The partner agencies are committed to active and open public involvement throughout the life of this project. This CIP provides a toolbox of options for keeping the public informed and for soliciting input. Each respective agency has its own set of guidance with regard to public involvement. This CIP does not attempt to capture every possible outreach initiative among all six partner agencies or fit one specific CIP template. This CIP is divided into two parts to enable the reader to go directly to the sections of greatest interest, and also contains charts and graphics to enable the reader to see at a glance project activities and opportunities for public involvement. Part One includes the following: 1.1 Overview: discusses the purpose and scope of the CIP, as well as legal authorities. 1.2 Project Background: outlines the problems being addressed by the project and describes the project areas and the unique federal-state partnership that is supporting the Lower Passaic River Restoration Project.

  • Global Terminal, in Bayonne, New Jersey, Has One Clear Advantage
    The New Yorker: PRINTABLES Page 1 of 14 WATCHING THE WATERFRONT by WILLIAM FINNEGAN Mobsters, terrorists, and the docks of New York Harbor. Issue of 2006-06-19 Posted 2006-06-12 Global Terminal, in Bayonne, New Jersey, has one clear advantage over most of its competitors for container-ship business in New York Harbor: it’s a straight shot from the Narrows, the harbor’s entrance. From Global’s wharf to Ambrose Seabuoy, out in the Atlantic, where arriving ships meet the pilots, the distance is only fourteen miles. Maurice Byan, the president of Global, told me that ships ca save four hours by docking at his pier, which looks across at lower Manhattan, rather than turning wes and going through the Kill Van Kull and up into Newark Bay, where the biggest container terminals ar in Port Newark and Elizabeth, or to Howland Hook, on the western shore of Staten Island. Also, ships that dock at Global don’t need to pass under the Bayonne Bridge, which is becoming a problem as container ships grow ever larger. Last year, a freighter had to remove its radio towers to make it. Global, at a hundred acres, is a relatively small terminal, but it’s busy. Byan took me on a tour of the pier in his pickup truck, navigating between walls of containers and dodging big, fast-moving equipment—forklifts, bladed stackers, top loaders, and huge rubber-tired gantries, six stories high. “Empty field!” Byan yelled, pointing at some tall piles of multicolored containers, each one eight feet wide by eight feet high and forty feet long, with “CHINA SHIPPING” and “HANJIN” and “P & O NEDLLOYD painted on the sides.

A multi-year remedial investigation/feasibility study is being conducted by Tierra Solutions, Alkali Company – a former pesticides Inc. with EPA oversight. Tierra Solutions, Inc. is performing the work for manufacturing site located on the Lower Occidental Chemical Corporation. This study will assess the nature and Passaic River in Newark. EPA added extent of contamination in the Newark Bay area and develop cleanup plans to the Diamond Alkali site to its Superfund address those problems, as necessary. The Newark Bay study area includes Newark Bay and portions of the Hackensack River, the Arthur Kill and the Kill National Priorities List in 1984, Van Kull. making it eligible for federal cleanup funds under the Superfund program. Tierra Solutions, Inc. has submitted a work plan for the investigation to EPA for review. EPA is currently working with Tierra Solutions, Inc. and various Dioxin, pesticides and other hazardous other government agencies and interested parties to refi ne this work plan substances were found in sediment with the expectation of starting sediment sampling and other fi eld work samples taken from the Passaic in fall 2005. Once fi nalized, this work plan will be made available at local information repositories.

  • Sediment, Sedimentation, and Environments of the Lower Hackensack River and Newark Bay Estuary Complex
    Proceedings, WEDA XXXI Technical Conference & TAMU 42 Dredging Seminar SEDIMENT, SEDIMENTATION, AND ENVIRONMENTS OF THE LOWER HACKENSACK RIVER AND NEWARK BAY ESTUARY COMPLEX W. Murphy III1, W.B. Ward1, B. Boyd1, W. Murphy IV1, R. Nolen-Hoeksema1, M. Art1, D.A. Rosales-R1 ABSTRACT The Meadowlands, the lower Hackensack River, and Newark Bay in New Jersey form a connected estuarine system that is an important asset for the greater New York City metropolitan region because of its economic, environmental, and recreational value. The Corps of Engineers is deepening Newark Bay and at the same time initiating enhancements under the Hudson-Raritan Estuary Ecosystem Restoration Study. e4sciences|Earthworks LLC has produced sediment and ecological maps of Newark Bay and the lower 22 kilometers (14 miles) of the Hackensack River, which includes the Meadowlands. The accuracy is ±0.3m (±1ft). The fundamental concept is that different sediment deposits have distinctive measurable properties and behavior. On this basis, we can map, quantify, and characterize the deposits. The maps form the basis of targeted coring and testing as opposed to more expensive random testing. The mapping program included sub-bottom seismic profiling, orthosonography, multibeam bathymetry, magnetometry, digital photography, aerial photography, cores, sediment profile imagery, morphology, stratigraphy, sedimentation, biological data, and benthos. The geophysical methods imaged the water-bottom morphology and subsurface stratigraphy to 30.5 meters (100 feet) depth with 0.6-meter (2-foot) spatial resolution. Keywords: Dredging, beneficial uses, slurry transport, dredged material disposal, partially oil-saturated sediment. INTRODUCTION The Hudson-Raritan Estuary of New York and New Jersey is one of the largest estuaries on the East Coast of the United States.
