Appropriates $26,140,000 for dredging projects and dredged material disposal projects related to navigational waterways.
This bill appropriates $26.14 million to fund dredging and disposal of dredged material for navigational waterways and recreational boating areas in New Jersey. It allocates $22.14 million for specific commercial navigation projects (like Ocean County channels and Monmouth County waterways) and $4 million for recreational/residential boating areas (such as Hancy's Pond and Veeder Lagoon). The funds are directed to the Department of Environmental Protection to address critical dredging needs, including projects previously unfunded due to prior commitments to the Delaware River deepening project. The bill covers 24+ waterway projects across 10 counties, prioritizing both commercial navigation and recreational access.
