Section 7:13-7.7 - Permit-by-rule 7-placement of no more than five cubic yards of landscaping material

(a) Permit-by-rule 7 authorizes the placement of no more than five cubic yards of landscaping material, provided the conditions at N.J.A.C. 7:13-6.7 are met and:

1. The landscaping material is not placed within a floodway;

2. No disturbance is located within 25 feet of any top of bank, unless the project lies adjacent to a lawfully existing bulkhead, retaining wall, or revetment along a tidal water or impounded fluvial water;

3. The landscaping material does not constitute a structure. For example, five cubic yards of stone, topsoil, wood chips, or other landscaping material can be placed under this permit-by-rule but the construction of a building that displaces five cubic yards of flood storage volume cannot;

4. Any clearing, cutting, and/or removal of riparian zone vegetation is limited to actively disturbed areas; and

5. No more than 2,000 square feet of riparian zone vegetation is cleared, cut, or removed.
