N.J. Admin. Code § 7:7-14.2

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 23, December 2, 2024

Section 7:7-14.2 - Basic location rule

(a) A location may be acceptable for development under N.J.A.C. 7:7-9, 12, 13, and 14, but the Department may reject or conditionally approve the proposed development of the location as reasonably necessary to:

1. Promote the public health, safety, and welfare;

2. Protect public and private property, wildlife and marine fisheries; and

3. Preserve, protect and enhance the natural environment.

(b) Rationale: This rule is intended to afford appropriate discretion to the Department to reject or conditionally approve projects that otherwise meet the applicable rules but may pose a threat to the public, natural resources, property, or the environment. This common sense approach recognizes that unusual circumstances may result in a project meeting the letter of the rules but not their intent and provides necessary parameters for the Department's review of such projects.
