Ridgewood NJ, Perhaps a reminder ,New Jersey is sometimes referred to as the “Soprano State” due to its association with the popular television series “The Sopranos.” The show, created by David Chase, aired on HBO from 1999 to 2007 and centered around the life of mob boss Tony Soprano, played by James Gandolfini, and his family.
The idea of “clean fill ” in New Jersey has long been regarded as an oxymoron and illegal dumping has been a way of life .
Dumping and dirty land fill have been long time issues at the Schedler property.
Now the Village of Ridgewood has received notice from the NJ DEP that contamination has been found at Schedler Property.
In June of 2019 residents voiced concerns over Dumping at Schedler and at the time Deputy Mayor Knudsen posted on Facebook , “ Last year we worked to find FREE clean fill to create a berm along route 17 to create a visual barrier from the highway. …A site visit was conducted yesterday – with Susan Knudsen, Mike Sedon, Chris R, and Jovan M. The only trees removed were those in the area of the planned berm and only those necessary to make space for the clean soil.
This is really an exciting opportunity to significantly improve the quality of life for area residents by shielding the WSRR corridor from the detriments of Route 17.”
But on May 29th of 2024 the NJ Department of Environmental Protection shot that down, sending the Village a HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE DISCHARGE NOTIFICATION:

is it my imagination or is the “Village Engineer” involved in one big FCK UP after another?
So very true. He needs to go.it’s one thing after another. The bottom line is the village put employees at risk of contamination poisoning. And they are liable.
