That may be true Ms. Anne Elke, but as Bob Dylan once sang, the times they are changin’.
Former New Jersey Governor, and EPA Administrator, the lovely Christie Todd Whitman recently remarked that cleaned up Superfund sights in New Jersey are testaments to the positive changes that can be accomplished when a great State and its wonderful citizens come together for an important cause. In fact, more than a dozen Superfund sites across New Jersey have been fully cleaned up and are now available to the citizens of New Jersey and our guests (other than NFH and p_c) for enjoyable use.
A couple of examples are:
The Bridgewater Township Superfund site, where New Jersey strong armed American Cyanamid to clean up its polluting chemical manufacturing wastes. This formerly poisoned area is now in the process, through the efforts of the State, the Township, the EPA, other local governments, and a private company, of being redeveloped into a minor league baseball stadium and a 700,000-square foot multi-use complex.
The Superfund site at Alcyon Park in Mantua Township, New Jersey has gone from a shithole of dumped checmical waste to a recreational wonderland of six playing fields, a nature hiking trail, a paved and lighted parking facility, a recreational building, clean and usable streams, marshes, and lovely, picturesque (and quite potable I might add) Alcyon Lake.
These are just a few of the many success stories in New Jersey, in our battle to reclaim our natural resources. Don’t sell us short Ms. Anne Elke, after all, New Jersey and you, perfectly cleaned up together!
