Two environmental experts are recommending that the Mill Pond be dredged due to sediment contamination.

Engineer Richard Chapin and Princeton Hydro LLC Vice President Mark Gallagher spoke on the issue during a May 19 meeting attended by local residents and representatives of the state Department of Environmental Protection. Members of the citizens advocacy group Milltowners for a Sensible Ford Avenue Redevelopment, the Lawrence Brook Watershed Partnership and Edison Wetlands Association organized the meeting to discuss the results of tests on fish in the pond, which is adjacent to the 22-acre former Michelin Tire Co. site on Ford Avenue.
