Directs DEP to develop and implement water quality, flood control, and stream restoration pilot program.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create a pilot program providing grants for water quality, flood control, and stream restoration projects across three regions of the state (southern, central, and northern New Jersey). The program will fund specific projects including stream cleaning, bank stabilization, native plantings, rain gardens, and flood plain restoration, with $1 million allocated from the Global Warming Solutions Fund. Projects must follow strict environmental guidelines to protect habitats, maintain natural stream contours, and avoid harming protected species. The DEP must report to the legislature within one year on the projects completed, their costs, and recommendations for future initiatives. This program aims to improve water quality, reduce flooding, and enhance carbon storage in natural areas through targeted environmental restoration efforts.
