Save Paramus Wetlands - Important Update
By Mel Fabrikant Friday, September 07, 2007, 08:27 AM EDT
We have learned from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection that they have DENIED the pending stream encroachment and freshwater wetlands applications in relation to "Enchantment at Paramus" as they determined that the project, as submitted, did not meet the requirements of their rules. We applaud them for their hard work and consideration and for rendering this important decision.
This is great news and we thank everybody for their efforts, assistance, and support to date. Proper steps must now be taken to ensure that this 35+ acre parcel of environmentally sensitive land remain in its natural state. The Borough, County, and/or State must, together with other groups and organizations (Meadowalnds Conservation Trust, Green Acres, Bergen County Open Space Trust Advisory Board, etc.), work diligently to see that this land be acquired and protected immediately and maintained as open space!
We will continue to keep everybody posted,
Mark & Ed
