Ridgewood NJ, demand that the Ridgewood Mayor, the New Jersey Attorney General, and the NJDEP do their due diligence to find the source of legacy contamination and stop this proposed harmful development!
Activists including the Sierra Club are urging residents to hold officials accountable and demand that the Ridgewood Mayor, New Jersey Attorney General, and NJDEP conduct a full investigation following the discovery of hazardous soil contamination. The 42 million pounds of ‘free soil’ obtained from various sources, including Ridgewood Water and Bergen County Community College, could ultimately cost the public millions, with no clear assessment of the health or environmental impacts. Despite public outcry, Ridgewood officials have refused to take action against those responsible.
