The Symposium was a great success thanks to all the presenters and attendees. The Symposium featured the "Lower Passaic River Restoration Project", as well as projects and issues in the upper River and tributary watersheds.  Congressman Bill Pascrell will be giving opening remarks. The heads of three major agencies spoke, giving an update on Passaic Basin issues from their agencies’ perspectives: Alan J. Steinberg, Regional Administrator of USEPA, Aniello L. Tortora, the NY District Commander for the US Army Corps of Engineers, and Lisa P. Jackson, Commissioner of the NJDEP.  The Symposium attracted about 280 participants.
