundwater conditions in each AOC to determine if a discharge had occurred.

Through the installation of soil borings and monitoring wells, we were also able to characterize each of the AOCs and determined that soil had not been impacted by potential discharges from the UST systems. As such, our Licensed Site Remediation Professional was able to issue an Unrestricted Use Response Action Outcome for soil at each AOC related to the UST systems.

We worked with the NJDEP throughout the project to ensure that Direct Oversight requirements were followed and that no enforcement actions were taken.
