Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 7:2-13.2 - Application for vessel berth permits at State marinas

(a) Applications for a vessel berth permit at State marinas shall be categorized by the size of the berth for which a permit application is submitted and, except for the Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina, whether the applicant is a resident of New Jersey or a non-resident. The New Jersey resident category shall have complete priority over the non-resident category listing of applicants for the same berth size category at each State marina except for the Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina.

(b) Applications for a berth permit shall be submitted on forms available from the State Park Service and shall be accepted year-round at the marina office at the specific State marina in which a berth permit is requested. All berth permit applications shall be:

1. Completed and signed by the person(s) in whose name(s) the permit will be issued;

2. Accepted in the name of an individual(s) only. No application shall be accepted in the name of a corporation or partnership;

3. Completed, signed and not removed from the marina office at the specific State marina in which a berth permit is requested; and

4. Except for the Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina, accompanied by a New Jersey drivers license as proof of residency when the applicant claims to be a New Jersey resident.

i. If an applicant claiming to be a New Jersey resident demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Superintendent or designee that the applicant does not have a New Jersey drivers license for good and sufficient reason, the State Park Service reserves the right to require other proofs that the applicant is a resident of New Jersey.

(c) Berth permits shall be issued in the name(s) of the persons that signed the original berth permit application and assignments shall be made from priority waiting lists based on the chronological order of the date on which each berth permit application is completed and received at the marina office at the specific State marina in which a berth permit is requested. A priority waiting list shall be maintained for and prominently posted for public review at each State marina. Except for the Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina, waiting lists shall be maintained in two categories: New Jersey resident and non-resident for each berth size. Waiting lists shall be maintained at the Senator Frank S. Farley State Marina for each berth size without regard to residency.

(d) Annually, in January, an applicant must confirm that he or she wants to remain on the applicant waiting list. Written confirmation shall be submitted to the marina office, which is open seven days a week between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. (except legal holidays and emergency closing of offices). The applicant shall sign the confirmation and submit the confirmation by appearing in person at the marina office, or by mailing the confirmation form to the marina office. Mailed confirmation forms must be postmarked no later than January 31, and shall include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. The State Park Service is not responsible for misdirected or lost mail. A telephone call, fax, or e-mail will not be accepted. Failure to notify the marina office in accordance with this subsection shall result in cancellation of the application and removal of the applicant from the waiting list.

(e) Applicants purchasing a vessel of a different size category than that for which application was made who desire a berth for the new vessel shall submit an application for a berth in the category of the new vessel and shall be placed as a new applicant on the list of that category.

(f) If, for any reason, an applicant refuses or fails to accept two offered berth permits in accordance with the procedure in 7:2-13.3(b)6, the applicant's permit application shall be cancelled and the applicant's name shall be removed from the waiting list.
