- Woodward-Clyde, Wayne, NJ (United States)
- Public Service Electric and Gas, Newark, NJ (United States). Estuary Enhancement Program
In July 1994, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued a final New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit for Public Service Electric and Gas Company`s (PSE and G) Generating System. This permit included several special conditions that addressed concerns about loss of aquatic organisms resulting from the Station`s once-through cooling system and the potential impacts to the sustained health of the Delaware Estuary ecosystem. One special condition was to restore, enhance, and preserve a minimum of 8,000 acres of degraded wetlands along the Delaware Estuary. PSE and G`s Estuary Enhancement Program is the largest salt marsh restoration project in the US. This project will significantly increase the number of acres of health, salt marsh along the Delaware River, will greatly increase the available habitat for fish production, and will increase the green space available to the public for varied recreational and educational uses.
