STONE HARBOR’S DREDGING PROJECT PARTIALLY SUSPENDED BY STATE

A major dredging project in Stone Harbor has been partially suspended by the state.  The Press of Atlantic City reports that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has suspended the dredging project in all but two areas due to problems with the dewatering process.  The project called for dredge materials to be put into large tubes in a municipal parking lot to allow the water to drain out; there have been two spills during this project.
