INTERIOR REQUESTSThese projects, listed alphabetically by name of the requesting organization, will invest in infrastructure and environmental improvements in the state of New Jersey.
National Heritage Area Feasibility Study for the South Jersey Bayshore
This funding will further preliminary studies that have shown the South Jersey Bayshore area's natural, historic and agricultural resources to be nationally significant. A large coalition of environmental, historic and cultural organizations have made it a priority to determine the feasibility of including the Bayshore in the National Heritage Area Program in view of the economic and societal benefits inherent in such a designation. Residents of Cape May, Cumberland, Salem & Gloucester counties would benefit from a heightened sense of community, the ability to preserve significant landscapes for future generations and a stimulus for economic growth through environmental, agricultural and historic tourism.
High-Rate Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Disinfection Demonstration Bayonne Municipal Utilities Authority
In collaboration with New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Wet Weather Flow Research Program in Edison the Bayonne Municipal Utilities Authority will deploy its decommissioned primary wastewater treatment plant as a test-bed facility to conduct a national demonstration/pilot project for the evaluation of new and improved high-rate disinfection technologies for the control of pathogens in wet weather flows. The evaluation is designed to satisfy the intent of national and state CSO control policies and mandates, and will demonstrate that high-rate disinfection will be lower cost and greater effectiveness than conventional disinfection.
Rainwater Infiltration/Inflow Sanitary Sewer Overflow Elimination Project Bergen County Utilities Authority
The Bergen County Utilities Authority collects sewage via 1,500 miles of municipal sewers and conveys same for treatment at its Water Pollution Control Facilities. The proposed project will provide much-needed capacity for the sewer system in an effort to reduce rainwater infiltration and minimize and/or eliminate sanitary sewer overflows. Requested: $1,000,000
Water Line Replacements Borough of Allentown Due to the age and deteriorated condition of the Borough's water system there are many water main segments that are substandard and require critical upgrades to ensure reliable water service. Proposed upgrades will allow for an expandable automatic operation of the facility which should result in the potential for less failures and shutdowns and a more reliable control for full compliance with drinking water standards. Requested: $1,100,000
Sanitary Sewer Collection System Upgrades Borough of Avalon Video inspections revealed that significant upgrades must be made to the Borough's sanitary sewer collection system. The funding will be used for the replacement of deteriorated sanitary sewer mains and pipes at various locations in the Borough.
Phase I Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Borough of Bergenfield The existing sanitary sewer system is approximately 80 years old and in need of major repairs.

The new infrastructure will help to increase capacity and will help to improve water quality in the Hackensack River by reducing pollutants. Requested: $662,500
Slipline the North Avenue Trunk Sewer Borough of Dunellen The North Avenue Trunk Sewer is approximately one-half mile long and is a key portion of the borough's 87,000 linear feet of clay sanitary sewer pipe. Much of this pipe is nearly 100 years old and is in constant danger of collapsing or failing. The requested funding will be used to slipline the pipe which is a cost effective and efficient method to rehabilitate pipe. The will help to eliminate the need for costlier emergency repairs and will prevent sewer leakages. Requested: $275,000
Creating a Passaic River Greenway in Elmwood Park, NJ Borough of Elmwood Park The requested funding will be used to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the conditions around the Passaic River on Elmwood Park's western boundary to identify problems related to erosion, invasive species, water quality, and other intrusions.

This will include replacing/lining various sanitary sewer mains, chemical root treatment and grouting of pipe joints and rehabilitating various manholes within the entire basin. The project goal is to reduce inflow and infiltration into the sanitary sewer system which will reduce overall operating costs and thus have a positive financial impact on the Borough and its residents. The Basin is located adjacent to the Shrewsbury River. By rehabilitating this Basin, it will reduce the potential for a failure within this portion of the system and thus further protect the Shrewsbury River and its natural resources. Requested: $330,000
Dupont Avenue Drainage Improvements Borough of Hopatcong The funds for this project will be used to install a new storm water conveyance system to control surface water runoff along Dupont Avenue in the Borough of Hopatcong.

Commercial Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements City of New Brunswick This funding will pay for the installation of a seven block stretch of storm sewer system along Commercial Avenue. Commercial Avenue is a critical connector for travelers going east and west from Rt.18. It is also adjacent to Cook/Douglass Campuses of Rutgers University. This seven block stretch has never had a storm sewer system; consequently, water ponds or runs off onto private property until it evaporates. It causes dangerous conditions when it freezes in the winter. Requested: $550,000
Cedar Grove Water Reservoir Project City of Newark This funding will be used for the improvement of the Cedar Grove Water reservoir. This reservoir receives treated water from Newark's Pequannock Supply and a portion of Newark's share of Wanaque Supply from an inter-connection with the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission. The reservoir is critical for demand equalization as well as emergency reserve & fire fighting. Considering this finished water reservoir is open to the atmosphere, USEPA and NJDEP have mandated that the reservoir be covered to avoid water degradation and the potential for contamination. Requested: $3,600,000
Restoring the Raceway System at the Great Falls National Park City of Paterson When Alexander Hamilton saw the Great Falls in Paterson he saw water power to build a nation. Paterson became one of the first industrial cities in the United States and part of the innovative process to assist the manufacturing companies was the creation of a series of raceways, which carried water from the Passaic River to the growing industries that produced locomotives, Colt revolvers, and ultimately the fabric, that gave Paterson the name Silk City. By the middle of the 20th century, many of the firms disappeared and the raceways fell into blight and decay. However, now Great Falls is part of the National Park System and there is a tremendous effort to restore the area. The funding for this project will be used to identify appropriate solutions to the park's many and varied problems. This includes leaking, re-landscaping, removal of invasive species, re-engineering of water inflow, and future management of the system.
Water Infrastructure Improvements City of Perth Amboy The requested funding will be used to rehabilitate aging and failing sewer infrastructure including sewer main lining along Fayette Street and First Street. Inspections show these mains are cracking, have loose joints, and show signs of inflow and infiltration. If not rectified, Perth Amboy's water infrastructure deficiencies may infiltrate the groundwater supply and render the water supply unsafe. Moreover, if any of these lines were to be taken out of service, Perth Amboy would be unable to produce an uninterrupted supply of water (both drinking and wastewater) to satisfy the demand of residents and for fire protection. Requested: $1,000,000
