ASSEMBLY, No. 1732

 

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

 

DATED: OCTOBER 28, 1996

 

      The Senate Environment Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 1732 (1R).

        Assembly Bill No. 1732 (1R) appropriates $2,235,928 from the "Stormwater Management and Combined Sewer Overflow Abatement Bond Act of 1989" to the Department of Environmental Protection for the purpose of providing a grant to the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners which are authorized by statute to collect, treat and dispose of sewage for municipalities in parts of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union counties. This bill would provide financing for the cost of the planning of combined sewer overflow abatement projects. This bill is identical to Senate Bill No. 987 as amended by the committee.
