N.J. Admin. Code § 7:25-24.1

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 7:25-24.1 - Scope and authority

This subchapter constitutes the rules of the Department of Environmental Protection governing the leasing of bottom on New Jersey's Atlantic Coast for the culturing of shellfish as authorized by N.J.S.A. 50:1-18 and 50:1-23 through N.J.S.A. 50:1-31. The objective of the leasing program is to provide bottom for use in the planting and cultivating of shellfish, including aquaculture (growout of hatchery reared seed) and layout (wet storage). If bottom will be used for cleansing (relay) activities, its use is subject to the requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:12-9.7 and 7:25-15.1 instead of this subchapter.
