Rutherford, together with [[Lyndhurst, New Jersey|Lyndhurst]] and [[North Arlington, New Jersey|North Arlington]], was the site of the [[EnCap]] project, an effort to remediate landfills on the {{convert|785|acre|km2|adj=on}} site and construct homes and golf courses on top of the remediated site. On May 27, 2008, the [[New Jersey Meadowlands Commission]] terminated its agreement with EnCap Golf Holdings, the company that had the contract to redevelop the site, after the company had missed targets to clean up the landfills as part of the project.<ref>Belson, Ken.
