During the 58-year history of Army research and development in the Evans Area, PCBs were used to insulate and cool electrical equipment such as transformers and capacitors. We ve worked hard on this and will continue to do so until such time as we ve turned over the property to the community.
Public safety is our priority.
We re doing the right thing. We plan to transfer a majority of the Evans Area for Wall Township's use by the end of the year, he said. Pending completion of the PCB cleanup effort, the remainder of the property is expected to transfer during the following year.
