LITTLE FERRY - Test results of ground water samples collected March 8  
from two monitoring wells at the Memorial School show that  
contaminants were not detected. The ground water sampling was done by  
Environmental Waste Management Associates (EWMA), an environmental  
consulting and remediation firm, on behalf of J.S. Popper Inc.

EWMA Director Al Moffit said at the March 13 council meeting that the  
Popper site, located at 200 Liberty St., has the solvent  
trichloroethylene, or TCE, in both soil under the building and in  
ground water.

Moffit could not say the amount of contamination at the Popper property.

The Popper site, formerly used for metal producing, now has a  
warehouse. According to Moffit, operations ceased in 2002 at the  
site, and it was under New Jersey Department of Environmental  
Protection (DEP) oversight to investigate "potential areas of  
concern" related to the former operations.
