S 1890 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Appropriates $26,140,000 for dredging projects and dredged material disposal projects related to navigational waterways.

This bill appropriates $26.14 million from the state general fund to fund dredging and disposal of sediment from navigational waterways across New Jersey. It allocates $22.14 million for specific navigational channels (like Double Creek in Ocean County and Shark River Back Channel in Monmouth County) and $4 million for recreational/residential boating waterways (such as Hancy's Pond and Manahawkin Creek) not officially designated as navigational. The funds cover dredging operations and proper disposal of materials to maintain waterway depth and safety. This directly affects coastal communities and boating access in 15+ counties by addressing sediment buildup that impedes navigation.
