Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 2:90-2.11
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) Stream protection which reduces erosion or the pollution of water from agricultural activity may be applied to specific problem areas on small streams or lakes located on or adjacent to farmland where the bank is subject to damage from livestock or where sediment or runoff containing pollutants constitutes a significant hazard to water quality.
(b) The following types of practices are approved for stream protection:
1.
Permanent fencing to protect banks from damage by domestic livestock. Cost-sharing
may be authorized for fencing as a single eligible component where it is the most
practical solution to the problem, or for repair of fencing where damaged by
flooding or other natural disaster.
2.
Planting trees, shrubs, or perennial grass cover as filter strips or buffer zones
along banks.
3. To provide controlled
access to water for livestock.
4. To
install livestock crossings that will retard sedimentation and pollution. The
installation of livestock crossings is limited to small streams. Where required,
permits must be obtained by the applicant from appropriate authorities before the
practice will be approved.
5. Impact on
wildlife, trout production and maintenance, shellfish growing waters, and other
environmental factors will be considered when designing the practice.
(c) The practice shall be maintained for a minimum of eight years following calendar year of installation.
