Dredge Material Disposal: Dredged material is destined for the contaminated dredge material borrow pits on ths west side of Newark Bay.

Preliminar) Results;

Volatile Organic Compounds fVOCs): Three VOCs (acetone, carbon disulfide, 2- butanone) 'were detected at very low concentrations. Acetone was detected in the lab blank, suggesting laboratory contamination with this common laboratory reagent.

Base Neutral/Acid Extractables (BNAs); BN As were detected in all of the samples. The highest concentrations were detected in ths six (6) inch deep petit ponar grab sample that was collected closest to the Joe DiMaggio Drive bulkhead (sample P-l). The compounds detected are often associated with highway runoff, creosote treated marine pilings, and industrial activities. Detected concentrations were compared to the ecological Effects Range Low (ERL) and Effect Range Medium (ERM) established by NOAA for the eleven (11) compounds for which these values exist. Five (5) compounds exceeded the ERM, and all were in the petit ponar grab (P-1) sample. ERM exceedences were all less than a factor of two (2). Figure attached.

Metals: All samples were analyzed for arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, and mercury. All of the metals were detected in all of the samples As for PaHs, petit ponar sample P-1 contained the highest concentrations of all of the metals. Concentrations of the metals in all of the six samples collected exceeded the upper concentrations detected throughout NY Harbor during EP.A’s 1994-1995 REMAP survey Figure attached,.

PCBs: PCBs were analysed as arociors in all samples. Two (2) PCBs (Arocior 1254 and 1260) were detected in all of the samples. No other PCBs were detected in any sample.
