And for decades they tried to get designation as an Indian Tribe so they could open a casino. The Dept. of the Interior denied their claim. Ford did dump all their sludge in those mountains and still, to this day, hasn't done a proper job in cleaning up their mess. And, as usual, the state and federal govt. acted like inefficient bureaucrats by long overruns and not properly overseeing the clean up.

As New Jersey's chief environmental official, Jackson toured the Upper Ringwood Superfund site and urged a faster cleanup of the community and contaminated parkland. Lead-based paint sludge was dumped there 40 years ago, which the Ramapough community blames for causing multiple cases of cancer, asthma and other illness. The community has sued Ford Motor Co. in what could be the stateâs largest civil environmental litigation. Ford has denied any wrongdoing.
The Superfund was just a government bailout for Ford. /sarc

The name of those mountains is misspelled. It should be RAMAPO. I don’t know why the authoress decided to add the “ugh,” other than that “Ugh!” might be an appropriate response to this article.
