Environmental groups appeal against Delaware dredging
News - February 9, 2010
Journal of Commerce (JOC) reports that five environmental have launched an appeal against a ruling by US District Court Judge, Sue L Robinson, that allows the dredging of the Delaware River to proceed.
Judge Robinson’s ruling denied an earlier injunction brought by the five organizations and the State of Delaware last year to block dredging of the 102 miles of the river’s channel up to the Port of Philadelphia from 40ft to 45ft.
JOC said the five environmental organizations represent local, regional and national organizations and include the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, National Wildlife Federation, New Jersey Environmental Federation, Delaware Nature Society, and Clean Water Action.
In their appeal the environmental groups claim that dredging will harm the environment and hurt the jobs that depend on harvesting the river’s marine and bird life.
