Alternate Format: Adobe Acrobat [pdf 356 Kb]

The NJDEP has designated eight properties along the back channel of the Delaware River as a Brownfield Development Area to provide the support needed to successfully remediate and reuse a significantly underutilized area in the Cramer Hill neighborhood of Camden. The Cramer Hill neighborhood has beautiful vistas of the Delaware River of which the community would like to take full advantage by planning for open space along the river with passive recreational uses. In addition, the community would like to provide residential opportunities along the river to take advantage of the waterfront environment.
