Landfill burned for 30 years

Friday, January 18, 2008

The PJP Landfill site has been a source of controversy for years.

It had been used as a dump since the days trash was transported by horse and wagon, longtime residents said in 1985 when a cleanup was getting under way. The PJP designation came from the PJP Sanitary Landfill Co., which leased the property from 1968 to 1974 and engaged in the disposal of solid waste.

Officials at the time said the fire that burned under the landfill was ignited by volatile solvents and hazardous chemicals that seeped into the earth. Longtime residents said it had been going on for 30 years, from roughly 1956 to 1986, when the state DEP spent $19 million to douse the flames and excavate and remove the more than 5,000 barrels of toxic materials.

Residents said at the time it wasn't until around 1984 that the smoke and fumes made their way to the surface.

The disdain for new development in Downtown JC on this forum is both idiotic and sad.

I'm sorry the days of dollar stores lining downtown are almost over....

I believe the existing building need a huge investment to repair its roof, as well as upgrade a good deal of its facilities. The new development deal gives the club the upgraded facilities without bankrupting the organization.

No you wouldn't, I doubt it. For years the Brennan Coffee House that does monthly folk music gigs in the old county court house under the rotunda with it's art deco designs and Sistine Chapel like art work never gets the respected audiance it deserves and it is right up Newark Ave. on the top of the hill.

I think that chart will lead to the only possibly ethical food left being yeast paste. Plants are highly evolved beings and have a right to live too, without being cut down and eaten or having their fetuses & children eaten.

In the case religious beliefs, by definition yes, of course it?s irrational behavior. I wouldn?t pass judgment on irrationality itself though?it is an inseparable and valuable component of human behavior?but its manifestation can sometimes be quite amusing when observed in the context of a different world view. I do not adhere to religious laws of any kind, which provides me with a different world view, and I wouldn?t be the first person to notice actions in the name of religion can be rather inconsistent if not quizzical at times. Whether the behavior is right or wrong isn?t the argument I?m making, I?m just taking the opportunity to throw sarcasm around.

Now in the case of those who protest rennet for ?ethical reasons? but consume cheese, that?s just a profoundly silly gesture.

Unless you abstain from dairy products altogether, the source of cheese-making enzymes should only be important if you care more about precious arbitrary values than the lives of animals. It?s a wildly disproportionate concern. In this case, the unpleasant reality of milk production is the five-hundred pound gorilla in the room, not a milliliter of rennet.

I found out the other day, when PostNet quoted me $17 to mail a 2-pound package via US parcel post (ground delivery). that seemed kind of steep, and I had the time, so I wandered over to the post office and paid $11 for certified priority mail. now...will the package get to its destination? that's anyone's guess. where the people at the post office helpful and friendly? you're joking.

I must be weird. I love the folks at the post office. They have never let me down. I had a receipt for a package they tried to deliver when I wasn't home, when I went to pick it up, they said they couldn't find it--I told them they couldn't miss it, it was huge. "Oh, that one! It's still on the truck!" She got a dude who went outside and got it for me.

yeah. see? this.

Just drove past a house on the corner here, and there looked to be about 10-15 detectives that were emptying the house, with all the contents in big black plastic bags, filling a flat-bed truck (with rails, obviously).

Anyone know what it was all about? Looked like a pretty big bust.

Did you happen to get an address ? I wonder if they were the owners and if not who is renting to who ?
