More info in dredging: this is a Federal EPA project to clean up contaminants.
One stretch of the Passaic River in Lyndhurst has high levels of PCBs, mercury and dioxin — utterly toxic and dangerous health hazards. That’s why the EPA made the cleanup project a priority.
Once the sediment is removed, treated and sent out of state, a protective cap will be placed over the 5.6-acre excavated area. All work will be done from the barges on the river to minimize impact to the park and surrounding community. Air and water quality will be monitored during the work. The $20 million cleanup project is being paid for by 70 companies considered potentially responsible for the contamination.
