WHAT WALL - A Felony and the Cover-up
A wall that exists on no site plan or the two criminally false Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans certified only Sussex County's Soil Conservation District's corrupt chairman Mr. Clifford Lundin who groaned at my appeal of the first fraudulant SESCP he certified when after I read the letter written by Mr. and Mrs. Pawar of 12 East Drive, Stanhope, N.J. I confirmed that the corrupt Borough Engineer John Cilo Jr. admitted the wall did NOT met code. Mr. Lundin was the former Mayor of Hopatcong and his appointed judge and Police convicted me on false charges and the corrupt Judge even refused to allow me to call Mrs. Pawar and Mrs. Cagggiano who co-signed the letter we jointly wrote to the New Jersey Attorney General for an investigation which had letters from Senator Littell, Assemblyman Gregg, Assemblywoman McHose attached requesting an investigation that what blocked by the criminals in the Department of Criminal Justice; namely, AAG Louise Lester and Edgar Hess. The criminally false SESCP was never approved by Stanhope's Land Use Board as the corrupt developer E.N.F. Development Co. LLC's Franklin Dawalt Jr. never submitted a fee and the corrupt Town Administrator Teri Massood admitted to me in a meeting she never gave the false SESCP to the Land Use Board. I did wave the false plan in the faces of the corrupt Land Use Board chairman Mike Vance and its corrupt Land Use Board attorney Roger Thomas who both refused to admit they ever saw it. Mr. Vance has graduated to become a criminal on Stanhope's corrupt Governing Body, our Town Council, and Mr. Roger Thomas continues to be our corrupt Land Use Board attorney with another corrupt Land Use Board chairman. SCSCD's manager Winifred Straub had me convicted 3 times in Stillwater as its corrupt Judge Mulhern also refused to allow me to present any witnesses and when Mrs. Pawar stood up to complain, the corrupt Judge Mulhern ordered her to sit down. Judge Mulhern is also Stanhope's Judge and the corrupt Borough Attorney Richard Stein is also our corrupt Municipal Prosecutor. Our corrupt Chief of Police is Mr. Pittenger. As you can guess we have corruption for decades as the Department of Community Affairs issued white wash reports on the Construction Code Official and ignored letters from all 14 surrounding property owners and over 3,000 pages of evidence in a four year time period. The corrupt Stanhope officials continued to operate even after the Department of Community Affairs Government Record Council finding that the Town Administrator and Borough Attorney letters banning me from Stanhope under threat of criminal prosecution were illegal and that the Borough of Stanhope willfully violated State laws eighteen times by its willfull denial of my OPRA rights in seeking to get evidence from Stanhope on May 11, 2006. This writing is on Jul 6, 2006 and even after the DCA was sent a letter that confirmed the Mr. Cilo, Ms. Doyle and Mr. Keller have NO professional services contracts but continue to get paid, the corrupt Stanhope officials just continue to operate. It's code enforcement official, Ms. Arlene Fisher has a letter written May 8, 2006 that the development on Oak Drive was illegal and that E.N.F. Development Co. LLC. is operating illegally on Block 10903 Lots 13,14 and 15 which is not even his property, that a 911 report was made and refused an appointment with me today and for the last three weeks. She buried my report I made in Jul 2002 about the shade trees being destroyed and is a participant with the others having been notified in writing by the Criminal John Cilo himself that walls were going to be built AFTER the certificate of occupancy was issued without conditions on Block 10902 Lot 12 and that the trees would be replaced which of course they never were but are shown even on the criminally false SESCPS certified ONLY by the corrupt officials at Sussex County Soil Conservation District which of course do NOT show the two walls.

Four Large Shade Trees are plotted to be preserved on the site plan and three disappear on the two false SESCPs and all four trees disappear, a wetland permit is violated as it's buried before SCSCD was made aware by me of the project's existence a two lot minor sub-division. SCSCD certified the first false SESCP for only Lot 10 eleven months AFTER the start of the illegal development and three months AFTER the illegal certificate of occupancy was issued by the corrupt Stanhope Construction Code Official Thomas Pershouse in violation of the deed requirements and the slopes as the deck was built on the wrong side of the house, and the corrupt Borough Engineer John Cilo Jr. then with the full knowledge of the criminals in control of Stanhope government; the Mayor, Governing Body, Town Administrator directed the developer AFTER he sold the property on Jul 12, 2002 to emplace a lower wall in the restricted deed conservation area between Jul 29, 2002 and Aug 14, 2002. The Director of Consumer Affairs Ms. Kimberly Ricketts placed all four professional engineers and the professional planner under investigation and advised the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Department of Criminal Justice and the Director of Agriculture Monique Purcell.

I recommended after the Sussex County Prosecutor's Office recused itself on Jun 14, 2006 that the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. investigate the Newark's U.S. Attorney's Office chief of the Special Prosecutions Department Mr. James Nobile, the Department of Criminal Justice, Office of Government Integrity, the Secretary of Agriculture Mr. Charles Kurpures, the Director of Agriculture Ms. Monique Purcell, the executive secretary of the State Soil Conservation Committee Mr. James Sadley, Sussex County Soil Conservation District's Board of Supervisors, chairman Mr. Lundin, manager Ms. Straub, SCSCD professional engineer Mr. Sedivy (already under investigation by the Board of Engineers), the Borough of Stanhope and others.


