New Jersey is suing a coastal town that repaired beach erosion from a fall storm in defiance of a state order not to do so.
FILE - Mayor Patrick Rosenello stands atop a recently repaired dune in North Wildwood, N.J., on Oct. 25, 2022. New Jersey filed a lawsuit Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2022 suing one of its shore towns that repaired damage from an October storm in defiance of a state order not to do so. NORTH WILDWOOD, N.J. — A sand storm at the Jersey shore is escalating.
A Superior Court judge on Thursday set a Jan. 17 court date to hear the dispute between the state Department of Environmental Protection and North Wildwood. North Wildwood asked New Jersey environmental officials for permission to do an emergency reconstruction of the sand piles.Since then, conditions have only gotten worse in the area, Mayor Patrick Rosenello told The Associated Press.
In court filings, the state said North Wildwood should not be permitted to get away with brazenly disregarding state laws. It also denied that the dune has worsened since October. The DEP on Oct. 7 allowed the city only to place concrete “Jersey barriers” as a temporary protective measure and expressly forbade it from touching the dunes without a detailed review and approval of proper plans and permits.
While most of the Jersey Shore’s 127-mile coastline got replenished beaches in the years after Superstorm Sandy hit in 2012, North Wildwood has not, Rosenello said. The city is part of a proposed multi-town beach project also involving Wildwood, Wildwood Crest and Lower Township.
