Officials critique
EPAs Superfund site
remediation plan
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Several government and elected officials in the area have submitted letters to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regarding the health of Kirkwood Lake
in Voorhees.
The letters came as a result of
the EPA recently asking for public comments on a proposed plan
to remove lead and arsenic from a
site in Gibbsboro as the next
phase in the overall remediation
of
the
SherwinWilliams/Hilliards Creek Superfund site.
Mayor Michael Mignogna, environmental
attorney
Peter
Fontaine on behalf of Camden
County and Congressman Donald
Norcross all criticized EPA plans
to remediate the Superfund site
in stages, with Voorhees own
Kirkwood Lake scheduled last.
At a series of public meetings
over the past several years, EPA
officials have outlined their belief
that Kirkwood Lake, the furthest
downstream body of water in the
entire Superfund site, could be recontaminated if work isnt first
FREE
completed upstream.
However, local officials worry
Kirkwood Lake may not survive
into the early part of the next
decade when EPA officials have
estimated that remediation work
on the lake would begin.
The
SherwinWilliams/Hilliards Creek Superfund site is a result of a paint
plant operated by John Lucas &
Company and later SherwinWilliams from the mid-1800s
through 1977.
Through that time, the plant
improperly stored materials at
sites in Gibbsboro and discharged
materials into surrounding waterways that eventually flowed
downstream to Kirkwood Lake,
leaving it contaminated with lead
and arsenic.
In his letter to the EPA, Norcross described the EPAs plan for
remediating the Superfund site in
stages as insupportable and ignores the pressing need to remediate the entirety of the site at
once.
Kirkwood Lake continues to
be heavily silted, and the risk of

about the upcoming academic year.
In the next few weeks, well have
comprehensive back to school coverage, including a Q&A with school officials and a list of important dates to
keep you informed of all the changes
and excitement on the horizon for the
2016-2017 school year.
At The Sun, were all about community news, which, of course, includes

The Katz JCC and the Sari Isdaner Early Childhood Center
is positioned to be the leader in STEAM education for young children for all of Southern New Jersey, said Les Cohen, Katz JCC
Executive Director. Our partnerships with well-known and nationally recognized leaders in STEAM will allow us to offer an
experience for our children that no other school can. Science,
technology, engineering, art and math experience coupled with
values and education will create the best prepared generation for
college success and adult leadership positions.
This school year, curriculum at the Katz JCCs early childhood
center will benefit from a new initiative incorporating Destination
Imaginations STEAM & Literacy for Early Learning resource,
designed to prepare 3- to 6-year-olds with a jump start in literacy
and STEAM concepts, as well as engaging their interest in the
arts. The Katz JCC will also offer the Destination Imagination
Challenge Program for kindergarten through fifth-grade students.
Destination Imagination, Inc., whose headquarters is located
in Cherry Hill, has been working to provide a better future for
students worldwide for more than 30 years. Annually, the educational nonprofit develops seven different academic challenges
that blend science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) with the arts and social entrepreneurship. Each challenge
is designed to teach students the creative process and help them
gain the skills needed to thrive in the future workforceskills
such as creative thinking, collaboration and project management,
which are largely left out of the classroom.
Students in America are not receiving the type of education
that will prepare them for the global economy, said Dr. Chuck
Cadle, CEO of Destination Imagination, Inc. If our goal as educators is to develop a creatively skilled child, then differentiated
instruction that fosters imagination, emotional intensity, courage
and curiosity should be added to the curriculum. Destination
Imagination fosters these very qualities and by complementing
curriculum, it helps provides a well-rounded education for all
