Waste dumping fight delays Atantic Ocean discharge plan
U S District Court in Philadelphia issued a temporary restraining order at the urging of Rep Charles Sandman halting the proposed 3.5 million gallon disposal of toxic industrial wastes from the former Revere Chemical Co plant into an Army Corps of Engineers dump site 43 miles off Cape May. The Stop Ocean Dumping Association led residents in Cape May County in fearing beach and fish life contamination as the waste would be trucked to Philadelphia then barged out to sea. A federal effort seeks $15,000 to extend the dump 35 miles further out beyond the continental shelf near Wildwood, while Judge Harold K Wood weighs a permanent injunction. The suit labels the wastes acid toxic materials and deleterious substances.
