New Jersey Court upholds clean water standards
The New Jersey Supreme Court in Trenton Tuesday, let stand the clean water standards in the state for rehabilitated contaminated sites.
It had been argued by the state Chamber of Commerce and Federal Pacific Electric Co. that the Department of Environmental Protection water purity standards for the sites were too stringent.
"It's a clear victory for clean water over developers and pollution, because if they would have weakened the standards, it would have meant putting more families at risk of drinking contaminated water," said Jeff Tittel, executive director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, as reported by the Associated Press and published by Newsday.
