Narrative:

VFR ATR departing runway 29, I gave him a turn on about 250 degree heading to climb and maintain 1500 ft. Traffic departure runway 22R given heading 270 degrees and maintain 2000 ft by local controller. I saw the conflict and gave the VFR traffic an immediate right turn. I told the VFR aircraft about traffic and told him that I had both in sight. Poor coordination between local control and cba (me). Situation could have been coordinated with better headings to prevent the conflict. The VFR traffic departed a non standard runway on a climb back overhead for an east heading. The initial turn for the VFR traffic was an altitude climb for traffic arriving runway 22L. The local controller and I discussed situation regarding better coordination and solutions. Chain of events: VFR traffic off non service runway. IFR traffic off service runway with non standard climb. Heavy departure push for local control. Discovered through radar primary return. Corrective action -- immediate turn and got visual out window on both aircraft. Poor coordination between local and cba controllers.

Title: 2 ATR ACFT DEPARTED APPROX THE SAME TIME OFF OF 2 DIFFERENT EWR RWYS AND GIVING HEADINGS THAT WOULD CAUSE THEM TO OVERLAP EACH OTHER'S FLT PATH. ATCT TWR CTLR OBSERVED POTENTIAL CONFLICT FROM THE TWR AND ISSUED NEW HEADING INSTRUCTIONS.

Narrative: VFR ATR DEPARTING RWY 29, I GAVE HIM A TURN ON ABOUT 250 DEG HDG TO CLB AND MAINTAIN 1500 FT. TFC DEP RWY 22R GIVEN HEADING 270 DEGS AND MAINTAIN 2000 FT BY LCL CTLR. I SAW THE CONFLICT AND GAVE THE VFR TFC AN IMMEDIATE R TURN. I TOLD THE VFR ACFT ABOUT TFC AND TOLD HIM THAT I HAD BOTH IN SIGHT. POOR COORD BTWN LCL CTL AND CBA (ME). SIT COULD HAVE BEEN COORDINATED WITH BETTER HEADINGS TO PREVENT THE CONFLICT. THE VFR TFC DEPARTED A NON STANDARD RWY ON A CLB BACK OVERHEAD FOR AN E HEADING. THE INITIAL TURN FOR THE VFR TFC WAS AN ALT CLB FOR TFC ARRIVING RWY 22L. THE LCL CTLR AND I DISCUSSED SIT REGARDING BETTER COORD AND SOLUTIONS. CHAIN OF EVENTS: VFR TFC OFF NON SVC RWY. IFR TFC OFF SVC RWY WITH NON STANDARD CLB. HVY DEP PUSH FOR LCL CTL. DISCOVERED THROUGH RADAR PRIMARY RETURN. CORRECTIVE ACTION -- IMMEDIATE TURN AND GOT VISUAL OUT WINDOW ON BOTH ACFT. POOR COORD BTWN LCL AND CBA CTLRS.
