The project involved rebuilding the dam with plastic timber, creating a small handicap access fishing pier, dredging the pool to improve habitat value, and fish stocking during the season. Camden Greenways Project NRCS is actively involved in the Camden Greenways group, dedicated to creating 50 miles of greenways along the Cooper River, Newton Creek and the Delaware River Waterfront. The New Jersey Conservation Partnership helps growing communities protect their soil resources from erosion. Through the State Soil Conservation Committee s erosion and sediment control regulatory program, the Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Soil Conservation Districts review and certify proposed development plans in District 1 for soil erosion control before and after construction. They also review plans for stormwater control and issue permits.
Local inspectors check compliance to ensure natural resource conservation on development sites.
