The 60 West Prospect Street site is currently listed as an active site on the National Priorities List under EPA ID 110006360080. This location and 33 other sites within five miles present significant environmental risks to Midland Park. Primary exposure pathways include vapor intrusion from contaminated soil and groundwater migration into local aquifers. Unspecified hazardous substances at these locations are linked to long-term respiratory issues, skin irritation, and increased risks of chronic illness if high concentrations are ingested or inhaled. Regulatory oversight focuses on containment and monitoring to prevent the spread of toxins into residential areas. Residents should adopt three specific defensive measures to reduce personal risk. First, install high-quality HEPA air filtration systems to mitigate potential vapor intrusion from nearby dry cleaning sites like Laurettas Cleaners. Second, use certified carbon-block water filters for all drinking and cooking water to address potential groundwater contaminants. Third, avoid disturbing soil or using well water for irrigation if your property is near the International Wire Products Corp or Ridgewood Ash Landfill areas. Continuous monitoring of local EPA updates is necessary as cleanup efforts progress.