At the Sep 24, 2002 Town Council meeting, Mr. Heimberg questioned the wall. “Mr. Stein (the Borough Attorney) stated if there is a significant change, then the Engineer has no authority to approve that and has to advise the applicant he has go back to the Board to get approval for the change, which requires notice and a public hearing.” There was no variance request by E.N.F. Development Co. LLC or Mr. and Mrs. Lamicella who owned the property on Jul 12, 2002 to install a lower wall in the non-disturbance zone, conservation zone and drainage easement during Jul 29, 2002 to Aug 15, 2002. Nor was there any design submitted as required by the Uniform Construction Code TB-88-6(2) Retaining walls and Stanhope Land Development Chapter 100-58C. Mr. Caggiano distributed a forty one (41) exhibit presentation. In exhibit 30, “Copy of Aug 15, 2002 letter from structural engineer Peter Schneider to Frank Dawalt. Letter reports that his inspection of the retaining wall found it “…has been constructed in a proper workmanlike manner and meets all the requirements of the borough of Stanhope regulations for property development’. Mr. Caggiano stated Mr. Schneider only reviewed part of the wall because he only covered the part that had two walls. Mr. Caggiano stated Mr. Schneider should have asked how the wall got built and he should have asked for the design.” (No walls should exist per the site plan and the lower wall would require a variance it could not obtain for it is in the restricted deed area which is required drainage to protect the adjacent Valley Drive properties.) ... Mr. Caggiano alleged the State’s procedures for the rules and regulations regarding soil conservation were not followed by the builder. He further alleged that; therefore, the entire construction of the home is illegal at 6 Oak Drive. Mr. Caggiano stated he believes there were criminal actions which the Borough of Stanhope should be investigating. Mayor McNeilly stated they would take it under advisement.

No Stanhope approved and SCSCD certified Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for either Lot 10 or Lot 12 or as required for the minor sub-division project Block 10902 Lots 10 and Lot 12 has ever existed.

All the SESCPs certified by SCSCD are blatantly false, for a single home not under its jurisdiction and none of the SCSCD's false SESCPs were ever approved by the municipality of Stanhope. SCSCD did not certify its initial false SESCP for Block 10902 Lot 10 until eleven months after the start of the illegal development and the developer buried the wetland more then six months before the false certified SESCP was certified by SCSCD's chairman Mr. Lundin on Oct 8, 2002. This false SESCP was never submitted with a complete application to the Land Use Board so it could be rejected.

Both certificates of occupancy were issued in violation of State law and municipal laws.

On Oct 22, 2002, Mr. and Mrs. Heimberg of 1 Valley Road wrote a memorandum entitled The Dawalt Development Tragedy. The Board of Adjustment rejected the original proposal (3 house plan) and Mr. Dawalt submitted an alternative plan (2 house minor sub-division). I was satisfied that the man, Mr. Dawalt, was dealing in good faith and that his actions would be monitored by the building inspectors and officials of Stanhope. To my dismay both assumptions were far from correct. Many of the trees that were to be saved were ripped out of the ground. (All four shade trees in the open area were destroyed). Also she (my wife) feels that the inspection process was non-existent and more like a blank check to the builder to do what he wants. I am very nervous that the man will build a rock wall behind my house as he did to my neighbors at 3 and 5 Valley Road. The wall and the dirt in the wall came loose and wound up in their yards. We need an unbiased observer to investigate all the issues since this project was started.


On Oct 29, 2002 at the public Stanhope Town Council meeting, the minutes’ record is provided herein regarding two walls that were illegally constructed on Block 10902 Lots 10 and 12. Neither is shown on the fictitious SESCP with the SH#44 application. A single 8’ high wall existed when the certificate of occupancy was issued in violation of the State Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act (SESCA) and Stanhope Code 100-119 for Stanhope Block 10902 Lot 12 on Jul 10, 2002. During Jul 29, 2002 to Aug 15, 2002 the second lower wall not shown on the fictitious SESCP was built in the non-disturbance, drainage easement, conservation and buffer zone and shows the knowledge and complicity of the Mayor and Town Council.

Mr. Caggiano stated the deed for 6 Oak Drive was signed on Jul 12, 2002 and he asked how the Borough Engineer could direct the (prior) builder (E.N.F. Development Co. LLC) to put the second (lower) wall in after the deed was signed. Mr. Caggiano contended that two applications were required to put up the second wall which traversed both properties (2 and 6 Oak Drive). The Mayor McNeilly stated he completed his review of this project and the Borough of stands behind its position on how this project is being handled. The Mayor suggested that if Mr. Caggiano disagreed, he needs to take it to another level”.

You should not ask for what you don't want to occur.

I have gone to our Governor and went to the Department of Consumer Affairs who immediately after I appeared at an investigory inquiry against John Cilo Jr. undertook concurrent investigations against E.N.F. Development's two professional engineers and the professional planner and the State's Sussex County Soil Conservation District's professional engineer for preparing false memorandum, and a blatantly false Soil Erosion Sediment Control Plan or approving it.

The Board of Engineer's had been investigating Stanhope's corrupt Borough Engineer John Cilo for more then 1 year and expanded its investigation against the corrupt Stanhope Borough Engineer with the complaints filed by Mr. and Mrs. Pawar as they were witnesses to Mr. Cilo's lies, admission of guilt and acknowledgement that the wall did not meet code and was not on the site plan.

Mr. Cilo's lawyer threatened to sue Mr. and Mrs. Pawar and Mr. Caggiano if we did not rescind our complaints against Mr. Cilo and we all reported Mr. Powers to the authority's for criminal prosecution of threatening three state witnesses in an on-going investigation. After I faxed Mr. Powers fourty pages of evidence, he called up Mr. Caggiano and said "Enough" and he went away not to bother us again.

