LiPari Landfill is located in Mantua Township, New Jersey. Mantua is a small town in South Jersey neighboring Pitman Township and Glassboro. The landfill is bordered by the Zee Orchard on the north and the west and a housing development on the northeast. Numerous lakes, streams and marshlands are in close proximity to the landfill. The Kirkwood aquifer, which lies beneath the ground, provides the groundwater for drinking water supplies that nearly 11,000 people in a three mile area depend on.

Nicholas LiPari first bought the land in 1958 to excavate a sand and gravel business. Soon after excavation began trenches appeared. LiPari allowed local municipalities and Burroughs to dump household solid waste, liquid and semi-solid chemical wastes, and other industrial materials. Records were not kept, but it is estimated that roughly three million gallons of liquid wastes and 12,000 cubic yards of solid waste were deposited on the site. Dumping continued for a fourteen year period, beginning in 1958 and continuing through 1971.

Stage 3 - in 1985, the EPA selected a remedy to clean up the groundwater and leatchate from the landfill. The process included installing extraction and injection wells within the landfill pumping system to flush the system and pump the contaminated groundwater and leatchate through a series of purifying devices. A sewage treatment plant was built on site. Wells were installed in the Kirkwood aquifer to monitor leatchate into the aquifer. The extraction and injection wells as well as the treatment plant were completed in 1993. As of August, 1996, 24 million gallons of contaminated groundwater and landfill leatchate had been treated.
