Regulatory Overview

The Allied Textile Printing site (EPA ID: 110004141633) is currently listed as an active site on the National Priorities List. This status indicates that the Environmental Protection Agency has identified significant contamination requiring long-term remedial action. In Haledon, the high density of industrial sites—39 within five miles—creates multiple exposure pathways including groundwater infiltration, soil vapor intrusion, and surface water runoff. These unspecified hazardous substances pose severe health risks such as respiratory issues, skin irritation, and long-term systemic damage if ingested or inhaled. Residents must monitor official EPA updates regarding the Allied Textile Printing site to understand specific plume movements. To mitigate risk, residents should follow three defensive measures. First, install a high-quality carbon filtration system for all drinking water to capture potential volatile organic compounds. Second, maintain a shoes-off policy indoors to prevent tracking contaminated industrial soil into living spaces. Third, avoid disturbing soil in areas not tested for heavy metals or chemical residues. These steps reduce direct contact with pollutants while federal cleanup efforts remain ongoing. Consistent monitoring of local air quality reports is also advised due to the proximity of the Paterson Gas Plant and other nearby industrial facilities that contribute to the regional toxic load.
