Assemblyman Charles Mainor Decries DEP Permits Granted to Spectra Energy

Matt Hunger — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:40:20 +0000

In a move that has “flabbergasted” at least one local politician, New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection has granted important permits for Spectra Energy to build their natural gas pipeline through Jersey City following slight modifications made to the pipeline route that the DEP says better consider environmental impact.

The energy company still requires approval from both the Federal Environmental Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Army of Engineers, but the granted permits are seen as an important step forward since the DEP had previously filed an intervener with the federal government to prevent the pipeline being built back in January.

In a prepared statement, DEP Commissioner Bob Martin called Spectra “responsive to environmental concerns raised” about the project, and pointed to the modifications made to the plan that would “reduce wetlands disturbances, changed the pipeline route to avoid contaminated sites and minimize disruptions to residential areas, and to employ a drilling method to bring the line far below surface, thereby avoiding neighborhood construction disruption.”

The permits granted include waterfront development, flood hazard, and for freshwater wetlands, and were “issued only after Spectra Energy complied with DEP’s demands for a series of environmental improvements to its original proposal.”

Local politicians have lined up against the pipeline, with both Mayor Healy and the city Council speaking out against the project at a hearing over FERC’s draft Environmental Impact Statement.

After the DEP’s decision, local politician Assemblyman Charles Mainor said he’s “flabbergasted by the lack of concern for residents in DEP’s decision to grant Spectra the permits needed for the building of a gas pipeline through Jersey City.”

“The pipeline will be built through some of Jersey City’s most densely populated neighborhoods, putting countless residents in terrible risk if there is an accident,” Mainor added. He also echoed concerns about the dangers of pipelines, pointing to a deadly explosion in San Bruno, California just last year. Mainor also called the move “threaten[ing]” to the city’s “economic vitality, with developers thinking twice about investing in our city because of the pipeline.”

“The administration should be ashamed of it itself for placing the interests of this energy giant over the safety of our residents, and the prosperity of our city,” he said.

New Jersey Looks to Privatize Concessions at Liberty State Park

Jon Whiten — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:56:56 +0000

In a new request for proposal (RFP) issued by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the agency is asking private businesses to propose a plan for managing and operating concessions, catering and event services at Jersey City’s 1,212-acre Liberty State Park (approximately 600 acres of land and 600 acres of water), one of the most popular parks in the country.

The NJ Sierra Club is skeptical of the plan, pointing out that “the lease is very open-ended and seems to give more rights to the potential operator over the public,” with the end result being “restricted access, higher prices, and more commercial development at Liberty State Park.”

The Sierra Club says it is “also concerned that there are very few limits on the type of commercial uses at the facility,” painting a nightmare scenario where the park “becomes a smaller version of the South Street Seaport,” featuring “a chain restaurant like Applebees with a Ripley’s Believe It or Not, arcade, indoor shops, or other types of commercial operations next door.”

Lastly, the group is concerned that companies may charge exorbitant prices for services provided on-site.

“There is no guarantee there will be affordable access for state residents to these facilities and services,” the NJ Sierra Club says in a statement. “This land belongs to all of us and is held in the public trust.”

But the Friends of Liberty State Park (FOLSP), which often stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the Sierra Club on park issues, says the DEP’s plan makes sense.

“The Friends of Liberty State Park supports this RFP for concessionaire and events management services at the CRRNJ Terminal because it is being done with respect for LSP’s mission and will protect public access,” FOLSP president Sam Pesin says. “There has always been a park concessionaire and this expansion of opportunities is to raise needed revenue and primarily involves appropriate uses such as evening weddings and other events after park hours in the terminal, and some corporate daytime uses of upstairs rooms. The DEP has reserved the right to disapprove of any event and the Friends will be give input on any out of the ordinary events.”

Pesin says he’s glad the Sierra Club has been part of past “anti-commercialization and privatization battles” against golf courses and water parks at the park, but that the group should have contacted the park advocates on the ground before speaking out against the latest proposal.

“[The NJ Sierra Club] is wrong to oppose this sensible terminal uses plan, and its director should have contacted the Friends before putting out a press release,” Pesin says.

The Liberty State Park RFP is the latest effort by the administration to turn over certain functions at state-owned facilities to the private sector. Since Gov. Chris Christie took office, the administration has turned over boat rentals at Island State Park to the private sector, as well as state-owned golf courses in Monmouth and Gloucester counties. It also has proposed allowing state forest lands to be cleared of timber, a move that has been put on hold.

