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.
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $5 million from the General Fund to the Department of Environmental Protection for grants-in-aid to Cranford Township for flood control projects, specifically for the Cranford Northeast Quadrant Flood Control Project. This project aims to mitigate flooding by including the construction of a pumping station to move stormwater into the Rahway River, improvements to storm sewers, the development of wetland data, and the elevation of existing earthen dikes along the Rahway River. This funding is a new appropriation, distinct from a previous $3.25 million appropriation in 2000 that was never used and was instead returned to the state's general fund to address a budget deficit.
