Daily News | After two years and $23M, Camden County’s most costly environmental project comes to a close
Just a few years ago, Camden County’s Newton Lake was clogged by silt as it slogged through multiple towns, and its depth had dropped to two feet or less in some areas.spread through the muck below as the plant flowered in yellow above, cutting off oxygen and sunlight. Fish dwindled. Boats couldn’t cut through.
Peters Creek, the tributary that forms Oaklyn’s boundary with Audubon Park, was also dredged as part of the project, as was Nichols Pond and a second pond, both in Collingswood.“Our group and the neighbors are glad that the lake was dredged, and that it’s pretty much over,” said Lorraine Price, who acted as a citizen watchdog of the project through the Newton Creek Watershed Association, and often pressed officials on their plans.
The lake was created by damming wetlands that were a tributary of Newton Creek in the 1930s as part of a federal Works Projects Administration. Officials say the lake was on its way to returning to wetlands.
