ABSTRACT
The large assortment of geologic formations in New Jersey leads to a variety of significant geogenic contaminant problems in groundwater and wells. Naturally occurring arsenic and radioactive elements are the two most common contaminants to exceed primary drinking water Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) in New Jersey private wells. Manganese, commonly thought of as a nuisance contaminant with a secondary MCL of 50 ug/L, is also a neurotoxin at higher concentrations and has an EPA Health Advisory of 300 ug/L, which is exceeded in many private wells. Boron, which is toxic to the male reproductive system, has also been found in well water at concentrations significantly above the EPA Health Advisory. The geologic sources, in-well remediation, and water treatment technologies for geogenic contaminants will be discussed.

BIOGRAPHY
Steven Spayd, PhD, MPH, PG, is a hydrogeologist and public health scientist recently retired from NJDEP where he worked in the Site Remediation Program and New Jersey Geological Survey for 40 years. He worked on many sites with groundwater and well contamination with a focus on water quality and hydrogeology. His latest work at NJDEP was on the sources and effective water treatment for geogenic contaminants, as well as public health outreach to private well owners in high-risk areas. He has also been an adjunct professor teaching geology and hydrogeology and has coauthored 14 peer-reviewed papers, a book chapter on arsenic, and several NJ Geological Survey and NJDEP publications. Currently, he is the Founder of a startup water consulting business called Diagnosis Water, LLC, and the owner of Farmer Steve’s Popcorn.
