I can't thank you guys enough ! I am just following in the foot steps of others, but felt like it had to be taken up a notch (since I'm not getting any younger)
I did write a proposal to F&G asking trout stocking be continued to the town of Manville and that the upper reaches get fall stocking. Won't hear anything on that till 2018. There is a TON of stuff going on with the Raritan river, not just clean ups. I guess it all boils down to "if you see something, say something"
Glad things are looking up on the Passaic also.
Just ONE of the things going on right now:
NOAA and other trustees have prepared a draft restoration plan that proposes removing the Weston Mill Dam on the Millstone River, and conducting analysis and design studies to improve fish passage at the Island Farm Weir on the Raritan River. Removal of the Weston Mill Dam would restore habitat for fish and other in-river trust resources injured by long-term releases related to the site. We are accepting public comments on this plan until June 10, 2016.

Please include “American Cyanamid Public Comment” in the subject line. Written comments received and the trustees’ responses to those comments, whether in the form of plan revisions or written explanations, will be summarized in the Final Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment.
NOAA continues to work with the lead cleanup agency and the other trustees to evaluate cleanup and restoration efforts that would fully compensate the public for any additional potential injuries to natural resources.
