Ridgewood is moving forward with an environmental cleanup that officials have deemed necessary despite the unknown magnitude and cost of the project.

The level and type of known contaminants located beneath the municipal parking lot at Walnut Street and Franklin Avenue are not considered a threat to public health, said Village Engineer Chris Rutishauser, but the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has mandated that Ridgewood take immediate action toward remediation of the site.

Ridgewood’s governing body last week took steps to “get the ball rolling” and retained Brinkerhoff Environmental Services to conduct a remediation action plan. The Manasquan-based firm placed a bid of $35,282 for the project.