On Nov 1, 2002, Mr. Caggiano appealed the SCSCD certification of only Lot 10 to the executive secretary Mr. Sadley, State Soil Conservation Committee that the development, issuance of certificate of occupancy and SESCP for a single home, Lot 10 violated the SESCA. Eight months later after 100 emails, on Jun 13, 2003 Mr. Sadley upheld Mr. Caggiano’s appeal of SCSCD certification of the SESCP submitted with SH#44 and found the development was undertaken in violation of the SESCA, the issuance of a certificate of occupancy was issued in violation of the SESCA and the SESCP for a single home was invalid and must the SESCP must be for the project, the minor subdivision on Block 10902 Lots 10 and 12. A detailed inspection report of off-site impacts was conducted by Mr. Caggiano is provided to Mr. Sadley and which Mr. Sadley ignored in his false report to Ms. Lisa Jackson of the DEP of no off-site impacts.

When I requested the Borough of Stanhope via an OPRA request to obtain the URGENT FAX that I sent the Borough Engineer and Stanhope responded I had to provide the exact date it direction by the Borough Attorney Mr. Stein to the OPRA Custodian was disingenious to say the least as any resonable search of the Borough Engineer's records would instantly find the fax. OPRA Request Thomas Caggiano 10 East Drive, Stanhope, NJ 07874
Feb 9, 2006 OPRA request TJC1.16

1. Provide a copy of a fax sent from Thomas Caggiano to John Cilo Jr. Associates Borough Engineer in Jul 2002 subject: Urgent Safety concerning the rear single 8 ft tall wall in the rear of Block 10902 Lot 12 that was falling apart.

I then submitted another OPRA request with dates from Jul 12 to Jul 30 and strangely the document that the Borough of Stanhope doesn't want the world to see is below.

The fax to Mr. Cilo also included photos with Mr. and Mrs. Pawar in the photographs with long pointers, pointing right to the failure mechanisms and blew-out the lower walls where the maximum pressure occurs and shows the walls were built with toe-out rather then toe-in which made the collapse even worse as the forces were not directed into the ground but directed to slide out the lower rocks.

It was built with too much earth between the rocks so when it got wet there was no coefficient of friction as the mud lost its cohesion and rocks fell out of the wall and was not built with 2 over 1 construction so the lateral forces could not be dissipated correctly and had a full running joint.

Every failure mechanism existed in a wall that was 8' tall violated Stanhope's municipal code chapter 100 and was a nusiance to adjacent property and the inhabitants.

As you will also note in my fax to the corrupt Borough Engineer Mr. John Cilo Jr., I stated there would be NO variance allowed.

A protective 18 ft barrier is noted in the property deeds and shown with a thick black line on the site plan. Under the sponsorship and knowledge of the Mayor, Town Council, Town Administrator, Borough Attorney, Construction Code Official, Borough Engineer without any permits or any notice to adjacent property owners another lower wall was placed in the conservation area AFTER every property owner surrounding the site stated to the Town Council comply with site plan.

The Borough of Stanhope invaded Mr. Lamicella's property after an illegal full certificate of occupancy without conditions was issued by E.N.F. Development Co. LLC as no as-built drawings were ever prepared and approved again as required by the deed.

No municipality approved and Sussex County Soil Conservation certified Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan existed or has ever existed. Per the Uniform Construction Code the wall construction is a felony punishable by 1 year in jail.

As can be seen in the minutes of my Appeal to Sussex County Soil Conservation District and in the newspaper article on the web site the Department of Agriculture and Town Council were notified about the wall(s). None of the false Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans submitted by E.N.F. Development Co. LLC, prepared by PE Wendell Inhoffer and PP Judith Keith and approved by Sussex County's Soil Conservation District's professional engineer Joesph Sedivy show the 150 ft long wall up to 8 ft high with another lower wall in the non-distrubance area.

Mr. Pershouse the Stanhope Construction Code Official, Ms. Teri Massood the Stanhope Town Administrator and Mr. Stein the Stanhope Borough Attorney/Municipal Prosecutor were originally informed by Mr. Cilo on Jan 8, 2002 to stop construction immediately as the were adverse impacts to the non-disturbance zone, he had no Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (Mr. Cilo signed one for the Borough of Stanhope for the Minor Sub-division Block 10902 Lot 10 and 12 which was shown on the site plan but was incompetently prepared by PE Wendell Inhoffer and PP Judith Keith as it did not comply with Stanhope Chapter 100 requirements or those of the State Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act), that stabilized access with required wheel clearing on Lots 10 and 12 were not built as required (and never were as sediment was tracked onto Oak Drive for over 8 months as the site was drastically overfilled). A municipality approved and SCSCD certified SESCP never existed for the project which was required prior to undertaking development and issuing each of the certificates of occupancy. As Mr. Pershouse reviewed the site plan during the performance of his duties, he saw it was also a Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan approved by Stanhope and not also by the State as required by Stanhope's Land Development code which he is familiar with as he is a voting member of the Land Use Board and votes on acceptance or rejection of SESCP.

At Mr. Caggiano's request the Department of Community Affairs sent investigators to the development and none of the inspectors noticed the rear deck of 6 Oak Drive was built on the wrong side of the house per the site plan. In addition, Mr. Maher visited my house for 1 hour essentially never leaving my small foyer while 4 feet of evidence in folders was on my dining room table in the next room. Mr. Maher held the site plan and the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan signed by Mr.Cilo in his hands. Thereafter, Mr. Maher requested Mr. Cilo, Mr. Perhouse and Ms. Winifred Straub the manager of the Sussex County Soil Conservation District if a Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan was needed for the project and all three provided him false information. In Mr. Maher's report he also noted the lower wall was emplaced AFTER the house on 6 Oak Drive was occupied. The Town Council and Mayor fully knew the illegal activity was occurring. Mr. Cilo submitted invoices for payment and was reimbursed by Stanhope in performing the criminal cover-up of the earlier criminal conduct. Mr. Maher in a telephone call with his supervisor Mr. Grayce directed me to notify the Borough Engineer to report violations which Mr. Maher saw as I showed him many photographs to some prosecutor. When I did as directed by the State, the Borough of Stanhope sent Police to my door awaking us up at night with threatening letters from the Town Administrator Teri Massood. As I repeated sent messages about the illegal conduct, Ms. Massood sent more threatening letters always delivered by the Police. As my wife suffers from a brain disease and the stress was causing her extensive agony and she was on heavy drugs, I provided the Mayor and Town Council a photograph of my wife in agony and a letter from her doctor and begged the corrupt Town Officials stop sending police to my door. But they continued as they sent the Police four times to threaten me and intimidate others neighbors.

