Bill Summary

This bill makes a supplemental appropriation to the Department of Environmental Protection to provide Cranford Township in Union County with a grant of $5,000,000 to finance the Cranford Northeast Quadrant Flood Control Project, which includes the following projects: 1) construction of a pumping station to convey storm water into the main channel of the Rahway river; 2) improvements to express and local storm sewers; 3) development of wetland delineation data; and 4) elevation of existing earthen dikes along the Rahway river. While similar legislation appropriating $3,250,000 was enacted in December, 2000 (P.L.2000, c.170), these funds were never utilized, having been subsequently lapsed to the General Fund to help alleviate a State Budget deficit.
