UPDATE - Davidson Mill Crash Cleanup
South Brunswick Mayor Charlie Carley asked the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for an accounting of the efforts being made to clean up the Davidson Mill Road crash from Friday morning. Mayor Carley said, “It has been 6 days since the crash and I want to ensure that the area is completely cleaned up as soon as possible.” The DEP responded by saying they responded to the scene of the crash on Friday morning. They determined there were no impacts on the local water supply or surface water. DEP estimated about 600 to 1000 gallons of diesel spilled and was removed on the day of the incident. DEP said what remains to be done is the removal of impacted surface soil, which was held up due to inclement weather. A Licensed Site Remediation Professional for the trucking company is overseeing that work.
Mayor Carley said he will ask for a complete accounting of the crash and cleanup in the days ahead. “I want to make sure we recoup any costs the town incurred as a result of the crash. The residents should not have to pay for careless driving and roadway closures over the past week,” said Mayor Carley
