with committee amendments

 

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

 

DATED: JUNE 12, 1997

 

      The Assembly Environment, Science and Technology Committee favorably reports Assembly Resolution No. 137 with committee amendments. 

      This resolution condemns the United States Army Corps of Engineers' proposed plan to dispose of toxic dredged materials in upland disposal sites located in Bergen County and declares this option to be unacceptable. The resolution further implores the Corps to fully explore other disposal alternatives and to make exclusive use of these alternatives when contemplating the future disposal of contaminated dredged materials.

      The committee amendments made technical corrections to the resolution.
