Bill > A1720

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to assume responsibility for dredging the waterways providing boat access to lagoon communities in the state, whether officially designated as navigational channels or not. The bill appropriates $6 million to the DEP to establish a list of lagoon communities, create a dredging schedule, and begin the necessary dredging within two years of the bill's effective date. The bill also requires the DEP to establish a maintenance dredging schedule for these waterways to ensure their continued accessibility and environmental integrity.
