In an attempt to save five "pristine" waterways in S.J. from "creeping pollution," environmental groups petitioned the DEP to widen the buffer zone along the Toms River to 300 feet --- the same size buffer zone that is supposedly in place along the rivers in "The Pinelands." If the DEP does not acquiesce, the group(s) plan to file petitions to widen the buffer zones "...to protect the Great Egg Harbor River in Atlantic and Gloucester counties; the Salem River in Salem county; Cedar Creek, on the border of Lacey and Berkeley townships; and Oldmans Creek in Gloucester and Salem counties."

The reaction of the representative for the "...Builders League of South Jersey. 'Where's the science? It's great to have a press conference, but without the science to back it up, I question the need for it.'”
Van Osten said the buffers could also increase New Jersey's already-high housing costs.
“Every one of those new rules that is implemented, there is a cost ... to follow the rule,” he said. “Obviously, if you're taking more ground that you can't build on, it drives up the rest of the buildable ground and the price goes up.”
Waaaaa, the sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!
Move to Montana, Bozo, I understand that there is plenty of space to build there --- and other ecosystems to ruin!!!:bang:
Clean water is (or will become S.J.'s most expensive resource), and the supply is rapidly dwindling, due to overbuilding, and the building of "mega--monoliths" of GREED, such as the Borgata, in places that do not (and cannot) support their "environmental costs."
NOTE: T. Bone Pickens has switched from oil to water (No kidding!): He now owns several rivers in the West...
