Unfortunately no. The Dundee dam keeps the tons of dioxin, PCBs, and other contaminants in the Passaic River mud from being dispersed upriver by the tide any farther north than Garfield. Without it, the stretch of river from Garfield to Paterson would be just as polluted as the stretch from Garfield to the Newark Bay Complex. It is a shame really, but the lower Passaic is the most polluted river in the state and there are billions and billions of dollars of chemical remediation work that must be completed before the Dundee could come down.

Any chance the Rahway River dams could come down?
