You should give a listen; it is short and quite balanced. Also, a good history lesson.
This was well done summary of the Upper Ringwood / Ford dumping situation and the struggles of the people living at and dealing with the aftermath. It mentioned a number of key media focal points including the Bergen Record five part investigative report that helped to reinstate the site as Superfund site and the HBO documentary Mann v. Ford that covers the Ramapo Indian's issues and fight.
The Bergen Record Toxic Legacy series and HBO documentary are must read / see for more detailed information on the history and overall situation.

Long term, the concern of chemicals such as 1,4-dioxane and others leaching into ground water, wells and into the Wanaque reservoir will only be a matter of time as capping will not address the untold tons of paint sludge and chemicals dumped into the mines shafts that will never be excavated. Test wells have been drilled around the site and supposedly checked regularly.
