WNJ Video: Historic footage of Kin-Buc Landfill burning
For someone looking for an archetype of dangerous New Jersey landfills, it would be hard to top the notorious Kin-Buc Landfill in Edison. Thousands of tons of chemicals were dumped back in the 1970's, in some cases while fire raged just a stone's throw away, sending thick black plumes of acrid toxic smoke into the air. Now a Superfund Site, Kin-Buc is a model Brownfields-to-Greenfields success story, thanks to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Edison Wetlands Association.
This video - Kin-Buc Burning - includes historic footage of the landfill as it was during its worst, before remediation and restoration turned this area into a grassy landfill along the Raritan River that is now used by birds like bald eagles, grasshopper sparrow, bobolink, and American kestrel. The video was produced and edited by Robert Spiegel of Edison Wetlands, whose long-time leadership on strengthening this cleanup has helped support the USEPA Superfund remedial work. Stay tuned until the end - when the landfill burns!
