Ridgewood NJ, Employees from the Village of Ridgewood’s Water Pollution Control Facility at 561 Prospect Street, Glen Rock cleaning up remnants of a grease spill that entered a tributary of the HoHoKus Brook on Friday afternoon, 09/05/2014.

Approximately 200 gallons of gases, oils, and watery fats spilled when a truck transfer line burst earlier in the week.  Some of the material escaped efforts to contain it, and drained into streams that feed the nearby Brook.

  1. From the lead photo it would appear they have a big rat problem down at the sewer plant too.

  2. I love the smell.
