Port Authority Urges $56.5-Million In Funds For

N.Y. Harbor Improvements

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the State of New

Jersey, and the City of New York have jointly urged Congress to ap- propriate $56,550,000 for five vital deepwater navigation projects in the

Port during fiscal year 1987. All of the work would be carried out by

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The proposed federal budget allots only $17,300,000 for four of the five pro- jects.

The major portion of the $39,250,000 recommended increase for the bi-state port represents ad- ditional funding sought by local in- terests for the deepening of the Kill

Van Kull and Newark Bay channels to provide an urgently needed initial depth of 40 feet in two years. The port interests are seeking $50 mil- lion for this project instead of the $12 million proposed in the federal budget.

The five projects, with their fed- eral allotments and the recommen- dations of local interests, are:

Kill Van Kull and Newark Bay

Channels—federal budget of $12 million, local interest recommenda- tion of $50 million (construction);

New York Harbor Collection and

Removal of Drift—federal $4.6 mil- lion, local interest $5 million (con- struction);

New York Harbor and Adjacent

Channels—federal $200,000, local $600,000 (study);

Arthur Kill South to Fresh

Kills—federal none, local $250,000 (study);

Arthur Kill Channel—federal $500,000, local $700,000 (study).
