SECAUCUS -- On Monday the town of Secaucus received the results of  
environmental testing conducted last fall at the old Keystone Metal  
Finishing plant on Humboldt Street.

With the help of a $60,000 grant last August from the Hudson County  
Economic Development Corporation (HCEDC), the town hired engineers  
from Birdsall Services Group-PMK to conduct another round of  
environmental testing at the notorious site. A 1.37-acre site located  
along Humboldt Place and Raydol Avenue in a mostly residential  
neighborhood, Keystone Metal Finishing operated in town from 1947 to  
1991, when the plant closed after the owner’s death. Remediation of  
groundwater and soil at the site began in 1996, two years after the  
plant was demolished. Since then, the town has continued to monitor  
the success of the remediation and any environmental impact of the  
contamination.

...

Based on these results the town wants to test the homes located 100  
feet or less from the groundwater contamination for vapor intrusion.
