LAKEWOOD — An Ocean County Superior Court judge has given Rabbi Chaim Abadi 30 days to remove materials from a Vermont Avenue dump site or pay $1,000 for each day the religious items remain buried there.
For two years, Abadi of Miller Road and the state Department of Environmental Protection have been battling over the dump site. The DEP has ordered the rabbi to remove the buried religious items because the agency contends it could contaminate a nearby township drinking well.
Thousands of bags are buried in two sites, one in Lakewood and another in Jackson, and Abadi was ordered by Judge Craig L. Wellerson to relocate them to an appropriate dump site. Abadi’s 30 days began as of July 27.
