A 4633 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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 to create and run a pilot program that helps counties and municipalities restore streams, improve water quality, reduce flooding, and store carbon in natural areas. The program will provide grants for three projects across the state's southern, central, and northern regions, focusing on smaller waterways and tributaries rather than major rivers. Eligible activities include cleaning streams, stabilizing stream banks, dredging, and restoring historic stream beds, with specific definitions provided for terms like "bank," "sediment," and different water classifications to guide implementation.
