The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

at the Asbestos Dump Superfund
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superfund>

Morris County, New Jersey
<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=40.87,-74.55&spn=
1.0,1.0&q=40.87,-74.55%20
(Morris%20County%2C%20New%20Jersey)&t=h>
and has deleted the site from the National
Priorities List
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Priorities_List>
of hazardous waste sites,
commonly known as the Superfund list.
Between 1927 and 1975, under the
operation of several different
manufacturing companies, waste
products containing asbestos were
disposed of throughout the site,
resulting in soil contamination.
The nearby Passaic River

was also threatened by runoff of contaminated
surface water from the site.
Currently, site properties are owned
by the State of New Jersey,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
<http://www.fws.gov/>
(USFWS), and private parties.
National Gypsum Company
<http://www.nationalgypsum.com/>
is the responsible party for the site.
