There is a resolution on the agenda for a regular meeting of the Bernards Township Committee on April 10. If adopted, it will reduce the security for quarry rehabilitation from about $8.4 million to $3.4 million.
Below is a link to a letter I submitted to the Bernards Township Committee today. In it I urge the committee to not reduce the security. I argue that there is a possibility that substances may leach from the embankments constructed from imported material and adversely affect lake water quality. Funds may be required to resolve this problem.
The lake is filling now. I argue that sampling and testing of the water should be done now and in the future to determine if there is a problem.
To read the letter go here.
