The Herald-News, Friday, March 11, 1983 Serving North Jersey Well project holds key to expansion in FairfielB thin films," said Malcolm Pirnie of Paramus, By Herald-Newt Cdi-respondent I I I FAIRFIELD Construction of a purification system for the township's most productive municipal well should begin this spring. Reactivating well No.7, located on Green Brook Road at Passaic Avenue, is expected to control the expansion of groundwater in a southeastern section of the township. The well, which has a production capacity of 400 gallons per minute, and another behind the municipal building were closed by the state Department of Environmental Protection in 1981 and 30 private wells were shut down last winter because volatile organic chemicals were found in their groundwater supply. A plume of hazardous chemicals in the groundwater is moving from an industrial area of the section toward the Passaic River. Putting well No.

7 in operation will draw the plume toward it instead and reduce the spread of contamination. 'THE DEP has approved the construction of a packed column aeration tower that will filter the contaminants out of the water," said township engineer Rocco Palmier. "The only decision left on design is the use of plastic bubbles or wire mesh in the column. We plan to do a lot of the piping and other work in house to reduce costs." "The packed column causes water to fall through the air and break into small drops or, an engineering consultant to the township. "In countercurrent packed columns, packing materials are used which provide high volumes and high surface area.

This design results in continuous and thorough contact of the water with the air and minimizes the thickness of the water layer on the packing, thus promoting efficient mass transfer of the volatile chemicals from the water to the air." In a report on the condition of the well and possible solutions, the consultant noted that "in the absence of federal regulations the state DEP is utilizing a maximum level of 100 micrograms per liter as a guideline for total volatile chemicals in the state's drinking waters." The township spent approximately $500,000 hooking private well owners into its system last year due to contamination, and the council must adopt a $200,000 bond ordinance to finance the aeration project. NINE VOLATILE chemicals were found in well No. 7 water. Tricholroethylene at 157 micrograms per liter was the most prevelant contaminant and and at 7 micrograms per liter were the least preveyant Unacceptable levels of tetrachloroethylene, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride were also found in the water.

"People are begging for the opportunity for recreational activi ty, and for someone to do something as destructive as this is sick," city Councilman Henry Martinez said of the damage inflicted at the Ironbound Recreation Center. "I think it's a sick and cowardly act to damage what little we actually About 300 children in several youth hockey leagues used the rink, but they will have to finish their seasons elsewhere in the wake of the damage that police say was done sometime between 10 p.m.

Staff Writer CLIFTON Police Chief Edward Kredatus Thursday approved a plan proposed by the director of the Youth Service Bureau to resume the search for a 15-year-old city youth missing since the end of January. Kredatus said his support was expressed recently to Detective Capt. Lambert Atsma of the youth bureau. It was Atsma who authored a plan police will employ next month in an attempt to learn the fate of Ricky Corneilson of Goss Place.

Corneilson, who suffers from an epileptic condition and requires 10 pills a day of medication, vanished Jan. 31 from Dudiak Park in the Garret Mountain Reservation. According to Atsma, civil defense and park police from Passaic County, ski patrols from Vernon Valley-Great Gorge, the National Guard and scuba divers from the Passaic County Sheriffs Department are included in the search plans. THE SEARCH will be an intensive and total effort. Every inch of the mountain will be checked," Kredatus declared, adding he also plans to utilize municipal civil defense auxiliary police personnel and probably no civilians in the sweeping search.

Atsma's goal is to start the search the first week in April. However, Kredatus said that weather conditions and the potential of new developments surfacing in the case could alter the scheduled starting date. Police said that searchers plan to concentrate 6n the Great Notch Reservoir in West Pater-son and the 400-aere reservation. Corneilson is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs about 155 pounds. He was wearing a blue and beige jacket, beige corduroy trousers and brown shoes.

nmrr, Glenfield overruns face budget ax SO 95 a MM (Continued from Page B-1) JSoechlin criticized the school board for going ahead with such projects as a planetarium after bids for Glenfield came in $1 million over the authorized amount She noted the public had been ted to believe work on the plane--tarium would go ahead only if the school board received outside funding for it "THE BOARD had the same assumption," Lack said. But Koechlin said she sees a professional theater being built at the school, adding that it seemed tragic to fund a theater and cut an elevator for the After Mochary learned that the foundation for the planetarium was in the original specification for- Glenfield, Fitzgerald added including gym bleachers, a dividing curtain and various items of furniture. IN THE END, the mayor con-'' ceded that what the board of school estimate says "doesn't mean that much" since it appears the school board has contractual obligations to go ahead. But Koechlin persisted that the school board should have returned to the board of school estimate when costs were exceeded on Glenfield. "Somebody has to pay for it.

Lack said all the Glenfield items could be removed from the budget, reducing the total 26-tax point increase by eight points, and bonding the improvements. By issuing bond anticipation notes for the Glenfield project, Lack said the permanent bonding, which could actually double the cost if done over a 15-year period, can be eliminated if the school board sells some property such as the Southwest School. No decision on the school budget was reached at the meeting. The board of school estimate will hold a public hearing on the budget next Wednesday at the Hillside School and approve a budget figure the following day. and that's my problem," Koechlin said, adding that the council this week had to reduce the municipal capital outlay requests by 49 percent.

For another example, Mochary cited a request for $20,000 to finish an inner courtyard at Glenfield, saying something like that puts her in a dilemma since the school board can go ahead and pay for it should the board cut it by noting doing things like athletic field repairs or oil burner improvements. "We'll take that under advisement," Fitzgerald responded, although earlier she said Glenfield is the board's top priority in the budget. s- Jr (H.
