1. Requirements for all individual permits at N.J.A.C. 7:7A-10.2;

2. For a non-water dependent activity, the requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:7A-10.3, except if the activity disturbs only State open waters that are not special aquatic sites; and

3. For a non-water dependent activity in an exceptional resource value wetland or trout production water, the requirements at N.J.A.C. 7:7A-10.4.

(b) The Department shall not consider a mitigation proposal in determining whether an individual permit will be issued for a project.

An applicant shall not segment a project or its impacts by applying for general permit authorization for one portion of the project and applying for an individual permit for another portion of the project. Similarly, an applicant shall not segment a project or its impacts by separately applying for individual permits for different portions of the same project.

(d) In some cases, a regulated activity that requires an individual permit and is located in an area under the jurisdiction of the Pinelands Commission also requires approval by the Pinelands Commission, in accordance with the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP).
