==Contaminated and Superfund sites== ===Underground storage tanks=== The NJDEP lists 39 known locations of underground storage tank contamination in Marlboro Township.<ref>[http://www.state.nj.us/dep/srp/bust/bmon.htm Monmouth County Site Remediation program], [[New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection]]. Accessed June 15, 2015.</ref> ===Burnt Fly Bog=== Located off Tyler Lane and Spring Valley Road on the [[Old Bridge Township, New Jersey|Old Bridge Township]] border, the area of [[Burnt Fly Bog]] in Marlboro Township is listed as a [[Superfund]] clean-up site. It is a [[rural]] area covering approximately {{convert|1700|acre|km2}}, most of it in Marlboro Township, [[Monmouth County, New Jersey|Monmouth County]], New Jersey. During the 1950s and early 1960s, many unlined [[Anaerobic lagoon|lagoons]] were used for storage of [[waste oil]]. As a result, at least {{convert|60|acre|m2}} of the [[bog]] have been [[Contamination|contaminated]]. In addition to the current contaminated area, the site still consists of: [https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Tyler+Lane,+marlboro+township,+nj&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=38.638819,56.513672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Tyler+Ln,+Morganville,+Monmouth,+New+Jersey+07751&ll=40.375721,-74.28189&spn=0.002272,0.003449&t=h&z=18 four lagoons]; an approximately 13,000-cubic-yard mound of sludge; and an undetermined number of exposed and buried drums. The site is a [[Groundwater discharge|ground water discharge]] area for the [[List of aquifers|Englishtown Aquifer]]. In this bog, ground water, surface water, and air are contaminated by oil and various [[Organic compound|organic chemicals]]. Contaminants known to be present include [[ethylbenzene]], [[methylene chloride]], [[tetrachloroethylene]], [[toluene]], [[Acid catalysis|base neutral acids]], [[Heavy metal (chemistry)|metals]], [[Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon|PAHs]], [[Polychlorinated biphenyl|PCBs]], unknown liquid waste, and [[Volatile organic compound|VOCs]].<ref>[http://www.epa.gov/region2/superfund/npl/0200528c.pdf Burnt Fly Bog], [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]], June 10, 2015. Accessed June 12, 2015.</ref> A number of studies have been mounted starting in 1981. At that time the EPA awarded a Cooperative Agreement and funds to New Jersey under the [[Resource Conservation and Recovery Act]]. Early in 1982, EPA used [[Superfund|CERCLA]] funds to install a {{convert|900|ft|m|adj=on}} fence and repair a {{convert|6|ft|m|adj=on}} section of a dike. In 1983, the state completed (1) a field investigation to study the ground water, (2) a feasibility study for removal of contaminated soil and drums, and (3) a feasibility study for closing the site. EPA and the state continue negotiating agreements for further cleanup activities.<ref>[http://www.epa.gov/region02/superfund/npl/0200528c.pdf Burnt Fly Bog]</ref> Through 2003, a total of {{convert|33600|cuyd}} of sedimentation, sludge and soil have been removed for disposal and incineration.<ref>[http://www.gao.gov/archive/1999/rced-99-245/NJ/NJD980504997.html New Jersey: NJD980504997, Burnt Fly Bog], [[Government Accountability Office]]. Accessed December 4, 2016.</ref> The area was then back filled with top soil. In June 2011, a five-year review of the site was published. At that time the remediation status was complete as of date: 9/21/2004. Finally a fence has been installed around the entire site to restrict access and protect human health but has been breached in several locations.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}} The downstream area was cleaned up to residential levels. It was recommended that the NJDEP continued monitoring off Site groundwater for five years. The final suggestion was "Since hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants remain at the Site which do not allow for unlimited use or unrestricted exposure, in accordance with 40 CFR 300.430 (f) (4) (ii), the remedial action for the Site shall be reviewed no less often than every five years. EPA will conduct another five-year review prior to June 2016."<ref>[https://semspub.epa.gov/work/02/109589.pdf ''Third Five-Year Review Report For The Burnt Fly Bog Superfund Site''], [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]], June 2011.

In April 2004, {{convert|18000|cuyd}} of contaminated soil were removed from [[Birch Swamp Brook]] and adjacent properties. In August 2007, EPA arranged for 24-hour security at the site, given that Imperial Oil declared [[bankruptcy]] and ceased operations at the site during July 2007.<ref>[http://www.epa.gov/Region2/superfund/npl/0200764c.pdf Imperial Oil Company, Inc./ Champion Chemicals], [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]].

This field was a cattle farm prior to being donated to the town for school construction. During the [[Association football|soccer]] fields improvement program, tests were conducted at the soccer complex which showed elevated levels of unspecified contaminants. The mayor closed the fields as soon as the test results came in. The township then applied for and received a grant to help with the remediation work.
