Overview
This bill creates two new programs within the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to address the risks posed by abandoned mines. These programs, the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Transportation and Utility Protection Program and the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Environment Protection Program, aim to protect infrastructure and the environment from subsidence caused by these mines. The bill requires the DOT and DEP to develop and implement reclamation plans, with specific notice requirements for property owners before entering private land for assessment or remediation work, and establishes dedicated funding sources for these programs.
