On of the great things about living in Jersey City is the opportunity to encounter chemicals one might otherwise never encounter in the wild in a lifetime.

It is happening again. Keep your windows shut, this morning I have been watching random large clouds of dirt rising around and just north of the Rt 7 Hackensack drawbridge. The dirt is wafting SE into Downtown like a fog after it gets kicked up. I cant tell if it is coming from the power plant, the Standard Chlorine superfund site, or somewhere else?

I love the smell of chromium in the morning.

PJP is a mess but i am pretty sure they removed the top soil long ago and capped it. The dust might be OK...hopefully.

Construction... there are mountains of gravel, sand, and clay used to fortify the foundations of the new pylons and roads being built.
There is also exposed loose soil beneath the Pulasky Skyway. I saw the dust cloud a few days ago and drove through it while navigating that awful circle. Must be a real mess today.

You may not want to hear this, but it's coming from that big, open field just south of the Pulaski Skyway that was formerly the 87-acre PJP Landfill Superfund site. It's scary to think what might be lurking in that dust. They should have planted some grasses or some other vegetation to contain the dirt. Now every time there's wind, it just blows across the city.

When it is really windy I consistently see a dust cloud in one area of JC. It looks to be somewhere near Tonnelle circle. Today it looks like a big sandstorm/beige fog. The sunlight is diffracted south to Bayonne and SINY from my perspective. Is this a result of the construction, power plant dust, something else???
