New Brunswick Site

From 1948 to 1977, the New Brunswick Site, located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, operated as a general nuclear chemistry laboratory performing radiochemical analyses for the Manhattan Engineer District and the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

The site was partially remediated in two phases between 1978 and 1983, including removal of all aboveground structures, contaminated concrete foundations and on-site drain liners, and contaminated soils on the front two-thirds of the property. In 1990, DOE designated the site for additional remediation of residual soil contamination under FUSRAP. DOE remediated localized areas of contamination identified in 1996 and certified that the site complied with applicable cleanup criteria and standards in September 2001. The property was released for unrestricted use.
