This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $500,000 from the General Fund to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) specifically for the dredging and restoration of the Peckman River. The funding is intended to be allocated among the Townships of Cedar Grove, Little Falls, Verona, and the Borough of Woodland Park, with the Commissioner of Environmental Protection responsible for establishing an application process to determine the distribution of funds based on each municipality's joint plan for the project.

Additionally, the bill outlines that the Peckman River Dredging and Restoration Project will encompass various activities such as dredging, restoration, cleaning, and desnagging, all in accordance with the Statewide general permit. Importantly, the DEP is mandated to waive any permit fees associated with activities that align with the general permit and the municipalities' joint plan. This legislation aims to enhance the environmental management of the Peckman River while facilitating collaboration among the involved municipalities.
