"EPA, N.J. Agree: 2,112 Waterways Polluted"

"New Jersey faces serious water quality challenges, including sewage pollution, but upgrading old infrastructure can help address them, according to federal officials. On Tuesday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced its approval of New Jersey’s latest list of streams, lakes, rivers, bays and other waters that are considered impaired or threatened by pollutants."



"The 2010 list includes 2,112 cases where a pollutant is impairing, or blemishing, a water body, keeping it from meeting standards for drinking water, swimming and recreation, fishing or other uses, according to an EPA statement."
