A request for a review of available information regarding the remediation of off-site 2.3,7.8-tetrachlorodibenzodloxln (TCDD) contamination in community accessible areas of Newark. New Jersey, known as the Ironbound District (Figure 1), was submitted to the Chronic Diseases Division of the Center for Environmental Health for review by R. Spear. Chief of the Surveillance and Monitoring Branch of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Iteglon II In Edison, New Jersey. The EPA requested a review of their remedial activities strategy plan for possible public health significance. This plan does not outline their remedial action activities, but rather defines the community areas of identified contamination and describes whether remedial activities, additional sampling, or no additional work la planned. The Diamond-Shanrocfc/Diamond Alkali site (henceforth to be called 80 Lister Avenue) is an old 2.4,5-T production facility located at 80 Lister Avenue wblch is on the Passalc River in an Industrialized area of Newark. NJ. This •lie was evaluated for TCDD contamination by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection in May 1983. This on-slte sampling revealed TCDD O contamination of up to 60 parts per billion (pbb) at the South gate and 5100U ppb under a storage tank. Subsequently, the site was designated for remedial O work by the EPA. Extensive EPA sampling has occurred throughout the area to ro determine the extent and levels of contamination. The EPA found an extensive amount of contamination near Lockwood Avenue and Euclid Avenue. This contamination was suspected to have occurred because reaction vessels anJ oil .tanks were, at a previous time, removed from the 80 Lister Avenue facility and dismantled at Brady Iron and Metal Works located at the Lockwood Avenue and Euclid Avenue Intersection. It is presumed that contaminated dirt and soil found in close proximity to the Brady Iron Works was due to wind and water dissemination from the Brady site. Tbe EPA has developed a remedial action plan which will address specifically defined sones within the Ironbound District. They developed the plan bated upon Information contained in a CDC document entitled ~Uc*lth Implication* oi • CO Page 2 - Stephen Kargolli, Ph.D. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodlbenzo-p-dioxln (TCUD) Contamination of Retldentlal Soil". and based upon the CDC developed risk assessment for TCDD In residential aotl. The Ironbound District (study area) was defined as tb« areas bordered by the Paasalc liver on the North and Northwest, the Nev Jersey Turnpike on the East, and the Pulaski Skyway on the South. The area was divided Into 8 zones, eacU classified as residential or commercial. The total study srss and zones are depicted on Figure 2. IPA KISK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY The EPA risk management strategy proposes different plans for residential sad commercial cones. Toe proposed plan for residential zones would "pose s level of concern sad renedlatlon or further sampling' ct 0.78 ppb TCDD. This Is the level st which they would have a 951 confidence that the value was not actually greater than 1 ppb. In commercial cones, the KPA Region II. following the CDC guidance (Klmbrough et.al.) which suggested that a level of concern may not necessarily be reached unless levels are several fold or more above 1 ppb, determined that a level of 5 to 7 ppb TCDD sstlsfactorily met this criteria for the commercial areas around the 80 Lister Avenue site. The ETA legion II developed the following commercial cone guidelines} 1. Soil concentrstlons below 5 ppb TCDD, where movements of soil or dust is mot a problem, indicate no further action Is necessary. 2. Soil concentrations between 5 ppb and 7 ppb, where movement vf soil or dust is not a problem, ere of concern when geographically grouped temples indicate an area has an average soil TCUD concentration greater than 5 ppb. 3. Soil concentration between 7 ppb and 100 ppb TCDD are high and dial action Is Indicated. k A. Soil concentration above 100 ppb TCDD are very high and extensive dlation is required. BESIDEKTIAL ZONES O TCDD values in residential zones 2, the Roosevelt Homes Housing Project, and o 4, the HawkIns Street School area, were all reported to be below the CDC 10 action level of 1 ppb for residential property (0.78 ppb statistical level). The areas of concern in residential cone 1, along Joseph and Esther Streets and oo the block of Albert Avenue between these two streets, are 1) the area around M Joseph Street; 2) the parkwaya on either side of Albert Avenue between Joseph and Esther Streets; 3) the psrkwsy on Lockvood Street near the coraer of Albert Avenue; and 4) the area extending from the yerd at 22 Joseph Street to the parkways on both sides of Esther Streets. For these four sites of contamination, remedial activities srs planned. The EPA also identified one sample in parkway soil with TCDD contamination of 1.2 ppb with multiple surrounding sanples with no dloxin detected. They speculate that the contamination was probably due to the sprsad of contaminated dust, recommend no further action. « c o » 5 [=Q -?•«——• O ZJ§ J^ • 2>«< * » m| 2. »* 5" "> „. Page 3 - Stephen Margolls, Ph.D. The EPA identified no sress of concern in residential sone 3. the Hayea Park East area, but they did have three samples above the statistical limit of 0.78 ppb. One sweep saaple wss 0.78 ppb, and no further action va« suggested. Uns i e» ? — parkway soil saaple, on the cornar of Raymond Blvd. sad Foundry Street, contained 1.1 ppb TCDD. They sgsln speculate that the contamination is the result of scattered contaminated dust, aad rscoamsnd no further action. Th« third contaminated location was a soil sampls taksn between 114 and 118 Waydell Street. Since surrounding samples contain no detectlble dloxln, they suggest no further action; but they suggest that additional sampling might be useful* COMMERCIAL ZONES The commercial areas surrounding the 00 Lister Avenue alee have been divided into 4 tones. Commercial cone 1 consists of the 80 Lister Avenue site aad propertiea bordering the site that were also highly contaminated; cone 2 consists of the Brady Iron and Metal property and the area iaiMdlately surrounding this property which includes the Hlldemana property, the old Morris Canal Bed, the Pulaski Skyway reap parkway, aad extends East to Lockwood Street and North to Euclid Avtaue; sone 3 consists of the commercial and industrial properties bordering Lockwood Street, extending fro* Albert Avenue oo the North to KayBond Boulevard on the South which Includes part of the Pulaski Skyway off-ramp; and, cone 4 consists of all remaining commercial and industrial properties In the study area not defined in xonea 1,2, or 3. Commercial zone 1 has had extensive temporary remedial actions conducted which Included a cover on the entire ground surface of the 80 Lister Avenue site.

