Great News for the Barnegat Bay!
The NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is telling Oyster Creek power plant to clean up its act.
The Oyster Creek nuclear power plant, owned by Exelon Corporation, is one reason that the Barnegat Bay -- an ecological treasure that spans much of the Jersey Shore -- is rapidly dying. The power plant's antiquated cooling system sucks up water from the bay, killing billions of fish, turtles and other aquatic creatures every year, and discharges superheated and polluted water which contaminates the bay.
After 10 years of delay, the DEP has finally enforced the law and proposed a draft permit that requires Exelon to build a closed loop cooling system that will significantly reduce the amount of water the plant needs to draw from the bay. This improved system will dramatically reduce the harmful impacts to aquatic life and lead to a healthier Barnegat Bay.
But the fight is not over yet. Exelon is fighting the decision, claiming that the plant's impact on the shore is minor.
Be sure to mark your calendars!
The DEP will hold public hearings regarding the draft permit:
*** Wednesday, Feb. 24, 1-4pm & 7-9pm (or end of testimony)
Lacey Township Municipal Building
818 West Lacey Road, Forked River
***Wednesday, March 3, 1-4pm (or end of testimony)
DEP Public Hearing Room, 401 East State Street, Trenton.
The DEP will also accept written public comments until March 15. Comments may be sent to Pilar Patterson, Chief of the Bureau of Surface Water Permitting, P.O. Box 029; Trenton, NJ 08625.
Please attend the hearings in support of the Bay!
