Section 7:45-2.3 - Scope of review for approvals, authorizations and waivers

(a) In the Review Zone, the Commission shall review governmental and private projects that have the potential to cause an adverse impact on the Park including drainage, aesthetic, historic and ecological impacts. In addition, the Commission shall approve all State actions that impact on the Park. Each project and State action will be reviewed for its conformance with the objectives of the Master Plan and with the specific standards of this chapter. Review will address four specific types of impact:

1. Stormwater runoff and water quality impact;

2. Stream corridor impact;

3. Visual, historic and natural quality impact; and

4. Traffic impact.

(b) Submission requirements for the impact reviews identified at (a)1 through 4 above are set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:45-8 through 11.

(c) In each case, the scope of review will depend upon the size and location of the project, as follows, and as illustrated in Table 1 below:

1. In Zone A:

i. Each major project is reviewed for visual, historic and natural quality impact, for stormwater runoff and water quality impact, for stream corridor impact, and for traffic impact;

ii. Each minor project is reviewed for visual, historic and natural quality impact, and for stream corridor impact; and

iii. Any minor project that will result in 800 square feet or more of impervious surface, cumulatively since January 11, 1980, is reviewed for stormwater runoff and water quality.

2. In Zone B:

i. Each major project is reviewed for stormwater runoff and water quality impact, and for stream corridor impact; and

ii. Any major project within one mile of any portion of the Park and having direct access to a road that enters Zone A is reviewed for traffic impact.
