New Jersey will allow construction of a backup power plant at one of the country’s largest sewage treatment facilities.
The facility dumped some 840 million gallons of raw sewage into waterways when Superstorm Sandy knocked out electricity in 2012 .
Environmental and community activists have fought the project, hoping the environmental law would kill it.
The decision is the first major decision issued under an environmental justice law.