The Department of Agriculture and Sussex County Soil Conservation District were repeatedly made aware with photographs with their own inspectors shown standing on top of the 8 ft high wall looking at the lower wall in the conservation easement that is no shown on any of their plans. Over 100 emails were sent to the executive secretary of the State Soil Conservation Committee Mr. Jim Sadley and his associate Mr. Frank Minch and to Sussex County Soil Conservation District's chairman Mr. Clifford Lundin and its manager Ms. Winifred Straub.

The conspiracy against the people is continuous and has NOT ceased.

Timeline:

An illegal certificate of occupany without conditions was issued on Jul 10, 2002 for 6 Oak Drive Block 10902 Lot 12

A deed was on Jul 12, 2002 from E.N.F. Development Co. LLC. to Mr. and Mrs. Lamicella which contained the Promise of Grantor as well as notice of deed restrictions.

On the Eleanor Dawalt deed wherein the minor subdivision of Lots 10,11,and 12 were lot lined adjusted to be in near conformance with Municipal Zoning codes, a deed record D-2581-248 signed by the Stanhope Board of Adjustment Chairman Mr. Beale and the Secretary to the Board of Adjustment is signed on the deeds.

A meeting was held among the corrupt John Cilo Jr. at 12 East Drive among Mr. and Mrs. Pawar of 12 East Drive, Mr. Lamicella of 6 Oak Drive and myself, Thomas Caggiano of 10 East Drive. After letting the corrupt Borough Engineer John Cilo Jr. lie to the four of us three times about the wall, I confronted Mr. Cilo with the Chapter 100 code and made him read 100-58C where after he admitted he lied, admitted the 8' high wall was not on the site plan and did not met code. He also admitted after I showed him the site plan and Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Mr. Cilo signed for the project that was never certified by the State that the trees in the open area were plotted with a note for their retention and would be replaced with 5.25 inch caliber trees on a 2 for 1 basis. Thereafter he conspired with the Mayor, Governing Body, Town Administrator, Code Enforcement Official to emplace a lower wall in the restricted deed conservation area during Jul 29, 2002 through Aug 14, 2002 and they have criminally conspired with many Departments in Criminal Justice and the Department of Agriculture for over 4 years in a wide spread sustained criminal conspiracy with lies told to and by numerous officials in a white wash of the Construction Code Official by Department of Community Affairs Codes and Standards people, by the Local Government staff, Sussex County Prosecutor's Office, Department of Agriculture, Sussex County Soil Conservation District, Office of Government Integrity, Department of Criminal Justice, two judges and prosecutors.


"The minor sub-division deed is executed pursuant to a minor subdivision approval granted by the Board of adjustment of the Borough of Stanhope as set forth in its Resolution Granting Minor Subdivision Re: Blcok 10902, Lots 10,11 and 12. Case No. 00-005, dated November 1, 2000. The conveyance, pusuant to this Minor Subdivision Deed, is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Resolution of the Approval.

The property is being conveyed subject to

(1) easements, covents, restrictions, agreements, and all other matters of record;

(2) zoning, building and other land use laws, ordinances and regulations;

(3) such state of facts as an accurate survey may disclose;

and (4) current outstanding real estate taxes and assessments."


The first wall violates the slopes in the site plan and a second lower wall was built after a meeting on Jul 27, 2002 among Mr. John Cilo Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Pawar of 12 East Drive, Mr. Joseph Lamicella of 6 Oak Drive Block 10902 Lot 12, and Mr. Caggiano of 12 East Drive on the outside deck of 12 East Drive. Mr. John Cilo Jr. the Borough Engineer lied three times concerning the wall in front of the four property owners.

Mr. Thomas Caggiano had his copy of the Stanhope Land Development Code Chapter 100 and the site plan and told Mr. Cilo that he was a liar. Mr. Caggiano then had Mr. Cilo read the municipal code and the site plan. Thereafter, Mr. Cilo admitted he lied, admitted his guilt, admitted the single 8' high wall did not meet code and admit the wall was not shown on the site plan.

In addition, after grabbing the site plan out of Mr. Caggiano's hand as Mr. Cilo was seated to his left, he pulled the site plan over to him so he could see that he signed the site plan which was also a Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan for the minor subdiviion that he himself has signed on Oct 9, 2001, then admitted the four large shade trees plotted on Block 10902 Lot 10 with a note on the site plan were not protected and destroyed and agreed to replace the four trees on a two for one basis with 5.25 inch caliber trees.

I agreed I would provide Mr. Cilo the types of trees as noted in the fax below after I did a survey with the adjacent property owners on Oak Drive and Valley Road to determine which species of trees should be considered to allow the adjacent property to see the fall autumn colors they desire to see and have a diverse tree field rather then a single tree. The tree species were provided to Mr. Cilo and are included below after I did an independent investigation with Gardens of the World Nursary and also obtained watering instructions that would be required in the deed for Lot 10 once sold to assure the futuer owner provided the new trees proper care. The trees were never replaced.

Rather then removing the excess fill and remove many rocks from the properties, Stanhope's corrupt Borough Engineer Mr. Cilo Jr. directed Mr. Franklin Dawalt Jr. an owner of E.N.F. Development Co. with the knowledge of the Mayor, Borough Attorney, Town Council, Town Administrator, Code Enforcment Official and others to without any variance request, without any fees, any design, in violation of the deed, in violation of the site plan, emplaced another lower wall in the conservation area.

