New Jersey Administrative Code
Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Chapter 7 - COASTAL PERMIT PROGRAM RULES
Subchapter 12 - GENERAL WATER AREAS
Section 7:7-12.24 - Miscellaneous uses
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024
(a) Miscellaneous uses are uses of water areas not specifically defined in this section or addressed in the use rules, N.J.A.C. 7:7-15.
(b) Water dependent uses of water areas not identified in the use rules will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis to ensure that adverse impacts are minimized. Non-water dependent uses are discouraged in all water areas.
(c) Rationale: Uses which are not water dependent are discouraged in general water areas. Discouraged uses can only be approved if it can be demonstrated that the proposed development is in the public interest and mitigation for the impact is provided. Water areas are ecologically sensitive areas that provide habitat for a variety of species and therefore the impacts to these areas need to be minimized.