Mana Contemporary, at 888 Newark Ave., is the brainchild of artist and entrepreneur Eugene Lemay. With fellow artist and Mana founding partner Yigel Ozeri, he has quickly developed an anonymous patch of Journal Square into a world-class arts destination. Composed of warehouses that will eventually be connected via a Richard Meier-designed sculpture garden, Mana is a one-stop shop for the entire arts community. The professional, working artists who rent Mana’s spacious studios have access to in-house framing, crating, and shipping services—not to mention an artist-run foundry, a silkscreen studio, and a café and beer garden. It’s all part Mana’s mission to allow artists working in different media to collaborate, share ideas, and inspiration. For serious collectors, Mana provides ample space to store and even exhibit their prized collections among five view slideshow (5 images) galleries. There is also a custom-furniture design business for museums and galleries and a large glass building slated to host art fairs and large-scale installations.

  • Making Jersey City's Park System World Class
    MAKING JERSEY CITY’S PARK SYSTEM WORLD CLASS Jersey City has a very good park system, but it could be elite and truly world class. To take the next step up to that elite class will require boldness, creativity, and investment. By renovating existing parks, following through with the new parks that are in various stages of planning or development, completing the Hackensack and Hudson River walkways, and taking the audacious initiative to connect our waterfronts by a series of greenways will enrich the lives of our citizens and make Jersey City’s park system worthy of global attention. A Public Private Partnership for Nonstop Renovation Jersey City began the process of creating a parks master plan to rate the condition and then to renovate Jersey City’s 67 municipal parks a little over a decade ago. In 2008, after numerous public meetings and robust public input, a 10 year detailed plan to improve Jersey City’s park system was put in place that detailed every upgrade that every park needed and estimated the costs of these upgrades. Over the next several years, serious progress was seen. Ercel Webb Park in Ward F, Muhammad Ali and Bayview parks in Ward A, Hamilton Park in Ward E and Ward B’s Boyd McGuiness Park were all substantially improved under the plan. However, the City simply abandoned the plan shortly after Mayor Fulop took office, as he focused his attention, the City’s resources and public relations on just a couple of park improvements. Consequently, parks such as Pershing Field in the Heights have been left to deteriorate and plans to improve it have been shelved.

Our goal will to be to gain an understanding of both the critical events that shaped the city specifically, but also to engage in the narrative threads that define urban evolution in the United States more broadly. We will begin our story before the Puritans arrived and end it with an assessment of where we are today. This course is how Newark became Newark, and all the meanings that encompasses. Learning Goals Through class discussion, students will interact with the materials, the instructor, and their peers. In the process, they will practice both their public speaking skills, and learn how to engage critically with the arguments and evidence of the texts. Students will also regularly practice their writing skills in essay exams and papers. In both the written assignments and the class discussions, students will develop their analytical skills by identifying the course readings’ main theses, supporting arguments, evidence, assumptions, and rhetorical strategies. Texts Brad Tuttle, How Newark Became Newark: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American City (Rivergate, 2009).

  • 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City 2.2
    Jersey City Master Plan / Circulation Element 2. EXISTING CONDITIONS As part of the background work in developing this Circulation Element, a detailed assessment of the history of circulation in Jersey City and an inventory of the baseline conditions of the City’s transportation system were prepared. 2.1 History of Circulation in Jersey City Photo Source: Jersey City Division of City Planning Strategically located on the Hudson River and with easy access to Upper New York Bay, the City of Jersey City was an important center for shipping and maritime activity during the peak of the industrial revolution of the early nineteenth century. This status was reinforced when the Morris Canal was completed at Jersey City in 1836, giving the City shared direct linkage with the Delaware River at Phillipsburg and with important inland points, such as Newark and Paterson. Jersey City continued to serve as a transit point between Upper New York Bay and inland points to the west, but as the industrial revolution progressed, new technologies enabled the development of newer, more efficient forms of transport than canals. Consequently, railroads followed and terminals were constructed along the Hudson River waterfront and other points in the City. One example is the historic Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal, which originally opened in 1864 and is located in what is now Liberty State Park. With terminals located on the Hudson River, it was not long before ideas about a rail linkage to New York City began to evolve. This led to the construction of what is now known as the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) train, which commenced operations in 1907 after many arduous years of tunneling under the Hudson River.

  • Ironbound Community Master Plan 2001
    IRONBOUND COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN 2001 PLANNING PRINCIPLES Preserve the physical character and vitality of the Ironbound neighborhood by establishing and enforcing strong design and planning standards. Control transition areas between Downtown Newark and the Ironbound to prevent encroachment on the neighborhood. Create opportunities for growth and redevelopment within commercial areas while respecting the character of the neighborhood. Preserve strong industrial areas for industrial and related uses. Permit residential development in appropriate locations at appropriate densities. Preserve residential quality of life by protecting residential areas from incompatible uses and activities, such as excessive noise and pollution. Convert the waterfront into a major open space resource for the community, city and region. Link the waterfront to the neighborhood, and link schools and open spaces within the neighborhood, through green corridors. Provide adequate sites for new schools, playgrounds, and community facilities. Link scattered residential areas to the heart of the neighborhood. Create an environmentally sound community by adding green areas, planting trees, responsibly cleaning contaminated sites, and reducing air and water pollution. Create a safe and welcoming environment for pedestrians and users of public transportation Relieve congestion through a variety of means, including off-street parking garages, resident permit parking, and public transportation improvements. PLANNING AREAS 1. CBD TRANSITION DISTRICTS Expansion of the Central Business District (CBD) east of the Amtrak main line into the Ironbound will have an adverse impact on the character and livability of the area, and should be prevented. Key areas between the Amtrak line and the heart of the neighborhood should be desig-nated as transition areas, with appropriate land use and development standards to enable them to be redeveloped while maintaining the character of the community.
