(a) Developments for recreation and conservation purposes, as defined at N.J.A.C. 7:36-2.1, are eligible for Green Acres funding. A development project may include, for example:

1. Construction of a facility that will support the increased public use or enjoyment of outdoor recreation and conservation land, such as a facility for outdoor games and sports, winter sports, boating, picnicking, fishing, biking, hiking, swimming, camping, nature and historic interpretation, or similar activities;

2. Lighting for an existing recreational or conservation facility;

3. A parking area that supports an outdoor recreation or conservation project;

4. A restroom or comfort facility, park administrative office, maintenance and storage area, or other similar structure that supports outdoor recreation or conservation;

5. A structure that partially encloses an outdoor recreation facility;

6. Restoration or rehabilitation of a facility that was developed 20 or more years before the date of the nonprofit's application with funding from Green Acres or under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, 16 U.S.C. § 4601, the Urban Park and Recreation Recovery Program, 16 U.S.C. § 2501, or any other Federal or State funding program administered through Green Acres. A facility that was developed with such funding fewer than 20 years before the date of the application may be eligible under this paragraph if the nonprofit demonstrates that the restoration or rehabilitation is necessary due to normal wear and tear on the facility and not to abuse, neglect, or vandalism;

7. Other development that supports the use of an existing recreation or conservation facility held by the nonprofit, provided that the existing recreation or conservation facility shall be subject to the Green Acres restrictions applicable to funded parkland upon completion of the supporting facility developed with Green Acres funding; and

8. Dredging of a pond, lake, or segment of a stream or river consistent with N.J.A.C. 7:36-21.4.
