NJDEP has provided the opportunity for stakeholder input with regard to its Stormwater and Flood Hazard Area Rules. One major change which is being contemplated is the elimination of the Special Water Resource Protection Area under the Stormwater Rules (the 300-Foot Buffer) and incorporating that concept into the Flood Hazard Area Rules.
With respect to the Flood Hazard Area Rules, a major change proposed will be the elimination of the 150-foot riparian zone for acid-producing deposits.
