Description

There has been a "dredging machine" operating in Lake Carnegie in front of the boathouse for some weeks, now. It isn't moving, and doesn't appear to be actually dredging. What it seems to be doing is pumping water up to a site near Route One and then the return flow is allowed to flow back into Lake Carnegie.

However, the return flow is whitish in color, smells like petroleum distillates, possibly fracking fluid, and bubbles and froths with "gas," exactly what you would expect with fracking discharge.

The jurisdiction of the lake is Princeton, however the Engineering Department could easily get a response from the state if it is determined that a covert fracking operation is underway in neighboring West Windsor.

The area is the site of three major artesian wells supplying the area with drinking water, and many, many private wells in the neighborhoods between Route One and Princeton Junction.
