The following letter to Gov. Chris Christie, written by former Holmdel Mayor Ernest Cote, now a resident of Asbury Park, was distributed to the media on June 15. Cote was mayor in 1992 at a time when the Township Committee allowed limited sewering of the AT&T Bell Labs site, now known as the Alcatel-Lucent property. Governor Christie, The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) is, inexplicably, considering adding the entirety (470+ acres) of the former Holmdel AT&T Bell Labs site to the sewer service area of the Bayshore Regional Sewage Authority (BRSA). In support of this irrational proposition, and in a selfish attempt to balloon the value of its land, Alcatel-Lucent (the French company that now owns the property) …

William Parkinson said to not include the Bell Labs properties in the sewer service area would be "unjust."
The real estate manager of the Alcatel-Lucent company read a statement for the record at the NJDEP public hearing on June 6. In it, he said the company maintains that its property was always supposed to be included in a sewer service area.
Cote refutes Alcatel-Lucent's claim that Holmdel always intended to include the 475-acre property in sewer service plan.
Former township Mayor and Councilman Ernest Cote returned to Holmdel politics Monday night to refute Alcatel-Lucent's claim that the township always intended to include the 475-Bell Labs tract in a sewer service area. Cote appeared as one of 22 people who gave public commentary to the NJDEP against proposed changes to the county wastewater management plan which would put several undeveloped Holmdel areas, such as Alcatel-Lucent, into a sewer service area. He said he would know what actually happened because he was mayor when the AT&T Corporation, the coporate predecessor to Alcatel-Lucent -- negotiated terms with the township and the Bayshore Regional Sewerage Authority for two pumping stations and 21,000 feet of sewer line. Cote, a …

A petition drive to be held outside Thursday’s Township Committee Meeting
Concerned Holmdel residents will launch a petition drive at tonight’s Township Committee [May 19] meeting to support the governing body’s fight against the NJ Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) plan to allow the entire Lucent and Garden State Arts Center tracts to be sewered. The petitions will be presented to the DEP at its June 6 public hearing in Manalapan. “The Township Committee negotiated in good faith with the DEP and the County,” said Mayor Patrick Impreveduto. “At the 11th hour, the DEP reversed itself and opened up the entire tracts to sewer service.” In 2001, the DEP and Monmouth County Board of Freeholders took over authority for municipal wastewater management plans, which include maps delineating where sewer …
