Hughes Asks 12-Mile Dumping Ban

WASHINGTON, D C. - Congressman Bill Hughes (D-NJ) ha?K called for a complete ban on the ocean dumping of sewage sludge at the 12 mile site off the coast of Sandy Hook. Instead, Hughes has urged the Environmental Protection Agency to move all ocean dumping to a deeper water site under strictly controlled circumstances, and then only as a tem-

WASHINGTON - Two Cape May County beach restoration and navigation programs sponsored by Second District Congressman Bill Hughes are among four South Jersey projects that have received additional funding from Congress According to the. con gressman, the funding, which was included in the stopgap appropriations hill that cleared Congress . earlier this month, will enable the Army Corps of Engineers to continue work on both the Cape May beach and New Jersey' In tracoastal Waterway pro

jects duriqg 1983

The other two projects being funded include those at Absecon Inlet and

Barnegat Inlet

"I'm very pleased that Congress half provided continued funding .for these projects,” Hughes said "Our economy in Routh Jersey is highly dependent on the waterways and beaches, and it is im perative that the Army Corps have sufficient funds

to n\a i n t a i n t h es c resources." Hughes pointed out that under the continuing^ resolution, Congress ap proved funding for the South Jersey projects at the same, level as 1982, rather than at thf pro jected 1983 levels Iri the case of the* Cape May beach restoration pro ject, the Army Corps will • actually hove more money than it needs to complete the,final engineering ,and design work, he said. The . Army Corps needs just $106,000 to finish the design work, but the continuing resolution gives the Cofps spending authority-o( $175,000 for the project in 1983 The same holds true for the Intercoastal Waterway, the Congressman said Earlier this year the House and Senate Appropriations Committee approved $l 128 million to dredge the In land Waterway next year However, by returning to the 1982 funding levels, the Army Corps will actually

have $1.6 million available to dredge the ICW next yea^ Hughes also said he-will urge the new Congress to ^ restore funding to dredge 7 Cold Spring Inlet He noted that Cold Spring Inlet, which serves the Coast Guard training base in (’ape May. was not funded during 1982. but was , scheduled for $550,000 in maintenance dredging iq 1983 Cold Spring Inlet mast tie dredged in 1983 to facilitate the upgrading of , training activities at- the Coasl (iuard base, he said read before ▲ you write use your library

Hurley said. ’ ’ S II E L T E RED workshops —non-profit centers providing training and jobs for the handicap ped —get work from private industry but obtain v^.ry few public sector contracts. "The workshops find it difficult to compete with private firms, which may be able to do the job slightly cheaper because they have sophisticated equipment and have experience with public bidding," Hurley went on. "My bill would spare workshops from going through the time consuming and costly bid process to obtain public contracts and the legislation should give local governments an incentive to hire the handicapped."

porary measure until all ocean dumping of sewage sludge can be^phased out. "lam very disturbed by the EPA’s latest proposal," Hughes said. "Despite the clear intent of Congress to phase out the ocean dump ing of materials harmful to the marine environment, the EPA is now 1 moving ahead with plans to designate new dumpsites off our shores”.
