PSE&G’s decision to replace soil soaked with a wood preservative, which leaked from their new, controversial 65-foot utility poles, has drawn the ire of some residents and added to a growing list of qualms with the utility’s procedures.
The utility, however, contends that it was attempting to address residents’ concerns.
For Hope Street resident Alyssa Steinberger, the utility appeared to be acting in its own interest when it sent workers to remove contaminated soil from around the poles on Sept. 19.
“If this is PSE&G’s idea of a hazardous spill clean-up, I can’t wait for them to show up with their canisters of Glade Air Freshener to address the air contaminant problem,” Steinberger said last week, noting that “none of us [on Spring Avenue and Hope Street] ever complained about the ‘look’ of it.”

Sometimes you just can’t make certain people happy.
Imagine the NERVE of PSE&G replacing dirty soil with clean soil.
They’ve already surveyed and put place markers in for the poles along Ridgewood Ave. They’ve dug the holes for them in Paramus.
