New Jersey, Delaware sue to stop Army Corps river project
New Jersey officials believe the plan to deepen the Delaware River shipping channel devised by the Army Corps of Engineers could expose residents to pollution, and they have filed a lawsuit to block the project. In its lawsuit, New Jersey said the Corps must sample the sediment and secure a state permit before it starts the project. Delaware filed a similar lawsuit last week.