With state parks facing a perennial funding crisis, the Christie administration has suggested that privatizing certain functions at the facilities could solve the problem. If a privatization task force appointed by Christie gets its way, the same fate may await Liberty State Park, Island Beach State Park, Wharton State Forest and other jewels of New Jersey’s park system. The task force suggested turning concessions over to the private sector, a step that could save the state anywhere from $6 million to $8.2 million.

In a press release, the DEP depicts the effort as part of an ongoing push to improve services and enhance revenues at all state parks, fulfilling a pledge by Christie to keep all parks open despite budget problems.

“Running the state park system is an enormous and expensive challenge, requiring the DEP to operate a myriad of highly diverse facilities that must be properly maintained and safeguarded for use by our residents,” DEP commissioner Bob Martin says in a statement. “We are looking to increase sustainable funding for our system by better utilizing some of our remarkable spaces, and Liberty State Park is an exceptional example of that.”

The initial term for the management agreement at Liberty State Park will be 10 years, with a five-year renewal option. The successful bidder will be responsible for day-to-day operations of food, beverage and concession sales and catering and events management services, and it will pay the state a fixed annual fee, increased annually, plus a percentage of its annual gross revenue earned from park operations.

A mandatory bidders meeting will be held at the CRRNJ Terminal at Liberty State Park on Thursday, September 15 at 11 am. The deadline for submitting proposals is September 29.

With Raw Sewage Being Discharged into Hudson River, DEP Urges Swimmers & Kayakers to Stay Out

Jon Whiten — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 21:40:19 +0000

On Wednesday, there was a fire at the North River Wastewater Treatment Plant in Manhattan that caused the facility to shut down, allowing raw sewage to begin flowing into the Hudson River around 5:15 pm. With the sewage leak not yet abated, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is urging that “individuals refrain from swimming, kayaking, and other recreational uses of the Hudson until the situation is resolved.”

The DEP says it isn’t yet sure if the sewage is in fact a threat to public health or to coastal land in New Jersey; it is currently undertaking scientific modeling, as well as taking samples and performing visual inspections on the Hudson River. The Associated Press reports that the first results are due within 24 hours.

“New Jersey is aggressively monitoring the situation, and working closely with the New York City and New York State environmental departments to fully assess the potential impacts of the flow of raw sewage into New Jersey’s waters,” DEP commissioner Bob Martin says in a statement. “The DEP has employed emergency response and water monitoring staff to assess water conditions and potential impacts on shellfish beds and recreational uses.”

The DEP is also recommending that all anglers and crabbers avoid contact with the water, clean any gear used in the water, and temporarily avoid consumption of fish and crabs. The agency will provide updates when normal fishing and crabbing may resume. New York City staffers and contractors are currently working to restart the pumps at the plant, which is located near 145th Street under Riverbank State Park. New York City officials said today that the estimated time to bring the plant back online is undetermined.

Downtown Jersey City Dry Cleaner Gets State Funding to Cut Down on Toxic Pollution

Star Cleaners has replaced some of its old polluting equipment with new organic cleaning system, thanks to a $21,600 state grant from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

The Downtown Jersey City dry cleaner, which sits at the corner of Newark Avenue and Coles Street, was one of the first in New Jersey to receive money under the DEP’s innovative Dry Cleaner Replacement Reimbursement Program, which targets air pollution caused by dry cleaning, and encourages dry cleaners to replace equipment that use the harmful chemical perchloroethylene (PCE) with environmentally friendly models.

The program is the first of its kind in the U.S., and DEP officials estimate that it could reduce emissions of PCE by as much as 450 tons each year. The agency has $5 million set aside for replacement grants; replacing a dry cleaning system costs between $45,000 and $60,000.

The DEP’s Ed Choromanski and Cindy Randazzo on Thursday joined Mayor Jerramiah Healy and Jersey City Economic Development Corporation CEO Steve Lipski in thanking and congratulating Star Cleaners owners Jong Hoon and Sung Lee for taking part in the program.

“As Jersey City continues to grow, our residents need more ecologically sound and affordable services,” Lipski said. “Programs such as this make it easier for small businesses like Star Cleaners to be able to provide those services.”

