Information regarding DEP Sampling of Private Wells within Sludge Application Areas

The Department of Environmental Protection will be sampling residents on private drinking water around sludge application sites. The first round of sampling will occur within the initial risk zone. The risk zone is determined by the Department’s hydrogeologists and may be expanded depending on the sampling results. Those who have had their water impacted, above the interim health advisory threshold of 20 ng/L, will be eligible for a free filter system.
