Vromans Nose With Contours Added

Terrain  Vromans Nose With Contours Added

I've been fascinated by the Vromans Nose LiDAR and wanted a more detailed topographic layout with contours for elevation. So this is what I ended up producing.

Another big change ahead for me 🏑

My landlord called me and said is retiring and sold my apartment building after 16 Β½ years of me living here. Maybe this is a sign to move on from my dumpy apartment in the suburbs, maybe it’s time to buy land and move back out to the country. Maybe I can stay or maybe I can find a place closer to work.

Who knows how much more time I have here. Maybe it will be just a reasonable bump in rent with the new owner or maybe I’ll have to leave. It wasn’t call I was expecting tonight but it’s been a good run here and while my apartment hasn’t been wonderful – it’s been inexpensive and convenient. Now that I work in the suburbs, maybe it’s time to move on, to a different livestyle and way of living.

It’s too soon to know immediately but change is in the air like it or not for my life. As much as I wish all to remain the same, I’ve watched as the neighborhood around me has gentrified and my apartment decayed as my landlord grayed, and knew that day would come when tough decisions came down. It will be a change, probably requiring an adjustment to my budget but I have options. I knew I couldn’t live here forever.

Dewey Loefell Landfill

The Dewey Loeffel Landfill Superfund site is located in Rensselaer County, New York. In the 1950s and 1960s, site was used as a disposal facility for more than 46,000 tons of industrial hazardous wastes, including solvents, waste oils, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), scrap materials, sludges and solids.

The Dewey Loeffel Landfill Site includes the inactive hazardous waste disposal area, a/k/a the landfill, and all areas to which contamination has migrated including groundwater, soil, sediment and surface water bodies. The approximately 19-acre waste disposal area is located four miles northeast of the Village of Nassau, within a low-lying area between two wooded hills. Formerly, the site was used as a dump for hazardous waste generated by several companies including General Electric (GE), Bendix Corporation (now Honeywell) and Schenectady Chemicals (now SI Group). The waste materials were dumped into a lagoon area, oil pit and drum burial area.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has estimated that between 1952 and 1968 a total of 46,320 tons of waste materials were disposed at the landfill. The waste materials included industrial solvents, waste oils, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), scrap materials, sludges and solids.
