Section 7:13-5.3 - Duration of a verification

(a) Except as provided at (b) below, a verification is valid for five years from the date of issuance.

(b) A verification is valid for 10 years from the date of issuance where the verification is issued concurrently with an individual permit that is valid for 10 years, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:13-10.2(b).

(c) A verification can be automatically reissued one time with the issuance of a permit for a regulated activity that relies on the verification, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:13-5.4.

(d) A verification can be extended one time for five years pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:13-22.3(c), provided that it was not previously reissued under N.J.A.C. 7:13-5.4 or issued concurrently with a 10-year individual permit as described in (b) above.

(e) A person who is issued a verification pursuant to this subchapter shall be entitled to rely on the determination of the Department, concerning the presence, absence, or extent of flood hazard areas, riparian zones, or floodways for the term specified at (a) through (d) above, unless the Department determines that the verification is based on inaccurate or incomplete information, in which case the Department may void the original verification and issue a new verification reflecting the actual conditions on the site. For example, the verification may be revised to reflect additional flood hazard areas or riparian zones identified after verification issuance; or if a threatened or endangered species habitat is disclosed or discovered after the verification was issued, the Department may correct the width of the riparian zone.
