Good morning! Mount Olive Twp in northern NJ shares many infrastructure networks with Roxbury Twp- the site chosen for a new ICE detention center. As you may or may not be aware, Mount Olive Twp has been struggling to get the DEP out here to look at our two failing sewage treatment facilities- both of which are causing hazardous fumes all day and night for more than two years now. One of them sits next to a school building where our children breathe that’s putrid air all day. And now, with an ICE facility that will share those treatment centers- what will happen to our residents? Please urge the DEP to clean up the existing mess, and please fight harder against ICE compounding the problem in our small towns.
