EJ Law Hearing: Van Keuren – Jersey City

On April 28, there will be a hearing in Jersey City for the Van Keuren proposed site. Van Keuren would operate as a waste transfer station and materials recovery facility. The facility is arguing that although they will contribute to disproportionate impact and adverse stressors of the surrounding OBC, they have a compelling public interest in regards to their inclusion in the NJSEA, ability to support waste transfer from housing development, and job creation.

NJEJA and Earthjustice have been working closely to review their EJIS and supporting material, and find very little compelling public interest in this situation.
