Roads around the chemical company were also shut down.
A gas leak reported late Tuesday morning briefly forced the evacuation of a chemical company facility in Warren County and shut down nearby roads.
Borealis Compounds, 176 Thomas Road in the Port Murray section of Mansfield Township, was cleared of workers, township police confirmed. The first call was reported about 11:20 a.m.
A routine check of a gas meter preceded the evacuation, said Ken Wiecoreck, president of Borealis Compounds in New Jersey. Normal operations had resumed as of 1 p.m.
No injuries were reported.
Borealis works with polymers, base chemicals and fertilizers. The company is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, and employs around 6,500 in more than 120 countries.
