Record, Northwest N.J., Sunday, August 10, 1980 pFirm Cooperating In Pollution Probe By LAURIE PETERSEN Staff Writer PARSIPPANY The company suspected of polluting ground water in Lake Intervale will cooper-late "100 percent" with all requests by governmental agencies, the plant manager said on Friday. I' Bernard Kipperman, plant manager at Norda Inc. on Fanny Road here, said the essential oils manufacturer intends to comply fully with a request from the state Department of Environmental Protection for the installation of ground water monitoring wells at the plant site. 1 Joseph Mikulka, regional manager for the state's Division of Water Resources, advised Norda in a letter sent last week that it has 30 days to begin construction of the wells. State officials expect to link benzene and toluene contamination in the downstream recreational lake to Norda.

velop a plan to manage and dispose of the toxic materials found at the site. Contractors uncovered the polluted ground water last spring when they reached a level about .20 feet deep. Laboratory tests conducted by the association showed the presence of the cancer-causing benzene and another organic solvent, toluene. More extensive test results are not yet back from a private laboratory. Meanwhile, the council last week denied a request by Mayor John T.

Fahy to revoke the association's soil removal permit so that some Interim safety measures such as a fence installation and 24-hour guard could be mandated. The council said Fahy should be able to use an executive order to achieve the same thing. Rescinding the permit could further complicate matters, they argued, if the state allows the association to The wells are also designed to measure the extent of ground water pollution in the area, officials said. "There has to be a meeting to outline the details with them (the state) first," Kipperman said. "You can be assured that we will go out 100 percent to cooperate with any requests the agency has made." Kipperman declined to comment on the contents of underground storage tanks at the Norda complex.

He said the company is preparing a report for the appropriate regulatory agency and will release the Information in that manner. The state's Bureau of Flood Plain Management halted dredging at Lake Intervale last month by denying a stream encroachment permit to the Lake Intervale Management Association. The association was also ordered to de continue some work on the 9-month-old project. Township Engineer Daniel Biondo told the council that the association greatly exceeded the amount of soil it had received permission to remove in January 1979. While qualifying his comments -as not meant in a "derogatory sense," Biondo said "the planning board wanted to cooperate with the people and didn't request the usual information for the plan because it is a non-profit organization and they accepted the plan without a great degree of interrogation." Councilman Norbert Socolowski said it did not seem fair to penalize the association now because the situation was "worse months ago but the township was not following up." Police Accident Being Investigated By DIANA KURYLKO Staff Writer MORRIS PLAINS The borough council has hired a special prosecutor to determine whether charges will be filed against a police officer who was involved in car accident while on duty.

Donald Belsole, a Morristown attorney, will investigate a June 23 accident to determine whether Police Chief James Ketch should level charges against 31-year-old Patrolman Thomas Vigilante, a local resident. Vigilante totaled a 1980 police car at 10: 46 a.m. on Hanover Avenue in Parsippany. According to an accident reported filed by Parsippany police, Vigilante, responding on an emergency call, was driving east, approached a curve and apparently applied his brakes and hit a pickup truck driven by Harry Onuskonych, 20, of South Mt. View Long Valley.

Both vehicles were destroyed and Vigilante and Onuskonych were taken to Morristown Memorial Hospital, treated for cuts and bruises and released. Borough council members and the police chief said they didn't want to comment on the incident since no formal charges have been filed. It is also unknown what charges would be made and where Vigilante was heading at the time of the accident. According to Onuskonych, the borough's insurance carrier paid him $2,099 for his 1973 vehicle, doctor bills and two weeks salary for the time he was out of work because of the accident. Onuskonych said he left his job at the Morris County Shade Tree Commission early that day because he was sick.

He said Vigilante lost control at the curve and the front of the police car hit his truck on the driver's side. Onuskonych could not estimate how fast the police car was traveling. Should Ketch file disciplinary charges against Vigilante, the borough council would hold a hearing and act on the evidence as presented by Belsole, said Councilman Howard Leach. The special prosecutor was selected because a police officer was involved, Leach said. Councilman Ted Benning said he did not know the circumstances of the case, or why the incident was not handled internally in the police department.

Vigilante was away on vacation and could not be reached. The borough received $4,960 from its insurance company for the police car, which it kept to use for spare parts.
