Therefore, it is important to closely examine a proposed project relative to the sensitive areas on site. Special areas can be rudimentarily determined using the Department’s online mapping service, NJ-GeoWeb. In some cases, dredging activities are regulated by the Department’s Office of Dredging and Sediment Technology and the Division of Land Use Regulation. Therefore, authorization(s) from both entities may be required.ĭredging may result in impacts to “special areas” that are regulated by the Department. Dredging is the removal of wetlands, State open water soils, or sediments through the use of mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic tools in an effort to restore or maintain original bottom contours of waterbodies.