Choromanski, who is the acting director of the DEP’s Air and Hazardous Materials Compliance and Enforcement Program, explained that PCE is one of the more prevalent air pollutants in the state, particularly in urban areas. Vapors can also escape from dry-cleaning machines and seep through walls into adjacent apartments or businesses. A proposed state rule will ban dry cleaning machines that use PCE from residential and daycare settings by 2014, while a proposed federal rule would eliminate the use of those machines in the same settings by 2020.

The Lees, who opened Star Cleaners in 1992, used their grant to scrap their old system and install the non-toxic Natura Cleaning System, which uses no water and no chemicals, and leaves no odors. They said the new system actually does a better cleaning job as well, and that their customers have been happy with the results so far.

“The Dry Cleaner Replacement Reimbursement Program is definitely a win-win for the owners of dry cleaning establishments, and more importantly for everyone here in New Jersey,” Mayor Healy said. “Our hats go off to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for initiating and implementing this initiative.”

The Mailbag: Historic Paulus Hook Association Comes Out Against Proposed Waterfront Access Rule Changes

The Mailbag — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 11:30:25 +0000

To the Editor:

The Historic Paulus Hook Association (HPHA), the neighborhood group that represents the oldest Downtown waterfront community in Jersey City, strongly opposes the NJDEP’s amendments to the Public Access rules, which would remove all reference to the tidal waterfronts in Hudson County and the entire Northern New Jersey area. It would be a mistake to reverse years of effort that ensure the protection and maintenance of all New Jersey’s tidal areas for the use and enjoyment of all residents of the State.

In a densely populated urban area, the single best opportunity to improve community ties to the environment and provide respite from a congested urban lifestyle is to provide public access to piers and ports and create public open space and walkways along our waterfronts. Waterfront access has helped transform Hudson County into the growing urban center it is today. The opportunity to provide a means for access to tidal waterways must be maintained as a constant that will give people real and tangible benefits years into the future. Jersey City’s Hudson River waterfront has morphed into a vibrant economic engine that provides jobs and an attractive location to which businesses and residents flock due to waterfront access on the governor’s Waterfront Walkway.

Hudson County is the most densely populated county in the state. For those who don’t have access to beach houses or Caribbean vacations, a reduction of public access to the waterfront means summers in hot city apartments. It means children playing on asphalt. The proposed amendment penalizes the urban population as a whole for the short-term economic benefit of a few.

The HPHA strongly encourages the NJDEP to reconsider the decisions made in the proposed alterations to the Public Access rules.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Daniels
Historic Paulus Hook Association
Parks Committee Chairperson

DEP Hosting Public Hearing on Proposed Waterfront Access Rules Thursday in Jersey City

Jon Whiten — Wed, 11 May 2011 20:16:44 +0000

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is hosting a public hearing Thursday in Jersey City on the Christie administration’s proposed revision to the state’s waterfront access rules.

The rules have come under harsh criticism from environmental groups for reducing public access to urban waterfronts, as well as state beaches. Under the proposal, most waterfront activities would be exempted from public access requirements, including commercial, industrial and public development. All port facilities would be completely exempt from public access requirements. In addition, environmentalists contend the proposed rules define “homeland security” so vaguely they exempt almost any business on a waterway from access requirements.

“The DEP alleges that these proposed rules provide ‘reasonable’ waterfront access but, in fact, the rules do not detail how any access will be provided,” NY/NJ Baykeeper executive director Debbie Mans said when the proposed changes were unveiled in April. “This rollback would allow private businesses to use public resources without appropriate compensation to the citizens of New Jersey.”

The Christie administration proposal seeks to alter a 2007 rule that forced any DEP-permitted activity at a waterfront business to trigger public access requirements. If that public access is not practical because of security or safety concerns, the business may instead contribute to a fund to enhance public access in another appropriate area, such a waterfront park.

“The progress we have made as a state towards enjoying our urban waterfronts is literally being destroyed before our eyes,” Hackensack Riverkeeper captain Bill Sheehan said in April. Sheehan’s group contends that the rules will particularly harm residents in Jersey City and other urban areas, where gaining waterfront access has been a long, hard fight.

Written comments on the proposed rules are also being accepted by the DEP until June 3. Individuals wishing to submit comments on the record may do so by addressing them to:
