New Jersey Residents, Officials Reach Settlement In Years-Long Lead Contamination Litigation
After years of litigation, representatives for the State of New Jersey and for residents of Newark have agreed on terms to remediate lead contamination of the city’s drinking water.
“Officials from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) reached an agreement with the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Newark Education Workers Caucus, which sued city and state officials in June 2018 for ongoing violations of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, including their failure to address the lead crisis on a timely basis,” CNN reported.
The City of Newark was sued over dangerously high levels of lead found in tap water in 2018, with some homes testing as high as 12-times the federal danger level. In 2019, the U.S. EPA sent a letter to Newark officials warning them about the issue and prompting state and federal commitments to fix the problem.

OCEAN COUNTY, NJ While the nor easter that dumped as much as 3 feet of snow in the northwestern corner of the state, the storm s wind and waves were leaving their mark on Ocean County s beaches.
Up and down the county waves that reached 12 feet at the height of the nor easter carved away, leaving 10- to 12-foot vertical dropoffs in Bay Head and Ortley Beach, and damaging dune walkovers in a number of sites. Towns cordoned off walkways that normally lead down sloped paths to the beach, leaving damage that will need to be repaired in time for the summer beach season.
