Petition to Stop Dumping of Sludge for Dewatering in Harrison NJ


Petition to Stop Dumping of Sludge for Dewatering in Harrison NJ
The Issue
We the undersigned Petition EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan and Governor Phil Murphy to NOT use the PSE&G property located at South Frank E. Rodgers Blvd in Harrison, NJ as a Sediment (Sludge) Processing Facility from the dredging of Passaic River contaminated toxic and cancer-causing soil. The sludge contains by-products of producing Agent Orange at the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site in Newark NJ. Over Twenty Years Ago, Mayor Raymond J. McDonough and Peter Higgins set forth a plan to redevelop contaminated industrial properties into residential properties. Their vision has almost been fulfilled. Contaminated soils should not be dumped in what is now a residential neighborhood in Harrison NJ.
