A large pile of concrete debris is located south of Building 28 that is comprised of concrete from demolished structures on site. The pile is estimated to contain 900 tons of concrete.
A total of seven samples have been collected to characterize the concrete.

• On August 2, 2019, three five-point composite samples were collected from the concrete pile by Ecoterra Consulting of Piscataway, New Jersey. Samples were analyzed for full Target Compound List / Target Analyte List analyses with a library search for 30 tentatively identified compounds (TCL/TAL+30), New Jersey Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (EPH), hexavalent chromium, and trivalent chromium. No exceedances of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Residential Direct Contact Remediation Standards (RDCSRS) or Non-Residential Direct Contact Soil Remediation Standards (NRDCSRS) were reported. Analytical results are available via link (see Section 2.0).
• On November 10, 2021, four five-point composite samples were collected from the concrete pile by PARS Environmental. Samples were analyzed for TCL/TAL+30 and EPH Category 2. Since total chromium was not reported above 20 mg/kg, no analyses for hexavalent chromium was conducted. No exceedances of NJDEP RDCSRS or NRDCSRS were reported. Analytical results are available via link (see Section 2.0).
