Press Release September 10

TRENTON * Despite assurances from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that it had
stopped a discharge from a Delaware River dredge disposal facility in Salem County, DEP inspectors today found water flowing uncontrolled from the site, raising the department\’s concerns about potential harmful impacts from contaminants on ecologically sensitive wetlands.

\”This finding is especially troubling because the Army Corps of Engineers represented both to DEP and in court documents that they stopped the flow of water shortly after it started last month,\” Commissioner Bob Martin said. \”At this point, we do not know how long or how frequently this water has been flowing off the site and into New Jersey wetlands or what environmental impacts this situation is having. We demand immediate answers and an action plan from the Army Corps. They must stop this discharge and prevent it from happening again.\”

The disposal facility is adjacent to the Killcohook National Wildlife Refuge and its ecologically sensitive tidal wetlands.

On Thursday, Governor Chris Christie and Commissioner Martin expressed outrage that the Army Corps had begun using a section of the Killcohook
