The temperature was approximately 8SoP and the skies were clear. We. were accompanied on this site inspection by Michael Cisek of the Division of Environmental Quality who is dealing with this site in regard to air· pollution issues. We arrived at the site at approximately 11:00 a.m. and were met by Gerald Greenberg, Vice President of Central Steel Drum. Originally Mr. Greenberg was going to conduct the site inspection with us but he requested that Norman Cohen, Plant Manager, take us around instead. We had a videocamera and a 35 mm camera during this site inspection, which we used to record the site conditions and general operation. Upon entry to the site I observed numerous drums in the temporary storage area which were not marked with the contents or accumulation dates. I informed Mr. Cohen about this situation and he stated that he would correct the problem immediately. In the drum' storage area I noticed that CSDhad purchased a new piece of equipment and was operating it on a flat-bed trailer. This equipment is used to cut the tops off of the closed head drums to allow flame access in the incineration process. This equipment will remain outside until the operators work the Irbugslr out of it; at that point it will be installed permanently within the cutting shed where the old equipment is now. The drum storage area in general looks as it has on alI" my previous inspections. with absolutely no progress made toward remediating th~ numerous environmental concerns onsite. Spills of blue, green and red liquids were apparent on the ground throughout the drum storage area, but no New Jersey is an EqUal Opportunity Employer Recycled Papsr G BBG000081 TIERRA-B-002629 direct source was evident. The material seemed to s~ep and collect in puddles adjacent to piles of drums. In the vicinity of the incin~rator I observed an extremely large area of green liquid that appeared to be originating from the drum flipping operations. When I went to the eas~ side of the drum flipping shed. I witnessed and photographed green liquid flowing di~ectly from the drum flipping house. The rolloff containers at the site were. full and contained a gray/black ash. The doors on one of the rolloff containers. stood open, allowing material to fall into a large puddle of l'iquid beneath it and eventually flow off of the site. The sludge burner portion of the incineration process was shut down during this site inspection, therefore not allowing the full treatment of drum residue to occur. Conversations with Mr. Cisek of DEQ showed that the sludge burner had· been shut down for a minimum of six weeks. Mr• Cisek also observed the continued release of fugitive emissions from CSD's incinerator' stack along with the release of large amounts of fly ash from the incinerator itself. Mr. Cisek will handle these violations through a DEQenforcement action. In addition to all of the above, Mr. Cisek and I observed a flash fire on the incinerator line, fueled by the drum residues. I was able to photograph this fire before it was extinguished. At the rear of the maintenance garage on the south end of the site, Mr. Smith noted and videotaped a drainage pipe which originated from a wash sink in the garage and ~ischarged directly onto the ground. This may have caused severe harm to the surrounding media depending on the material that was being discharged. After the videotaping was completed, I again questioned Mr. Cohen about his status on labeling the drums in the drum storage area. He again said he would have the drums labeled immediately. Mr. Smith, Mr. Cisek and I left the site at 1:00. sw TIERRA-B-002630 I...."..........,,..rc.u1h e .,tate ot nem 'et'seJ!

Division of Hazardous Waste Management, and myself arrived for a site inspection of Centralo Steel Orurr. (CSD) on February 27, 1990 at 11:30 a.m. It was 25-30 F, windy and cloudy. Upon our arrival to the Site we met with Neil Fischer, Production Manager for CSD, who proceeded to give us a tour of the Site and a general explanation of the operation. Mr. Fischer began the tour at the area where workers unload drums from incoming trailers. Tom and myself observed this operation for a short time and noticed that none of the worker~ unloading the drums checked to see if the drums were "empty". The term "empty" is defined as having one inch (lt1) of material or less remaining :n the drum. When I questioned Mr. Fischer about how his workers check [L' ensure that the drums are "empty", he told me that they can tell by we1.!,!ht. This is not a sufficient method to guarantee that these drums are "empty". Mr. Fischer also gave me a form that he requests the drum suppliers; t( sign. asserting that the drum are "empty". Although thiS form may gi\'t' CSD some assurance that the drums are "empty". it is CSD's ulti.lTIate responsibility to ensure that these drums are "empty". At the time (If ~v site inspection CSD was not fulfilling that responsibility. After the workers unload the drums from the trucks, they place them t n .1 storage area if there are no orders for that type of drum, or if they LaH orders for that type of drum they place the drums on a chain conveyor tc ~~t processed and run through a drum incinerator.

Underwater cultural heritage in the Asia Pacific: Introduction. International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies 17 (2): 1–14. https://doi.org/10.21315/ijaps2021.17.2.1 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/ijaps2021.17.2.1 This 2021 themed issue of the International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies explores a diverse heritage of humanity found throughout the Asia-Pacific region – its “Underwater Cultural Heritage” (UCH). The study of UCH dates from the 1960s through the pioneering effort of Dr. George Bass and his work in the Mediterranean. Sadly Dr. Bass passed away in March 2021, but his legacy lives on in all of us who work in this field and in the community who benefit from the knowledge that he inspired to be revealed. The Asia-Pacific region contains some of the oldest connections humans have with the sea, through species from the homo genus crossing over to the island of Flores in Indonesia between one to two million years ago, from either colonisation/seafaring, or accidental, natural migration (Dunne 2017; Ruxton and Wilkinson 2012). In Oceania, seafarers navigated by the stars, watched the path of migrating birds and understood weather and wave patterns.

  • Tongiaki to Kalia: the Micronesian-Rigged Voyaging Canoes of Fiji and Western Polynesia and Their Tangaloan-Rigged Forebears
    TONGIAKI TO KALIA: THE MICRONESIAN-RIGGED VOYAGING CANOES OF FIJI AND WESTERN POLYNESIA AND THEIR TANGALOAN-RIGGED FOREBEARS FERGUS CLUNIE Sainsbury Research Unit, University of East Anglia Since 1817, understanding of Fiji and Western Polynesia’s voyaging-canoe heritage has been retarded by a theory advanced in John Martin’s Account of the Natives of the Tonga Islands. According to his hypothesis, Tongan voyagers replaced their Tangaloan-rigged tongiaki double canoes with pre- existing Micronesian-rigged Fijian drua ‘double canoes’ (Tongan kalia) in the late 18th century. (Tangaloan, as I use it, refers to the culture, gods and people of a group of immigrants from island Southeast Asia who, led by Tangaloa, arrived in what are now Western Polynesia and eastern Fiji in AD 450-500.)1 I am arguing here that, while drua/kalia were indeed built in Fiji, Martin’s hypothesis was ill-conceived. In doing so, I shall provide overwhelming evidence that Tongan navigators and Tongan-Samoan canoe-wrights drove a generationally staged development whereby tongiaki were crossed with a Micronesian-rigged Kiribati outrigger-canoe to produce twin-hulled transitional offspring that were then crossed with similarly hybridised Kiribati-rigged hamatefua ‘outrigger-canoes’ (Fijian camakau) to produce kalia/drua. To substantiate my thesis, I first examine Martin’s drua vs kalia hypothesis and document how it survived after it had been authoritatively discredited. Then I explore how the canoes themselves reflect not just their own evolution but that of the societies which produced and used them. To substantiate the foregoing, the article is broken into four key sections and corresponding subsections.
