Allows municipalities to administer responsibilities of Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act under certain conditions.

This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to apply to the State Soil Conservation Committee to take over administration of the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act (P.L.1975, c.251) within their boundaries. To qualify, a municipality must pass an ordinance designating a local official and comply with committee-established rules, which will cover requirements for the ordinance, official qualifications, and enforcement standards. The committee must create these rules within one year of the bill's enactment. This shifts responsibility from state administration to local municipalities for controlling soil erosion and sedimentation during development projects, providing an alternative to the existing district-based system.
