<div id="ygrps-yiv-654170282">the news we have long been expecting<br/>

<br/>
for the general location of this proposed bp liquid<br/>
natural gas tanker terminal<br/>

<br/>
so the pierhead would presumably reach about the<br/>
position shown by the red cursor cross here<br/>

<br/>
& thus if a tanker blew while unloading there &<br/>
necessarily fried everything within a mile or more<br/>
it would easily obliterate not only the adjacent<br/>
monsanto chemical plant & the denjpa tripoint location<br/>
<br/>
at least above the water line <br/>
but also the sunoco marcus hook refinery that<br/>
straddles the depa state line on the far side of the<br/>
river<br/>
which would in turn fry everything within another mile<br/>
or more<br/>
etc <br/>
etc<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the first attachment shows the 1934 denj boundary<br/>
monument number 1 indicated on the topo <br/>
& which was the leading court ordered result of the<br/>
previous denj supreme court case<br/>

<br/>
it marks indirectly at a distance of about 2000 feet<br/>
the new jersey end of the new castle arc<br/>
which falls actually at the low tide line <br/>
as shown on the topo about halfway from there to<br/>
denjpa<br/>
<br/>
for this map is in error insofar as the denj state<br/>
line actually follows the low tide line everywhere<br/>
within the 12mile circle<br/>
<br/>
the marker is situated on the fenced & gated & closely<br/>
restricted grounds of the monsanto plant & chemical<br/>
dump<br/>
just upriver from & actually right next door to the bp<br/>
facility<br/>
from which i was able to sneak in circa 1998 thru a<br/>
rusty old back track railroad gate that someone forgot<br/>
to lock<br/>
<br/>
the second pic is a view from about the same location<br/>
facing the denjpa tripoint at midriver <br/>
for a class d peek <br/>
& the sunoco refinery beyond it <br/>
but unimpeded now by the chain link fence in the first<br/>
pic <br/>
& indeed with the tripoint deliberately centered &<br/>
even teed up there for your viewing pleasure upon the<br/>
hazmat yellow stack pipe i also found near the arc<br/>
line just above the rock dike <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the third & fourth pic attachments show the<br/>
corresponding 1892 witness rock on the other side of<br/>
the river situated directly upon the depa arc just<br/>
above the bulkhead in the sunoco refinery<br/>
tho it is curiously not shown on the topo<br/>
<br/>
& this is the right rock ok but they have the year<br/>
wrong<br/>

<br/>
there i finessed a night visit after being denied<br/>
entry & sneaking in anyway & then appealing to the<br/>
guard who caught me at the monument <br/>
to let me take his picture illuminating it for me<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the 5th pic shows an almost equally sneaky but far<br/>
more distant class d view of the tripoint location as<br/>
well as the sunoco refinery to its right & the<br/>
monsanto & bp facilities to its left<br/>
<br/>
we are now slightly beyond the most probable<br/>
incineration range<br/>
<br/>
it was purloined from the slow lane at road speed with<br/>
someone on my rear bumper  <br/>
on the chester aka us322 bridge a couple of miles<br/>
above there<br/>
as you can also see by panning nw up the river on the<br/>
topo<br/>
keeping my other hand on the steering wheel of course<br/>
