Bayonne Western Interceptor Sewer Community Update: September 2025
Posted September 23, 2025Remediation Almost Done; Monitoring Continues
Under the supervision of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Honeywell has taken significant steps to remediate chromium residue used as fill in the construction of the Bayonne Western Interceptor Sewer (pipeline). The company has remediated areas containing hexavalent chromium above NJDEP standards. These areas are typically found in sections within a narrow band along the pipeline (figure below).
Remediation is substantially completed. A small area along Pipeline Section A is expected to be finished in 2026. Other activities include obtaining permits for post-remediation monitoring and reporting.
