Overview
This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to create ordinances that require the maintenance and repair of wharves, piers, docks, and bulkheads along navigable waterways. The Department of Environmental Protection will establish standards to minimize potential harm to public health, safety, and the environment. Municipalities can then set penalties for non-compliance, ranging from fines to jail time, and the Department will provide guidance and inspection procedures to help ensure proper maintenance.
