SUMMARY:Enviro Issue on our Doorstep - Rolling Knolls Landfill Superfund
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event is closed. If you experience technical difficulties during the call email vthorpe@greatswamp.org\n  \nGSWA invites you to catch up on the progress being made by the Rolling Knolls Superfund Community Advisory Group (CAG). Join their next Zoom meeting for: \nThe introduction of the CAG’s Environmental consultant and a review of their documents (to date) \nU.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s upcoming field investigation \nWe have posted to our website several EPA documents pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request HERE  – we will continue to upload these documents as they become available. \n  \n  \nJoin the meeting and get informed!\nLogin information will be emailed to you after you register to attend.\n \n\nWhat is the Rolling Knolls Landfill? \nRolling Knolls landfill is an approximately 200-acre site located in the Green Village section of Chatham Township (35 Britten Rd.\, Green Village\, NJ) which was used as an unlined landfill from the early 1930s through 1968.  During its use\, it received municipal solid waste\, construction and demolition debris.  According to the Chatham Board of Health\, waste included: tree stumps\, scrap metal\, tires\, household refuse\, residential septage waste\, and industrial waste.  Herbicides and pesticides were used to control weeds\, insects and rodents. Oil was applied on facility roadways to control dust. Most of the site is privately held\, however\, approximately 30 acres are owned by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. \nLandfill operations contaminated the soil\, sediment\, surface water\, and groundwater. Contaminants consist of elevated levels of:  arsenic\, lead\, mercury\, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)\, pesticides\, phthalates\, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)\, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)\, semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs)\, freon compounds\, dioxin\, and furans. \n\nWhat is the Current Status? \nAfter many years of investigation\, the EPA determined that the site was a threat to people and the environment and the site was placed on the EPA’s National Priorities List for cleanup in 2003. What exactly does this mean? \nIn 1980\, after toxic waste dumps such as Love Canal received national attention and the public learned about the risks to human health and the environment caused by contamination\, Congress established the Comprehensive Environmental Response\, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA)\, more commonly known as Superfund. The Superfund law allows EPA to clean up contaminated sites\, including requiring responsible parties to perform the cleanup or pay for it. \nLearn more about the superfund process HERE. \n  \nWhat is GSWA’s Role? \nCommunity acceptance is where we\, the community\, play an important role. GSWA has established a Community Advisory Group (CAG) through the EPA so that everyone’s voices may be heard. \nA CAG is made up of representatives with diverse community interests\, including residents near the site and who may be impacted by the site\, local environmental groups\, local government officials\, local businesses\, and possibly responsible parties. The CAG purpose is to provide a public forum for the community to present and discuss their needs and concerns and to offer input to EPA. \nIn addition to forming a CAG\, we are working with EPA to obtain an independent professional to review and explain information to the community\, including the Feasibility Study and proposed cleanup plan\, through EPA’s Technical Assistance Services for Communities (TASC) program. The TASC program will provide a technical advisor to help us understand complex environmental information. This will be followed up with a more formal request for a Technical Assistance Grant (TAG). Click HERE to learn more about CAGs and Superfunds. \nSince the fight to stop the jetport over 50 years ago\, the residents of our local communities have fought to preserve and protect our environment. Let us continue that tradition and ensure that the Rolling Knolls superfund site is restored to protect human health and the environment through ecological revitalization which supports functioning and sustainable habitat.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Vernal Pool Exploration
DESCRIPTION:SORRY\, THIS HIKE IS SOLD OUT. \nWith temperatures rising\, the forest floor will be hopping with new life as frogs and other amphibians crowd into shallow puddles of water to breed and lay their eggs.

This annual nighttime Vernal Pool Exploration provides a fun\, outdoor learning experience for kids and adults alike. Discover the differences between a spring peeper\, a chorus frog\, and a wood frog. Find out how far an endangered spotted salamander will walk to find a mating pool. And\, learn how much everything we have come to appreciate about springtime depends on  some unassuming puddles of water on the forest floor. Warm clothing and waterproof footwear\, especially hiking boots\, are strongly recommended. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Perfect Your Flower Arrangement Skills on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED \nWe’ve all been there – we put a bunch of flowers in a vase imagining how great they will look. They don’t. We move them around and tilt our head. Nope.

Join Amy Seuberth\, General Manager of Back to Nature Home & Garden\, for a demo on how to arrange flowers in a pleasing way. She will also share tips on how to keep them healthier and looking more beautiful longer. The $40 fee covers your flowers\, a mason jar vase\, and expert tutorial. Seasonal flowers may include Seeded Eucalyptus\, Mini Green Hydrangea\, Thistle\, Stock\, Wax Flower\, and others. Registration closes April 18 @ 5 PM to allow time for ordering flowers so\, register today! See below for pick-up instructions. \n  \n\nPlease plan to pick up your flowers and vase at Back to Nature Home & Garden – 3055 Valley Rd\, Basking Ridge\, NJ / (908) 350-7506 on one of the following days: \nSaturday\, April 24 – 9am-5pm\nSunday\, April  25  – 10am-2pm \n

SUMMARY:Landscape Design: Creating Native Habitat
DESCRIPTION:Let’s talk about the evolution of a habitat garden. What does that mean? It’s the concept of creating a native habitat garden focusing on 3 main fundamentals: careful design\, correct installation\, and ongoing maintenance. Mike Devos of Indigenous Ingenuities (and the lead of the recent wetlands restoration at our Conservation Management Area) will take us through it all. Learn how native plants can be incorporated into all types of design from formal gardens to naturalized plantings\, how they are installed in ecologically sensitive ways\, and how to care for them moving forward. This program will take place on Zoom and in person for a maximum of 9 attendees (first come first serve.)
