Pepe Field, NY is the 750th site that EPA has cleaned up since the federal Superfund program began in 1980.
"Play Ball! Its a whole new ball game at Pepe Field, where U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Carol Browner, along with Senator Frank Lautenberg, Representative Rodney Frelinghuysen and others celebrated the successful cleanup of toxic gas-producing wastes and the restoration and re-opening of this Boonton, New Jersey community park and little league ball field. Pepe Field is the 750th National Priorities List site in the country that EPA has cleaned up since the federal Superfund program began in 1980. The three-acre park, nestled in a suburban community of 90,000 residents, was closed after EPA named Pepe Field a federal Superfund site in 1982. The property was used from the 1920s to the 1950s as a landfill for wastes from the manufacture of edible oils and cleaning products for household and industrial uses."