Neither wall is shown on the two false Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans prepared by E.N.F. Development Co. LLC, professional engineer Wendell Inhoffer, professional planner Judith Keith which were both certified by Sussex County Soil Conservation District's professional engineer or the second false SESCP again prepared by PE Wendell Inhoffer and approved by PP Mr. Sedivy and certified by SCSCD's chairman Mr. Clifford Lundin.

Based upon my OPRA request, SCSCD never even notified the Land Use Board as required by law that SCSCD certified the second false SESCPs that were not within its jurisdiction as single home SESCPs are exempt from its jurisdiction.

SCSCD certifies false SESCPs it has not legal right to certify and doesn't even inform the Land Use Board it took the illegal act. Amasing State government control. No one over what the Borough is doing, when they are told the State ignors it and just certifies false plans without telling anyone that aren't even legal documents as they were also stamped not valid unless approved by the Municipality. Some joke. SCSCD stamps it NOT APPROVED and doesn't tell anyone they have a "NOT VALID" SESCP that's false for something they can't even legally certify. You are living in New Jersey and deeds, municipal laws and state laws don't apply.

After I testified under oath at the Board of Engineers as indicated in the letter from Director of Consumer Affairs on this web site all four profeessional engineers were placed under immediate concurrent investigation for preparing false SESCPs, false memorandum or approving them. Criminal investigators are recommended to contact the executive director of the Board of Engineers Mr. Arthur Russo and obtain a complete set of the maps and other ninety exhibits I provided to the Board which provide schematic drawings of the criminal conspiracy, criminal codes, and much additional data.

The lower wall in the conservation area was constructed between Jul 29,2002 and Aug 15, 2002 without any authority, totally illegally.

After I constantly complained to the Land Use Board, Mr. Mike Vance its chairman and Land Use Board's Attorney Mr. Roger Thomas both prevented me from any further discussion of the illegal development of which I was an adversely impacted property owner. As the Land Use Board was the proper venue to present my greivances, it was tyranny as while I paid my taxes I was denied my right to present my grievances to my representatives. In an earlier Land Use Board meeting they both refused to my question if they had received the false SESCP certified by SCSCD on Oct 8, 2002 as I waved the false plan in their faces.

After I complained repeatedly to the Town Council and Mayor and requested they fire the Borough Engineer and Town Administrator Teri Massood for she had a meeting with me and admitted she buried the false SESCP prepared by Eleanor Dawalt for a single home certified by Mr. Lundin on Oct 8, 2002 and instructed her to provide the false plan to the Land Use Board, she threw me out of her office.

Thereafter the Town Council and Mayor criminally banned me from attending any public meeting, communicating with any representative in any manner, communicating in any manner with any Stanhope employee and if I entered Stanhope property for any reason that the Chief of Police was ordered by the Town Administrator Teri Massood to immediately charge with trespass and if contacted any employee for any reason to charge me with criminal harrassment. I'll let you select an adjective to desribe them. On May 11, 2006, the General Record Council's finding was the order signed by the corrupt Town Administrator Teri Massood was illegal and the Borough of Stanhope willfully violated my OPRA rights eighteen times.

A few of the many criminal codes which I believe apply to many government officials, developer and its sub-contractor's are:

A. Official Misconduct 2C:30-2b
B. Maintaining a nuisance (the single wall) 2C:33-12A
C. Obstruction administration of law 2C:29-1
D. False reports to enforcement officials fictitious reports 2C:28-4.b

Below is a blow up image of the site plan which shows the four trees plotted to be saved.

The penalty pursuant to Chapter 53 Shade Tree Commission is a $1,000 and up to 90 days in jail.

The contractor wrote numerous false letters and memorandum and submitted false reports which did NOT show the walls on Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plans that were certified by SCSCD's Board of Supervisors, Mr. Lundin and Ms. Straub over my vehement objections as noted in the minutes on this web sire.

The two false SESCPs which were more criminal acts still had the nore that the trees where to be saved on the SESCP with one of the four trees shown on the false SESCPs.

No one in SCSCD or the corrupt Department of Agriculture has ever contacted any of the seventeen property owners that complained of sediment on their property, boulders on the property, destroyed trees, etc. SCSCD's chairman Mr. Lundin and manager Ms. Straub, the HQ, Department of Agriculture executive secretary of the State Soil Consevation Committee were provided over 100 emails each and ignored all letters of adverse impacts and letters of the fraud in the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control plans as photographs providing the falseness were ignored and their own field inspectors ignored the violations in their field inspection reports as did the Borough Engineer John Cilo Jr. Letters from the Stanhope Environmental Commission and Land Use Board available on the web site were also ignored as not a single violation as of May 4, 2006 has ever been made against the developer.

I on the other hand at the "hands" of Mr. Lundin and Ms. Straub I was criminally convicted 5 times and in a Stillwater court and a Hopatocong court both judges refused to allow me to call Mrs. Pawar and Mrs. Caggiano who were both sitting in the court.

Fined thousands of dollars, thousands of dollars in lawyer fees, two years on probation, two years I could not vote and totally banned from the Corrupt Borough of Stanhope without even a kangaroo court which refused me to call a witness in my defense. The SCSCD's lawyer Mr. Brian Smith bragged in an internal SCSCD memorandum after reviewing SCSCD's 1,700 pages four times discover his letter where he acknowledged the high cost of a court transcript and appeal costs were a deterent to proceeding with an appeal. In one of the so called trails the non-refundable cost of the transcript alone was $2,000. The Governor should change the law so that a convicted defendent can pay the transcript cost and if he subsequently found innocent the funds are returned to the innocent defendent. The way it stands now the cost of the transcript alone "prevents" appeals for when the non-refunded cost of the transcript is far greater then the fine what economic sense does it provide the innocent person to pursue his goal to prove his innocense in a court that allows witnesses to be heard which just happens to be one's New Jersey Constitutional right. But in the Borough of Stanhope, you don't even get charged, they just report to the General Record Council as Stanhope did as the reason I could not examine any document under OPRA that I was a criminal when I had not even been charged with a crime.

