Section 7:36-10.4 - Dredging of a pond, lake, or segment of a stream or river

(a) The dredging of a pond, lake, or segment of a stream or river is eligible for Green Acres funding as a development project if:

1. The dredging would enhance public recreational use of the water body and surrounding parkland or support natural resource protection;

2. The pond, lake, or segment of a stream or river is held by the local government unit;

3. The local government unit provides public access to the water area;

4. Green Acres has not previously funded the dredging of the pond, lake, or segment of stream or river;

5. The local government unit incorporates into the dredging project long-term corrective features such as on-site sedimentation basins or other methods of maintaining the depth of the dredged area; and

6. The local government unit plans its project in consultation with the appropriate Soil Conservation District and obtains all necessary permits.

(b) The local government unit shall carry out all dredging and disposal of dredging spoils in conformance with all applicable State and Federal laws. As set forth in 7:36-25.2, in some cases, the disposal of dredging spoils on parkland requires approval as a diversion of parkland under N.J.A.C. 7:36-26.
