Re: Spruce Run Creek dumping by Eastern Concrete
Anyone who lives close by should grab a water sample as close to the discharge point as possible and keep it refrigerated. This company has an NJPDES permit (PI #46545), which means they have to monitor their discharges and submit the data to the state. If they are in violation of the permit, they face fines if they do not correct it. I noticed that one of the parameters they must monitor is total suspended solids. Judging by the color of Spruce Run Creek, they are likely in violation of that parameter at least. Keeping a water sample for future evidence may help should any legal action be taken against the quarry.
If it's any consolation, I would doubt there are any chemical parameters contaminating the water, with the possible exception of a few naturally-occurring metals. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Hookmanski!

Re: Spruce Run Creek dumping by Eastern Concrete
A write up on this would be pretty fantastic. I know the DEP is involved, as well as Raritan Headwaters Association. I spoke to a quarry employee who admitted to me that they were the ones pumping in the waste water. She also told me they are cooperating fully with the DEP to get everything cleaned up.
I think a story on this could be a really powerful tool to make sure they are held accountable for their actions. I would like to see them donate money to local organizations to help with cleanup efforts, re-stocking, and future preservation of this beautiful creek. |

when I first read "dumping by Eastern Concrete" I imagined a pile of debris that could be removed and properly disposed of but the coating shown in the video seems like it would require an 'Exxon Valdez' style wash and scrub job. Last edited by tycomps; 08-05-2017 at 08:29 AM.. |
