U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews, D-N.J said today he plans to ask President Barack Obama to block federal funding for a dredging project that would deepen the Delaware River by five feet and calls for the temporary deposit of sediment in New Jersey. In June, officials from the Philadelphia Regional Port Authority and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers signed an agreement to partner in deepening the river from 40 to 45 feet.
