The Clog just received word from Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper, that the dredging of the Delaware River will now not begin until Feb. 26 at the earliest. It was to start this week, as decided by Judge Sue Robinson, who, at the end of January, denied the state of Delaware's injunction against the Army Corps of Engineers to prevent a part of the project from moving forward until state permits were obtained. "For those who oppose the project in the first instance, the time for that fight has long passed," Robinson wrote.
Well, maybe it hasn't.
The Delaware Riverkeeper Network, the National Wildlife Federation, Clean Water Action, the Delaware Nature Society and the New Jersey Environmental Federation filed an appeal at the beginning of this week, asking that the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals halt the project, and it seems to be working, for now. The plan was to start work this week on "Reach C" of the dredging project, which would eventually deepen the Delaware River channel for a stretch of 100 miles, from Philadelphia to the Delaware Bay.

Hey Bob, Do you actually anticipate getting a job from the dredging? If so, shoot me an e-mail at holly.otterbein@citypaper.net. I'd love to talk to you about it.
