The Shamong Township Council and Pinelands Commission have been going back and forth concerning a storm water management plan for the soccer complex. The Pinelands Commission originally wanted the township to put a plan in place according to today’s standards versus 1990s’ standards when a contractor originally worked on the complex.
“That’s like a Cadillac versus a Chevy,” Sue Onorato, township administrator said.
However, the Pinelands Commission has agreed to let the township prepare a storm water management plan according to the 1990s’ standard.
“That is a good, positive result and should ease burden on township,” Deputy Mayor Sean Gray said in an email.

Shamong Township and surrounding areas have been experiencing home break-ins and burglaries. The burglars are gaining access to the abandoned homes, disconnecting the electricity so the homes don’t flood and stealing the copper piping. Similar break-ins have occurred in Tabernacle and Southampton.
The township is asking that if anyone sees anything to please call the police. If you are able to get a description of the car or people that is helpful also, but only if it is safe to do that.