You can't get any worse then Stanhope. Convicted without any charge. What a lovely Borough.

Well I am back with the Governor's support and Mr. Brenner. The Governor directed the Department of Community Affairs, which ignored over 3,000 pages of evidence and letters signed by fourteen property owners to investigate Stanhope in June 2006.

This effort was delayed by the State wide shutdown do to no budget being approved by the legislature as there was disagreement on the sales tax increase and casinos, parks and other State services shutdown.

Below is the story on the four trees that disappeared but one with a protective fence around it as required by SCSCD's two criminally, false SESCPs still appears on the two false SESCPs certified by SCSCD's chairman Mr. Lundin without any approval by the Land Use Board.

No SCSCD professional engineer, manager or any of its three field inspectors noticed that a tree with a fence around it did not exist.

What a borough. What a county. What a state.

Below is the corrupt Borough Engineer's John Cilo Jr. photograph taken Jul 26, 2002
This photo is from 6 Oak Drive looking south past 2 Oak Drive, Block 10902 Lot 10
The street shown is East Drivew which is the south property line of 2 Oak Drive and is the street East Drive
The house shown is my house at 12 East Drive and the upper right westerly window is the my bedroom from
which I took dozens of witnessed dated photographs as it provides a direct oversite view of the illegal development
In addition I use a short ladder to get to my roof top and took "aerial" shots of the development.
The photograph taken by the Government official shows ALL four large shade trees were destroyed in Jul 2002
One 8" shade tree is plotted behind or rear of the house on the site plan and Soil Erosion and Sediment
control plan for the minor subdivision project of two lots which required an approved Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and be certified by Sussex County Soil Conservation District. NO such plan was ever approved AND certified at any time.

The entire development and issuance of both certificates of occupancies violated many municipal and state laws.

Both SESCPs certified by Sussex County Soil Conservation District were criminal submittals by E.N.F. Development Co. LLC, Eleanor Dawalt, Franklin Dawalt Jr., professional engineer Wendell Inhoffer and professional planner Judith Keith.

Both false SESCPs DO NOT show the two walls as one was built AFTER the Borough Engineer John Cilo Jr wrote to the Construction Code Official Thomas Pershouse that the site met conditions. No required as-built drawing was ever made by E.N.F. Development Co. LLC as required by the Deed restrictions prior to a certificate of occupancy being issued.

The wall is a felony and a nuisance. Boulders previously had fallen into the conservation easement and rolled down and slide down steep hills as large critical slope variances were issued but the site was drastically over filled and the slopes approached 90 degrees on 2 and 6 Oak Drive as boulders smashed into fences over forty feet into 5 Valley Road.

All field inspection reports by the Borough Engineer and SUBSEQUENTLY Sussex County Soil Conservation District were FALSE as in their reports they state NOTHING left the property. A detailed report was provided the executive secretary of the
State Soil Conservation Committee Mr. Jim Sadley as well as over 100 other emails with witnessed dated photos and letters from seventeen property owners none whom have ever been contacted by the Department of Agriculture OR Sussex County Soil Conservation District.

The Land Use Board wrote a letter to Sussex County Soil Conservation District that Mr. Caggiano and his neighbors appeared before the Board and wrote there was clear sedimentary violations and for Ms. Straub the manager to conduct an investigation. Ms. Straub slammed down the cover of a portfolio of photo I took into SCSCD and refused to look at any and after sending Mr. Sadley, Mr. Minch, Mr. Lundin and Ms. Straub large word files which had embedded photographs of the violations and text describing them, deleted them all from their computers and saved NO printouts but I sent as a COOP plan copies to the Department of Community Affairs a foot of emails that are in a box in its building.

Below is a Photograph of box of emails in Codes and Standards. The photo was taken in Dec 2005 when I visited DCA and informed the Deputy Director of Local Government Mr. Pffifer that the investigation performed by that Department was criminally lied to by the Stanhope Town Administrator Teri Massood and Sussex County Prosecutor's Office's Detective Joseph Costello.

Below is an image of the certification by Mr. Lundin on Mar 24, 2004 for Block 10902 Lot 10 only NOT within its jurisdiction which is a criminal submittal as neither of the 2 walls is shown and one of the trees is still shown.

Mr. Franklin Dawalt Jr. wrote another criminally false report to Stanhope stating the shade trees were infected with carpenter ants, never asked for the required proof of certification required by Chap 53 from the Sussex County Soil Conservation District prior to destruction and included another criminally false report by professional planner Judith Keith who prepared the site plan with 4 trees plotted to be saved and another criminally false SESCP submitted to Sussex County Soil Conservation District that shown no walls and one tree with a note they were to be saved in the open area with a letter that NO trees were to be saved. Neither false SESCP certified by Mr. Lundin was ever submitted to Stanhope's Land Use Board, Shade Tree Commission AND Stanhope Environmental Commission AND for public review as ALL the FALSE SESCPS are invalid on their face as they ARE STANPED NO Valid without municipal approval which was never even requested with a complete application package. The Town Administrator buried the Oct 8, 2002 false plan in the Construction Code's Official folder who is a voting member of the Land Use Board by the name of Thomas Pershouse who lied to a criminal investigation conducted by the Department of Community Affairs investigator Mr. Maher who was also lied to by Mr. Cilo and Ms. Straub WHO also in violation of Title 40, NJAC 2:90-1-1.14, the State Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act and Stanhope Municipal Code Chapter 100-119 ALL told Mr. Maher no SESCP was required and Mr. Maher, of Code and Standards, KNEW one was required and that the reports to him were criminally false reports because he held the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan copy I had of the site plan/SESCP for the project signed by Mr. Cilo that was approved by the Board of Adjustment in his hands in my home.

