Panel Backs Sludge Ban

WASHINGTON, DC. -it The House Merchant |j r Marine and Fisheries Com- ■'$ i mittee has approved i ( legislation authored by | V Congressmen Bill Hughes <* I (D-NJ) and the late Edwin ?j Forsythe (R-NJ), which | t would shut down the | r sewage sludge dumpsite 12 # 1 miles off the coast of Sandy 1 \ Hook, New Jersey by the ? t end of next year. 1 Hughes said the legislation is intended to put the < force of law behind the U.S. < Environmental Protection | Agency's recent decision to ; phase out dumping at the ; site, and to minimize the < possibility of court challenges which could i delay implementation of i the EPA ruling. J In addition, Hughes said, i k the legislation would re- i quire the EPA to begin ;

developing a plan for « restoring the water quality : this severely degraded coastal area, which is : as the New York I Bight. '■ "I am "very pleased that < the Merchant Marine Com- < mittee has approved this legislation," said Hughes, ; who has led a 10-year fight to end the ocean disposal of harmful waste materials. "This" vote represents a significant step forward in efforts to assure that the marine environment is adequately protected against pollution due to unwise dumping. "There is little doubt that the New York Apex has reached its capacity to assimilate the tremendous amount of wastes that are disposed therd each year." he continued. "It is essential that the full Congress follow through on this legislation, and take immediate action to close the 12-mile dumpsite and begin repairing the damage caused by this reckless pollution of our marine environment." In 1977, Congress approved similar legislation authored by Hughes which banned the ocean disposal of harmful sewage sludge after December 31. 1981. The intent of that legislation was thwarted. however4 by legal maneuvering by a handful of municipalities in the New York/New Jersey area. •'More than 250 municipalities have complied with this Congressional mandate to end the ocean dumping of harmful materials," Hughes said. "We must not turn our backs on a decade of progress in protecting the marine environment by allowing a kjandful of ocean dumpers to spill millions of % tons of waste into the oceans each year, simply because it is the cheapest disposal alternative." Although just a fewmunicipalities, including New York City, still dump in the ocean, he noted, the amount of harmful materials now disposed are more than double the

amounts disposed 10 years ( ago. t Huges said there is ( strong scientific evidence < that ocean dumping has < significantly altered the i ecology of a large area just I off the New Jersey coast. I He said State officials are < greatly concerned about the unacceptably high levels of PCBs and other toxic materials which are now appearing in several species of fish taken in these coastal waters. In addition, he said, hun-

dreds of acres of shellfish grounds have been closed due to bacterial and chemical contamination, and New Jersey's tourism and fishing industries face the constant threat of fish resulting from ocean dumping.
