N.J. State Commission of Investigation
Union Lake 1986-88
The Commission investigated the process by which the State Green Acres
program acquired Union Lake in Cumberland County.
The March 1988 report concluded that the Department of Environmental
Protection failed to follow good management and internal communications
procedures in taking title to the lake, which was contaminated with
arsenic and held in place by a deteriorated dam. Revised acquisition
procedures and a successful state lawsuit resulted from the Commission's
findings.
