Environmental groups and some New Jersey lawmakers issued new criticism on Tuesday of the state’s proposed $225 million pollution settlement with Exxon Mobil Corporation, one day after the state made the text of the deal public.

The State Department of Environmental Protection posted the agreement on its website on Monday, beginning a 60-day period for public comment, after which the deal is to be submitted to a judge for approval.

The state’s environmental commissioner, Bob Martin, said in a statement this week that the state had “vigorously litigated this case for the good of the environment and for the people of New Jersey.” The state’s acting attorney general, John J. Hoffman, added that the proposed deal “meets the goals we set for this case, which were to recover an amount certain that fairly and reasonably compensated the state for natural resource damages, and reinforce ExxonMobil’s requirement to clean up” the sites.

Before Monday, critics focused on the decision by the administration of Gov. Chris Christie to accept only a small fraction of the $8.9 billion in damages that New Jersey had been seeking for natural resource damage and loss of use by the public of more than 1,500 acres of wetlands and marshes at refinery sites in Bayonne and Linden.
