He took me around the area and showed me how far the plume reaches and showed me the houses that had wells were affected by the ground water contamination. We took a drive to the Wildlife Management Area that is affected by contamination which is now land owned by the Township. We also took a tour of the Manasquan Reservoir that provides the drinking water to the Township to the residents that had to fill their wells. After taking a tour of the sites, we returned to the Municipal Building and went through the Township Archives to retrieve documents for this report, and talk for hours about the site.
