Camden-Woodbine. Ricky Manning loved working at Union Carbide in the 1980s: “That was my favorite job in my whole life. Really, Union Carbide, Rhone-Poulenc, Bayer they were all are great companies to work for,” said Manning, 60, listing the companies that manufactured munitions and pesticides on a marsh-front property where Camden County is poised to build a spaceport. “They just took care of their people.” But precisely because he worked there he’s adamant the county should not buy the land from its present owners, Union Carbide and Bayer Crop Science. A special election on March 8 will ask Camden voters if they want to repeal the county’s option to purchase the first of these properties. Manning sits firmly in the “vote yes” category. “I know what’s out here,” said Manning, who requires supplemental oxygen to treat his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and “popcorn lung,” conditions he attributes at least in part to breathing in nitric acid, sulfuric fumes, acetic acid fumes and dust at the site. “I don’t want my tax dollars, I don’t want my kids, my grandkids having to pay for all this stuff. This place is a mess.” Lots of spaceport opponents agree with him. Like Jim Goodman, one of the two named plaintiffs who filed the petition triggering the referendum. “The first guy that gets on a bulldozer and drops the blade into the earth and trips over unexploded munitions and scatters whatever is buried beneath there, that’s a potential lawsuit right there, Goodman said. “It’s a wasteland.”
