After overseeing the removal of more than 8
million cubic yards of household and vegetative debris and sand from
the streets, the State of New Jersey has initiated an intensive
effort to remove Superstorm Sandy debris from our tidal waterways.
The State hired three contractors with experience in disaster
recovery, debris removal, vessel salvage and coastal restoration.
They will remove debris including cars, buildings, docks,
boardwalks, abandoned vessels, pilings, household items, trees,
accumulated sand and many other materials from coastal and tidal
waterways from Bergen County to Cape May and up the Delaware Bay to
the Delaware Memorial Bridge in Salem County. The affected waters of
the State have been divided into 11 zones (map:
www.nj.gov/dep/special/hurricane-sandy/docs/waterway-debris-mgt-zones.pdf
),
and each contractor has been assigned to zones for debris removal.
The State also hired a Project Manager to ensure that the debris
removal work is on schedule, in compliance with laws and consistent
with FEMA reimbursement requirements. The State is seeking Public
Assistance Grants from FEMA to fund the waterway debris removal
project.
