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

This bill appropriates $26,140,000 from the General Fund to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for dredging navigational waterways and related disposal projects. It directly funds 25 specific dredging projects (e.g., Double Creek, Ocean County; Shark River Back Channel) and $4 million for non-designated waterways used for recreational/residential boating (e.g., Hancy's Pond, Manahawkin Creek). The funds cover dredging, material disposal, and stabilization of sites, with unspent money to be reallocated to other navigational channels. This is a funding measure, not a new policy, addressing long-unfunded dredging needs critical for navigation and boating access.
