Documents we received from NJDEP re: 165 Lindbergh Road well pollution problem.  These documents were received by East Amwell Township Board of Health in response to an Open Public Records Act request submitted by the Board of Health. The request was for all information and documents related to well water and groundwater contamination at a private residence at 165 Lindbergh Road. The request was made in June 2022 in response to a resident calling, also in June, about NJDEP getting in touch about sampling their water well for elevated levels of Tetrachloroethene (also known as Perchloroethylene, or PCE). The contamination was never followed up by NJDEP back in 2003 when it first was discovered by the homeowner at 165 Lindbergh Rd., so no neighbors nor the township knew about the contamination. A treatment system was reportedly installed on the homeowner’s well to remove the TCE and fecal coliform.
