FOR THOSE WHO MISSED THE BIG NEWS, SUPER PROGRESS FOR THE HACKENSACK

Last week held a historic announcement for the Hackensack River and our organization. After years of hard work, Governor Murphy and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) announced their support behind listing the entire lower Hackensack River as a federal Superfund site. Once approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), roughly twenty-three miles of river will be placed on the National Priorities List (AKA the Superfund list). For those unfamiliar, a Superfund site is categorized as one so polluted that it requires a long-term response to remove hazardous contaminants.
