The purpose of this CRP is to encourage constructive interaction and meaningful two-way communications between the agencies conducting remedial actions and the community affected by the site. Because community relations is a dynamic process, this plan should be updated as the project develops and the community's concerns evolve. Information for this document was obtained from files maintained by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Region II Office (EPA), the New Jersey Depart­ ment of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), and a recent public meeting held in Toms River, New Jersey. In addition, phone conversations with the Ocean County Health Department and the Ocean County Citizens for Clean Water (OCCCW) were conducted. This CRP first outlines background information and the history of community relations. Issues and concerns of the community are then discussed. The objectives of this plan and the techniques recommended to meet these objectives are stated, after which a proposed schedule and estimated budget are provided. A list of groups and individuals who are interested in activities associated with the site concludes this CRP. 1-1 CIB 009 2022 2.0 BACKGROUND AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS HISTORY 2.1 Site History The Ciba-Geigy Chemical Corporation Site (CG) is located in the western part of Dover Township, Ocean County, New Jersey (see Figure 2-1). The site is 1275 acres in size and is approximately 3 miles northwest of the business district of the unincorporated town of Toms River. The Toms River forms the northeast border of the site. The New Jersey Garden State Parkway is approximately 1 mile east of the site. Highway 37 runs close to the southwestern end of the property. An industrial park is adjacent to the western boundary of the site. Two senior citizen developments are located about 1 mile south of the CG site. Presently located on the site are a manufacturing complex consisting of 30 major buildings, a wastewater treatment plant and a lined overflow storage reservoir for treated and untreated wastewater (see Figure 2-2). In addition to these structures, several waste disposal areas are located on the CG site. An 8-acre chemical landfill which was closed in 1978 and contains bulk wastes and approximately 92,000 drums, a seven and one-half acre inactive sludge disposal area, closed aeration lagoons, oxidation and settling basins, and sludge-drying beds are all onsite. In addition, an active landfill is located on the site. The manufacturing of chemicals began at the Ciba-Geigy Chemical Corporation Site in 1952. The company was known as the Toms River Division of Ciba States Limited at that time. The plant manufactured vat dyestuffs and epoxy resins by the Bisphenol A process. By 1960, the Cincinnati Chemical Works, Inc. (a company also partially owned by Ciba' States Limited) had been moved to Toms River. Toms River Division was renamed the Toms River Chemical Corporation. The production of azo dyestuffs and' intermediates resulted in different types of wastes being generated at the site. The Ciba-Geigy Chemical Corporation assumed complete control of Toms River Chemical in 1981. When operations began, there were: a wastewater treatment plant, four unlined aeration lagoons, unlined oxidation and settling basins, a chemical landfill and a 2-1 CIB 009 2023 PLEASANT 0.2 <W< BASE MAP IS A PORTION OF THE U.S.G.S.

NJ NUS SCALE' |"=I400'* CXJFFORATiaN A Halliburton Company sludge landfill in operation. The amounts of chemicals and sludge disposed of in the landfills are unknown. Drummed solid residues and waste lime sludge from in- house manufacturing processes were buried in the chemical landfill; filtercake sludge was buried in the sludge landfill. The wastewater from the treatment plant was discharged into the Toms River until 1966, when CG began to discharge the treated wastewater into the Atlantic Ocean, replacing the discharge to Toms River. The use of the old wastewater treatment system was discontinued in 1976. The oxidation and settling basins and treatment system lagoons were excavated and backfilled. The four lagoons were reported to contain undetermined amounts of sludge after backfilling operations. These four unlined lagoons are located near the northeast boundary of the CG property and are 400-600 feet from the west bank of the Toms River. The new wastewater treatment plant was permitted and began operation in 1977. Since then CG's solid wastes have been disposed of in the currently active 18-acre multicell landfill. The first cell of this landfill has been closed and the second cell is now being used. The cells are doubled-lined along the bottom and sides. The landfill contains a leachate collection system between the two liners and nine monitoring wells are in place to monitor surrounding groundwater quality. Procedures for closing Cell I of the landfill were begun in 1978. Prior to the use of Cell II, an inspection by NJDEP was conducted and Cell I was observed to be leaking. Attempts were made to stop the leak. Toward the end of 1979 leaks were observed in the second cell of the landfill. Efforts to patch holes in the liner of Cell II did not result in a decrease of flow. In January of 1980, the EPA performed the identification and preliminary assessment of the CG site. Three site visits by EPA occurred during this year. Late in 1980, CG was ordered to close Cell I of the landfill so that no liquids could enter the cell through the top or sides and to redesign Cell II before any more wastes could be disposed of there. 2-4 CIB 009 2026 The landfill is situated above the Cohansey aquifer. The Cohansey is an important shallow water-table aquifer that supplies water to most of southern New Jersey. It also provides recharge to the underlying Kirkwood formation. Early in 1983, the NJDEP Office of Regulatory Services wrote a memo to the NJDEP Environmental Protection Section's Division of Law requesting immediate action against CG to obtain injunctive relief to stop ongoing, severe, potable water contamination. In June, NJDEP Division of Water Resources (DWR) sent a letter to the company stating that further acceptance of waste streams, either hazardous or non-hazardous, would result in prosecution. 2.2 Community Relations History Approximately 15 years after the Ciba-Geigy Chemical Corporation (CG) began operations, the first reports.of odors by local residents occurred. Investigations by the local health department revealed that the possible sources of the odors were the aeration ponds and a holding pond at the site. The plant was notified and undertook proper maintenance, which resulted in the elimination of the odors for about one year. The holding pond was not used for most of that year. In March of 1969, nearby residents again complained of odors that seemed to emanate from the plant site. A pumpline failure was discovered which necessi­ tated the use of the holding pond again. The holding pond subsequently was drained and then refilled with fresh water. No odors were reported near the site for the next year and one-half. On numerous occasions in September of 1970 "shoe-polish" type odors were reported by residents coming from the CG plant. This was coupled with the more severe problem of contamination of several potable wells of nearby residents. The installation of a public water supply for these residents decreased the number of groundwater contamination complaints. The responsible party or parties for the well contamination were never identified. 2-5 CIB 009 2027 The next incident to arouse public interest was a report in the Evening Times. Trenton, New Jersey of an indictment against CG for dumping potentially dan­ gerous wastes into the Atlantic Ocean without a permit in 1972. Between 1972 and 1974, there were numerous complaints from residents about air pollution and water pollution. During this same time, CG submitted an application for a permit for ocean dumping.

    Taking the pulse of the Class of 1971 at our 45th Reunion Forty-fifth. A propitious number, or so says Affinity Numerology, a website devoted to the mystical meaning and symbolism of numbers. Here’s what it says about 45: 45 contains reliability, patience, focus on building a foundation for the future, and wit. 45 is worldly and sophisticated. It has a philanthropic focus on humankind. It is generous and benevolent and has a deep concern for humanity. Along that line, 45 supports charities dedicated to the benefit of humankind. As we march past Nassau Hall for the 45th time in the parade of alumni, and inch toward our 50th, we can at least hope that we live up to some of these extravagant attributes. (Of course, Affinity Numerology doesn’t attract customers by telling them what losers they are. Sixty-seven, the year we began college and the age most of us turn this year, is equally propitious: Highly focused on creating or maintaining a secure foundation for the family. It's conscientious, pragmatic, and idealistic.) But we don’t have to rely on shamans to tell us who we are. Roughly 200 responded to the long, whimsical survey that Art Lowenstein and Chris Connell (with much help from Alan Usas) prepared for our virtual Reunions Yearbook. Here’s an interpretive look at the results. Most questions were multiple-choice, but some left room for greater expression, albeit anonymously. First the percentages.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 085 811 CS 500 553 TITLE College Carrier Current: A Survey of 208 Campus-Limited Radio Stations. INSTITUTION Broadcast Inst. of North America, New York, N.Y. PUB DATE 72 NOTE 52p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *College Students; Educational Research; Mass Media; *Media Research; *Programing (Broadcast) ;Publicize; *Radio; *School Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Carrier Current Radio ABSTRACT The purpose of this survey was to determine the extent to which carrier current radio has become a medium which can link and unify relatively small, well-defined groups in an effective and inexpensive way. The survey focused upon the auspices, structure, affiliation, day-to-day managerial responsibility, and administrative liaison of the stations; their commercial or non-commercial status; and the nature and scope of their programing. A multiple-choice questionnaire wAs mailed to 439 stations; of the 233 that responded, 25 stations reported that they were not operative carrier stations, resulting in a net sample of 208 stations. The findings indicated that: most stations are run as undergraduate student activities, few stations are used for formal or informal training; most stations carry commercial advertising, but few rely upon time sales for their main support; most stations rely upon institutional or student generated funds for their main support; programing consists mainly of recorded music; most stations afford little or no opportunity for student self-expression or news and public affairs programing; and most stations appear relatively free from institutional or outside controls but in most cases there appears to be little or no inclination to use this freedom innovatively.
