Establishment
of Chromium Workgroup - In March
2004, scientists from the Division
of Science, Research and Technology
(DSRT) were charged with reviewing
the current human health-based soil
clean-up criteria for chromium.
This was done in response to concerns
voiced by the Hudson County community
where most of the chrome ore processing
residue waste sites are located.
An internal DEP workgroup was formed
and chaired by Eileen Murphy, Ph.D.
(DSRT). A report was prepared in
2005 with the findings of the workgroup
(see link below). This chromium
webpage was created as a mechanism
to keep community members and other
stakeholders informed on departmental
chromium reports, projects and issues.
It is updated routinely by the Office
of Science (formerly DSRT).
