(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 nonprofit;

3. The nonprofit 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 nonprofit incorporates into the dredging project long-term corrective features such as on-site sedimentation basins and other methods of maintaining the depth of the dredged area; and

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

(b) The nonprofit 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.