I had Five feet of evidence was in my dining room and Mr. Maher who was in my small foyer REFUSED constantly to go into the next room to see the evidence on the table as Mr. Dawalt stayed in his car outside my home chain smoking for the entire hour and only left observing my home AFTER Mr. Maher had left.

Mr. Maher, DCA Codes and Standards investigator stated to me: "Let the wall fall down more and you can get a bigger insurance claim!

Mr. Maher's White wash report can be obtained from Department of Community Affairs and is a white wash of the Construction Code Official of who's conduct hew as reviewing as Mr. Cilo informed Mr. Pershouse to stop immediately on Jan 8, 2002.

In Stanhope for E.N.F. Development Co. LLC on 2 and 6 Oak Drive and 8 Hickory Drive a site plan WITH a SESCP on the SAME drawing is made.

New Jersey is the corruption state and Sussex County is the corruption county and Stanhope is the corruption Borough.

When one telephones other county legal lawyer referral services and tell them in your introduction that Stanhope is corrupt, the person on the telephone says: WE KNOW

Stanhope is a government of treason, of total corruption and my wife keeps telling me she wants to leave this corrupt state but I was born here and I am cleaning out ALL its corrupt borough, county and State organizations as these web pages document its demise from the top of the Corrupt Department of Criminal Justice as I smelled the odor of corruption as I attempted to report the corruption and demanded Mr. Leister to see me or Mr. Trapp or Mr. Czepeil. It was unfortunate the sent the corrupt one to see me. Mr. Edgar Hess's Boss Ms. Leister who struts around like some Gestapo member for she is a leader of New Jersey's own SSS department in the Hughes Justice Complex.

State trooper Pierce was provided Mr. Ricketts letter that said I had confidential information and it showed Mr. Nobile of the U.S. Attorney Office, Mr. Czepiel of the Department of Criminal Justice and Mr. Purcell of the HQ, Department of Agriculture was provided my namea as a source.

None of these people have contacted me since they got the letter from the Director as shown on the web site.

The Director of the Department of Agriculture's Ms. Monique Purcell's assistant Colleen told me I sent in so much evidence by fax, I shut down the Department and on another occassion faxed in so much evidence, they ran out of toner. Ms. Monique Purcell refuses to contact me in any manner or any of the adjacent property owners who wrote letters of impact on their property or the adjacent property.

Needless to say in New Jersey, we have total proof of how totally corrupt New Jersey is as this web site just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger as more and more corrupt government people are contacted.

All four shade trees are destroyed and then E.N.F. made an access point on East Drive as the entire site was drastically overfilled from Oak Drive without ANY wheel clearing for 8 months of continuous unreported reported violations on Lot 10 and Lot 12 as Mr. Cilo wrote false inspection reports.

In Mr. Cilo's inspection report of Jan 8, 2002 to our corrupt Construction Code Official Mr. Thomas Pershouse, our corrupt Borough Attorney Richard Stein and our corrupt Town Administrator Teri Massood who lies like a passon to criminal investigators and has NO level of shame or limit to the criminal acts she will support in her treason act of banning me fron Stanhope and writing the CORRUPT General Record Council's Office that I was a criminal.

The criminals in Stanhope are reporting to the criminals in the Department of Community Affairs in the General Record Council that I am a criminal and the General Record Council brings in the State Police to STOP me from recording the criminal conduct being committed by the criminal General Record Council criminals as I am reporting the other criminals to the criminals.

The state police are under the control of the criminals in the Hughes Justice Complex supported by the criminal judges and prosecutors in Stillwater and Hopatcong as my property taxes on my almost worthless vacant land that is not accessible by road is raised 760% as trees are becoming more hazardous and rotten and as all the white birch trees have collapsed and are broken in half so walking anywhere on the property of extremely steep slopes, drops of 15 feet which I filled up with broken tree limbs so no one can walk on the property in many areas and huge rock outcrops the size of trucks requested by the criminal Borugh Attorney / Municipal Prosecutor Mr. Stein in front of the criminals in the Sussex County Tax Board.

For some reason I am the only person to be convicted five times by the criminals for reporting the criminal conduct and the judges in two criminal courts commit criminal conduct by not allowing me to call any witnesses in my defense on false charges by the criminals in Sussex County Soil Conservation District's chairman Mr. Lundin and Manager Ms. Straub as I am issued two protection orders so I can NOT report criminal conduct by ENF now occurring on 8 Hickory Drive as ENF is on-site at the direction of Stanhope's criminally lead Land Use Board where the criminals rehired the criminal professional engineer who is incompetent and under 3 investigation by the HONEST Department of Consumer Affairs. Stanhope hired a Borough Engineer and FIRED HIM as the company participates in the criminal conduct by Omland's Engineering as Eric Keller the new Borough Engineer complies with criminal orders issued by the criminal Borough of Stanhope Borough Attorney Mr. Stein and its criminal Town Administrator Teri Massood. The criminal Cilo gets a meaningless title as a consultant who has NO authority to approve or sign anything as the Borough Engineer is the ONLY official that can sign OFFICIAL Land USE Board documents per Chapter 100-33.C.(2) but the corrupt Land Use Board Lawyer Roger Thomas of Dolan and Dolan has the cooperation of the Mayor's representative on the Board Mr. Wooton who is a criminal on the Land Use Board, Mayor's Representative to the Land Use Board and a member of Stanhope corrupt Town Council.

