STATEMENT

 

     This bill allocates $2 million in constitutionally dedicated Corporation Business Tax revenues for hazardous substance discharge remediation to the Department of Environmental Protection for the cleanup of the White Swan Cleaners/Sun Cleaners Superfund site in Monmouth County.  The United States Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a plan to clean up contaminated soil and ground water at the site from previous dry cleaning operations that caused the contamination of the soil and ground water with volatile organic compounds.  Exposure to these chemicals can have serious health impacts to the surrounding population.
