DEP Again Settles With DeMarco On Illegal Bogs

Laptop Battery The state this week again settled with former cranberry grower J. Garfield DeMarco over charges that he illegally converted about 22 acres of wetlands into bogs in 1998.

mile property was owned by A.R.DeMarco Enterprises and had been the cranberry farm of the late Anthony R. DeMarco, a son of Italian immigrants who began acquiring bogs in the area in 1940. The DeMarco lands were one of the largest privately owned tracts in New Jersey. It was also one of the largest and most productive cranberry farms in the country.

Thinkpad State Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bradley M. Campbell announced in a news release Thursday that A.R. DeMarco Enterprises Inc. will have the 22 disputed acres restored and pay the state a $400,000 fine.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Microsoft A.R. DeMarco, which is controlled by Burlington County Republican power broker J. Garfield DeMarco, last month sold its 9,400-acre holdings to the New Jersey Conservation Foundation for $12 million.

Laptop Computers In the coming weeks, the foundation will submit to the state a proposal to return those 22 acres, along with the other cranberry bogs it purchased Dec. 31, to wetlands, foundation Executive Director Michelle Byers said.

laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Laptop Computer Byers also said the foundation is pleased that the land will be restored.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."

Desktop Computer "I think it is very positive," she said.

Notebooks The DEP is comfortable with the foundation handling the restoration, said Lisa Jackson, the assistant DEP commissioner for enforcement.

Lenovo The agreement gives DeMarco until Feb. 29 to come up with a restoration plan.

Hard Drive The plan then must be finished in 18 months, with inspections held three years afterward. DeMarco also must place $100,000 in an escrow account or performance bond for the work.

Travelstar In addition, the state said, A.R. DeMarco Enterprises will pay the $400,000 fine in two equal $200,000 payments, with the first due March 1. DeMarco must make the next $200,000 payment by March 1, 2005.

Gateway When a reporter called J. Garfield DeMarco on his cell phone Thursday, the Hammonton resident initially hung up. Called again, he referred questions to his attorney, Anthony Drollas.

Laptop Parts "We're satisfied," Drollas said. "We think the DEP will get a very fair deal, all things considered."

Software DeMarco will pay the fine with money received from the sale, Drollas said.

Hard Drives In 1998, DeMarco's company converted 22 acres of land into working cranberry bogs in Woodland Township, Burlington County, without getting the necessary permits, the state DEP has said.

Electronics In 2000, the state settled with the company, and A.R. DeMarco Enterprises agreed to donate 74 acres in Bass River and Woodland townships outright to the state and restrict another 591 acres in Tabernacle Township from development.

Canon But the deal was scrapped after The Press of Atlantic City reported that the company two months earlier had sold the development rights on the Tabernacle tract to the state for $661,937.

Desktop Computers In 2001, the company applied for and the DEP retroactively granted permits for the 22-acre conversion. The following year the McGreevey administration revoked the permits, citing environmental concerns. DeMarco challenged the revocation in court.

Think Pad While DeMarco fought the state, his industry was taking a beating.

Repair After years of bountiful crop prices, the cranberry industry crashed in the late 1990s. From a high of $66 per 100-pound barrel, prices fell within three years to $10. A.R. DeMarco Enterprises, once the third-largest cranberry operation in the country, stopped harvesting in 2001.

Data Recovery Court filings by J. Garfield DeMarco's brother Mark DeMarco last year painted a grim picture of a company unable to pay its bills while at the same time saddled with extravagant spending.

Cisco The New Jersey Conservation Foundation went down to the wire last year, closing the deal to buy the land Dec. 31 - the last day it was eligible to do so. Foundation Executive Director Byers said this settlement was just a small part of the very complicated deal, which took months to close.

Keyboard Last year the foundation raised $5.2 million in private contributions and secured a low-interest $1.5 million loan from the Open Space Institute. The remaining $6.8 million will be raised and paid out over the following five years, the foundation has said.

Monitor The state DEP also is working with the state Pinelands Commission to secure $600,000 in federal Land and Water Conservation funding, the DEP said in Thursday's release.

Desktop The foundation also plans to raise an additional $3 million to create an endowment for the land's long-term care.
