S 4034 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides that potable water well construction projects on preserved farms are eligible to receive soil and water conservation grants from SADC.

This bill (S 4034) expands eligibility for soil and water conservation grants from New Jersey's State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) to include potable water well construction projects on preserved farmland. It directly affects landowners enrolled in state farmland preservation programs or holding development easements on their agricultural land. The key change adds "potable water well construction" to the existing list of eligible projects (like irrigation systems and erosion controls) under Section 17 of the Farmland Preservation Act. To qualify, projects must be part of a conservation plan approved by local soil conservation districts and maintained for at least three years.
