Default Re: Navigational Hazard unmarked Shark River Inlet

The last time the channels inside of the Rt 71 bridge were dredged was in the 80's
The responsibility is the State Department of Transportation.

There is money already allocated to dredge but there is no place to dewater or take the dewatered dredge to .

Sen Jen Beck and Freeholder Tom Arnone are working hard to make it happen.

Wall township has a place to dewater but won't allow it to be used.

It is a total cluster nut!

They had a press release that 100, 000 cubic yards will be dredged this fall.

That is less than 10% of what needs to be removed so basically it's pissing up wind.

The river is dying and in 20 more year it will be dead unless it's dredged.

Water and silt from as far away as Collingswood circle and Walmart area drains in so everything on the street like dirt leaves oil dog feces etc from the entire area fills in and pollutes the river basin.
