The 60 West Prospect Street site is currently an active National Priorities List location under EPA jurisdiction. Cleanup operations target tetrachloroethylene, a volatile organic compound known to migrate through soil and into groundwater. Exposure pathways include the inhalation of vapors through basement foundations and the ingestion of contaminated well water. Long-term exposure to this chemical is linked to liver damage and increased cancer risks. Regulatory oversight ensures ongoing monitoring, but the high density of surrounding sites like the Bergen Perchlorate Ion Site increases cumulative risk. To protect your household, implement these three defensive measures. First, install a certified vapor intrusion mitigation system if your home is near a plume. Second, use high-quality activated carbon water filters for all drinking and cooking water. Third, conduct annual indoor air quality testing to detect volatile organic compounds. Refer to EPA ID 110006360080 for specific remediation progress and site updates. Local soil and water tables remain vulnerable until full decontamination is achieved. Constant vigilance is necessary given the 69 hazardous sites within a ten-mile radius of Saddle River.
