Wildwood Landfill Restoration

Two state agencies working on related projects had representatives at the Wednesday, Oct. 11, Board of Commissioners meeting to give presentations on the Wildwood landfill restoration and on the dredging of the state channels in the back bays of the Wildwoods. The Cape May County Herald reports one concern that was discussed was how private boat slip owners might benefit from the dredging project. Scott Douglas from the state Department of Transportation’s Office of Maritime Resources said private slips would not be dredged. The state’s contract with the dredger called for work on the channel only, at a width of about 100 feet, with no dredging outside the contract area.
