  • i lived seven miles away from here and drank city water, which this dump leaks into, for almost 18 years. glad I'm not glowing!! The township told us later on that toxic waste from the dump was being leaked into the city's water supply.
  • I moved to an apartment along Peter Cheeseman road back in 1981 and my window faced in the direction of the GEMS landfill. Since I was new to the area I had no idea what the hill was that I saw from my fourth floor apartment. So one Sunday afternoon I decided to hike out to this "mountain" from the rear of the CYO parking lot. It was way too swampy so I gave up. Later I decided to explore the are by car and came across the entrance of the landfill. At that moment I realized that this was the "mountain" I saw from apartment window. Story of my life.
