Camden County is investing $400 million in infrastructure projects to reduce sewage and stormwater overflows into local waterways, aiming to improve water quality and mitigate flooding. The initiative includes separating combined sewers, implementing green stormwater infrastructure, and rehabilitating aging systems, with a goal of a 90% reduction in overflows.

The City of Camden issued a cease operations order to EMR, a scrap metal recycling company, following a two-alarm fire at its Delaware River facility. EMR had voluntarily paused operations at the site, and local officials called for full shutdown due to repeated fires and public nuisance concerns.
