EFFORTS TO ACQUIRE REMAINING EASEMENTS CONTINUING

TRENTON — Acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Bob Martin announced today that the State has obtained more than 80 percent of the property easements needed to enable construction of shore protection and flood mitigation projects designed to safeguard New Jersey residents against a future hurricane or other significant coastal storm.

In response to the destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy two years ago, as well as the announced availability of federal funding for coastal hurricane and storm damage reduction projects, Governor Chris Christie issued Executive Order No. 140 in September 2013. Among other things, the Executive Order directed the Attorney General\’s Office and DEP to take whatever action was required to obtain property easements that would enable a series of projects involving beach widening and construction of engineered dunes along the New Jersey coast. 

At the time Executive Order 140 was issued, the State needed approximately 2,850 public and private easements. As of today, approximately 2,400 of those easements have been obtained, and vigorous efforts to acquire the remaining 400 easements are continuing.

A Hi-Nella NJ man who pleaded guilty to having unwanted sexual contact with a nuclear plant co-worker was ordered at sentencing today (10/17) to avoid being seen by the woman when he picks up his wife, who still works with the victim at the Salem I nuclear facility.

 

 \”Let’s make it happen,\” Superior Court Judge M. Christine Allen Jackson told defendant Michael J. Ford (DOB 5/30/58) and his attorney, after hearing the victim read an \”impact\” statement in which she said her trustfulness \”has been replaced with fear, suspicion, anger, shame and utter embarrassment.\”

 

 She went into an \”emotional downward spiral\” after the incident that occurred on Route I-295 in Logan Twp. NJ as she drove Ford home from work on 10/25/13, the woman said. The woman’s husband reported Ford’s actions to the New Jersey State Police afterward. Ford no longer works at the plant, but his acts \”continue to haunt me\” she said.

 

 As a first-offender who pleaded guilty to the fourth-degree crime of criminal sexual contact, Ford was sentenced by Judge Allen-Jackson to three years on probation and was required to undergo a psychological evaluation and follow its recommendations.

 

 In addition to the general order that Ford have no contact with the woman or her family, Assistant Gloucester County Prosecutor Michelle Jeneby asked the judge to include a sentencing requirement that Ford change how he picks up his wife after work at the Salem County NJ nuclear plant. \”It’s the fear of seeing him,\” said Jeneby. One afternoon, Ford parked his car one vehicle away from the woman’s car, Jeneby said.

 

Judge Allen-Jackson suggested Ford’s wife walk to another building and parking lot at the end of the day. \”’I’m not trying to make it convenient for Mr. Ford,\” the judge said. \”I want to make it safe for the victim.\”
