Dally Record, Northwest N.J. Wednesday, July 13, 1983 3 a 1 1 Dioxin foymd at pool Kean opens pre-fab Jail MAURICE RIVER 448-bed pre fabricated prison that state officials believe is the largest facility of its type in the country was officially opened yesterday by Gov. Thomas H. Kean. The $12-million medium-security prison is on the grounds of the Southern State Correctional Facility in Leesburg and is expected to be filled to capacity by the end of July.

"With the opening of this facility, the backlog of state inmates in county jails will drop below 1,000 for the first time in more than a year," Kean said. Morris County Jail officials have complained in the past about state Inmates in their prison. Trapped worker freed after 5 hours BELLEVILLE (AP) A construction worker installing water pipes was trapped for more than five hours yesterday after the earthen and cement walls of the 15-foot-detp ditch he was digging collapsed around him, police said. The worker, identified as Anthony De Marco, 42, of Staten Island, N.Y., was brought to Clara Maass Medical Center here, where a spokesman said he did not appear to have serious injuries. Casinos report third best month ever ATLANTIC CITY (AP) New Jersey's casino industry, which had its third best month ever in June, reported a 20.6 percent gain in gaming revenues for the first half of 1983 over the same period a year ago, officials said yesterday.

Gamblers lost $148.6 million at the city's nine operating casinos during June, said Casino Control Commissioner Carl Zeitz, who released the figures. Zeitz also said that during the state fiscal year that ended June 30, 1983, New Jersey coffers received $128 million in Casino Revenue Fund taxes from the industry. Firms ready to renew offshore oil exploration ATLANTIC CITY (AP) Federal officials yesterday said the oil industry is ready to begin renewed exploration for oil and gas in deep waters off the mid-Atlantic coast, with Shell Oil Co. set to begin drilling this month. The Interior Department estimates there are 700 million barrels of oil and 3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas beneath the Baltimore Canyon region.

The trick now is to find it, industry officials sav. TRENTON (AP) Traces of dioxin that exceed safe levels have been found in cracks in a concrete apron around a public swimming pool in Newark, state Environmental Commissioner Robert E. Hughey announced yesterday. Hughey said the traces of dioxin tested out at 3 parts per billion, 1 part per billion and 0.5 parts I per billion. The federal Environmental Protection lists 1 part per billion as a health hazard.

The samples were taken at the Hayes Park pool in Newark's Ironbound section, Hughey said. The park on Waydell Street is about a half-mile from the site of a former Diamond Alkali Corp. herbicide plant, at which verified traces of dioxin ranging to 1,200 parts per billion have been found in soil. One reading at the site was 50,000 parts per billion. The pool has been closed to bathers since last Sunday because a water filtering system broke.

Hughey said. He added that no traces of dioxin were found in the pool water. I Dr. J. Richard Goldstein, the state health com-; missioner, played down any health hazard to bathers.

"The (federal) Centers for Disease Control say 1 part per billion can be hazardous but it must be ingested by a child every day for 70 years," Gold stein said. "Here, we have someone stepping on a crack that may or may not have dioxin and it being absorbed into the skin. "I would not have any concerns if my children were using that pool," Goldstein concluded. Dioxin is an unwanted byproduct in pesticides and insecticides and can cause severe ikin disorders. "I'll admit that I'm a little perplexed by the finding at the pool," Hughey told a news conference here.

He said that the latest round of testing that has moved farther away from the former Agent Orange producing plant showed no other sites with samples above the potential danger level. "We are uncertain why there are positive results on the pool deck, but it is possible that a herbicide was used over time to control weeds in the decking caused the readings," Hughey said. "The risk of swimming anywhere and getting an eye, ear, nose or throat infection no matter what the water quality is is greater than the risk of dioxin here," said Richard Dewling, the EPA's deputy regional administrator. Despite the findings, Hughey said the state will not expand sampling for dioxin beyond the half-mile range. "WW1 The Region Parsippany plans fee for commuter parking I.

PARSIPPANY Township residents will soon have to pay an annual fee of $30 to park at two bus commuter parking lots, but they will be able to park closer to the bus stop than out-of-towners. The plan, which also calls for non-residents to pay $75 for the yearly permit, was given preliminary approval by the town ship council at last night's meeting.
