NJ Transit Serves As Model To Be Avoided

Laptop Battery Every step of the way, state transit agency has dug itself deeper in East Camden case. NJ Transit just keeps looking worse and worse regarding the contaminated soil it piled into huge mounds near residential neighborhoods in East Camden last year.

Katz runs the company with 22 paid employees and 300 volunteers who give technical support to new users and are compensated with free memberships (remember those days at AOL ). He rents space in two AT&T data centers, one in Manhattan, another inSecaucus, N.J., with $700, 000 worth of computer equipment, end servers from Dell Computer and five IBM Unix servers. The $2 million annual payroll is his biggest expense.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

That's the kind of thing nearby residents might have wanted to know before letting their children play on the hills.

Laptop Computer Once residents started asking about the piles - some stretching 30 feet high - NJ Transit said they had been placed there as sound barriers. Never mind that the agency never held any public hearings or asked city officials before it began trucking in the dirt. Meanwhile, documents submitted by NJ Transit to the state Department of Environmental Protection asking permission to build the berms never mentioned noise reduction.

Weeks later, however, it was revealed that more than half the contaminated dirt had been brought to East Camden from other towns along the 34-mile rail line.

Notebooks NJ Transit's next step was to work to remove the 124,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil, a process the agency estimated would cost $4 million when it was put out to bid. So far, the price tag is $8 million, with $6 million of that being awarded in no-bid contracts.

Lenovo About 40,000 cubic yards have successfully been disposed of at a landfill in Staten Island, but the rest is causing a new round of trouble.

Hard Drive Pennsylvania landfills were to take the remainder, but that state's Department of Environmental Protection refused without more testing. A plan to cap a landfill in Winslow also fell through.

Travelstar Now, Salem County may accept about 35,000 cubic yards of dirt that NJ Transit says "meets residential criteria."

Gateway That claim is doubted by a former mayor of Winslow Township and a member of the state Pinelands Commission, Norm Tomasello, who wants further studies on the soil.

Laptop Parts "I would like to see an independent company test this dirt," he said. "You can't go by (NJ Transit's) engineering firm."

Software Based on the sheer number of deceptions the agency has tried to put over on the people of East Camden and beyond, we don't blame Tomasello for wondering.

Hard Drives NJ Transit fouled this plan up in too many ways to count. It's going to have to work long and hard to improve its reputation after this fiasco.