Our corrupt Chief of Police Pittenger is also corrupt as well as the chairman of the Shade Tree Commission that keeps NO minutes of any meeting and are joined in by our corrupt Code Enforecment Official Arlene Fisher who buried my report on the shade tree destruction and then says she lost it so its on the WEB so she can't loose it again.

This is the false certification signed by Sussex County Soil Conservation District's chairman Clifford Lundin of which SCSCD has no copy of any letter sent to the Land Use Board as required by N.J.A.C. 2:90 It's for a single home NOT under its jurisdiction on Block 10902 Lot 10 @ Oak Drive
There is no as-built drawing, a wall is in the restricted deed area, all trees destroyed and wetland buried in violation of the wetland permit's general conditions. Hundreds of unreported offenses occurred and there were false inpsection reports by Stanhope and the State's SCSCD. Cilo included this in his submission to the Board of Engineers in response to complaint 05-13 HOW did he get it? The criminally false report was filed by E.N.F. Development Co. LLC Mr. Franklin Dawalt Jr but no required SSCC 251 AP10 form with percentage ownership affidavit was ever filed. This false SESCP was never submitted to the Land Use Board, Shade Tree Commission, Stanhope Environmental Commission or the Public for immediate rejection. One big criminal conspiracy

Below is the false certification for only Block 10902 Lot 10 and NOT for the project as no approved and certified Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (SESCP) has ever existed for the project, a minor sub-division of 2 Lots on Block 10902 Lots 10 and 12 nor has any required as-built drawing as required by both deeds as a pre-condition of a certificate of occupancy ever been made. Neither the site plan or the 2 criminally false SESCPs prepared by E.N.F. Development Co. LLC.'s Mr. Franklin Dawalt Jr. and PE Wendell Inhoffer which were never approved by Stanhope shows the two walls and both show one 8" caliber tree which was long destroyed. The first criminally false SESCP was certified by SCSCD 11 months AFTER the illegal development started and 3 months after the illegal certificate of occupancy was issued by Stanhope on 6 Oak Drive and another illegal certificate of occupancy was issued for 2 Oak Drive.

Obvious criminal submittals not even within SCSCD's jurisdiction as single homes are exempt are certified by the State's criminals known by the municipal government criminals and the criminals in the HQ, Department of Agriculture. Needless to say none of these criminals ever issued even a notice of violation as the fines would be in the $ Millions as each day is a new offense and the fines could be levied at $3,000 per day for years of constant illegal violations as all inspection reports by Stanhope and SCSCD were false. The criminals abound.

This is the second criminally false SESCP certified by SCSCD which of course SCSCD never even notified Stanhope in writing it certified the false SESCP which by the way, the Corrupt Borough Engineer John Cilo submitted as "evidence" in his response to the Board of Engineers regarding complaint 05-13 which had dozens of false statements.

The following photo was taken by Thomas Caggiano and witnessed by Kathryn Caggiano of the rear of Block 10902 Lot 10, 2 Oak Drive, Stanhope and provides the criminally false inspection reports by John Cilo Jr.

The photo was also one of dozens I took to Sussex County Soil Conservation District and in a meeting with its corrupt manager Ms. Winifred Straub with SCSCD's witnesses it's field inspector Mr. Krause in the meeting, upon Ms. Straub seeing the first of many photos I had taken of massive continuous violations with the property owners in the photos standing on sediment in their yard with boulders sprewed around the property, with tape measurers used to measure the length of flows no only in to non-disturbance zone marked on the site plan but criminally false SESCP certified by Mr. Lundin what had NO walls shown as the slopes on the SESCP was false and erased 3 of the 4 trees and the stablized access points which were not even ever built as the entire site was over filled and a wetland was buried without any even criminally false certified plan certified for only one home and not the project which was also never approved by Stanhope's Land Use Board, slammed the portfolio of photographs down on my fingers. Refused to conduct the evaluation requested by the Land Use Board of clear environmental and sedimentary violations even if I obtained the signatures of thirty property owners as can be confirmed by Ms. Cathy Williams who was the "middleperson" in the telephone conservation as I called back to Ms. Straub after she had me remove the evidence from SCSCD and thereafter refused to me with me again denying my lenghty request for another meeting

Per Mr. Sadley's criminally false report to the DEP Commissioner Ms. Lisa Jackson only a sediment fence was corrected between Lots 10 and 12 and nothing left the property ignoring 100 emails, petitions from 15 adjacent property owners and their letters of mud on their property and NOT a single person in SCSCD or Department of Agriculture who has received over 200 emails and faxes with photographic evidence has ever contacted any of the adjacent property owners.

Stanhope's inspection reports, SCSCD reports and Mr. Sadley's and Mr. Minch's of HQ, Dept of Agriculture are ALL criminally false for YEARS as the two lot development was always under its jurisdiction and knew massive development, a wetland was buried, a house was lived in and has ingored all facts as they ALL operate in a criminal conspiracy with the Borough of Stanhope, the Office of Government Integrity, the Sussex County Prosecutor's Office and Department of Criminal Justice's Special Prosecutions Branch lead by AAG Ms. Lester and Mr. Hann.

As can be seen in the photo, the mandatory required hay bales were NEVER installed and the silt fence was buired with some stakes sticking out of the earth as boulders rolled down steep slopes into and through the conservation area and into Valley Road backyards.

The criminal cover-up continued in full force in the May 30, 2006 Town Council meeting even as I announced the General Record Council made a final determination on May 11, 2006 after months of review that the Borough of Stanhope illegally violated State laws WILLFULLY without any notice whatsoever by the corrupt Mayor, Town Council, Borough Attorney and Town Administrator as the latter two signed the documents that the STATE GRC stated were illegal! That is Stanhope.
