The County Planning Board, County Engineer and Mosquito Control Commission;
The Soil Conservation District; and,
Notice must be sent pursuant to the ninety-day rules or the MLUL to the above-listed parties to satisfy the requirement of this section.
[1967 Code § 26-5.3]
A pre-application conference is suggested and may be requested by the applicant, his agent or his engineer to meet with one of the representatives of the Board (or Municipal Engineer) to discuss the requirements for preparation of a specific application.
A pre-application conference may also be used to deliver an application to the Board to be checked for completeness and accepted for review.
A pre-application conference will be scheduled by appointment only.
[1967 Code § 26-5.4]
The Planning Board will provide standard forms and procedures for all applications and a docket number to identify each application. This docket number shall be clearly marked on all correspondence and submissions related to the application.
The Board will retain at least one copy of the application, including detailed drawings of the project showing the floodway line and flood fringe line and of any additional information required, on file for public review.
Declare the application complete for the purpose of making a review for determination and decision; or
The date application was declared complete by the Board;
The date by which the Board shall approve, condition, or disapprove the application; and

It shall be the responsibility of the party taking the appeal to arrange for a transcript of the hearing before the Board and to provide a copy of same to the Mayor and Borough Council as well as all other parties to the appeal within 45 days of the final decision of the Board. The review made by the Mayor and Borough Council shall be on the record made before the Board, and shall involve either a reversal or affirmance of the final decision of the Board. The Mayor and Borough Council shall act in a quasi-judicial (appellate) capacity in reaching a decision, rather than hearing the appeal on a de novo basis. The affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Mayor and Borough Council present during the hearing shall be necessary to reverse or affirm the final decision of the Board. The failure or inability of the Mayor and Borough Council to reach a decision as hereinabove described shall operate as an affirmance of the final decision of the Board.
[1967 Code § 26-6]
The standards outlined in this section shall apply to all regulated uses in the flood fringe area of delineated streams. For the purposes of development subject to the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, the standards in that ordinance shall apply wherever stricter than those described below. Additionally, uses considered by this chapter to be nonregulated may be regulated under the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance.[1]
Editor's Note: The Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance may be found in Chapter 21, Land Use.
[1967 Code § 26-6.1]
Requirements for structures under regulated use.
All proposed hospitals, nursing homes, schools, day care centers, residences and similar noncommercial structures shall be elevated so the lowest floor, including any basement, is at or above the flood hazard design elevation along delineated streams. At least one driveway and access route to any hospital, school, nursing home, day care center or other similar noncommercial structure, except for individual residences, shall be elevated to comply with the requirements of this subsection. Recreation areas may be allowed to be inundated in low areas where it is determined that there is acceptable flood damage potential.
All proposed commercial and industrial structures, including water supply and wastewater treatment facilities, shall be elevated so that the lowest floor, including any basement, is at or above the flood hazard design elevation along delineated streams. An exception to this may be allowed if the structures are floodproofed in a manner which reflects flood velocities, durations, rates of rise, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces, probable evacuation time available after flood warning, and other similar factors. The applicant shall submit a plan or document certified by a licensed professional engineer that the floodproofing measures are consistent with the design elevation and associated flood factors. All or any of the following floodproofing measures may be required so as to result in a dry floodproofed structure:
Installation of watertight doors, bulkheads and shutters, or similar devices;
Reinforced walls to resist water pressures;
Use of membranes or mortars to reduce seepage of water through walls;
Construction that resists rupture of collapse caused by water pressure or floating debris;
Location or floodproofing of all electrical equipment in a manner which will assure that it is not subject to flooding; and
Lawful pre-existing prohibited structures.
Lawful pre-existing prohibited structures damaged by any means other than flooding may be restored provided that:
Lawful pre-existing prohibited structures damaged by flooding may be restored provided that:
Efforts are made to provide floodproofing or other similar techniques to minimize flood damage to the structures.
[1967 Code § 26-6.2]
Is from within the flood fringe area of delineated streams or within the one-hundred-year flood plain, but outside of encroachment lines, of nondelineated streams; and
Which is also from between the natural or existing ground surface, whichever is lower, and the level of the flood hazard design elevation along delineated streams or the one-hundred-year storm elevation along nondelineated streams.
All fill shall be graded in a manner so as not to adversely affect overland drainage flows.
Fill shall be placed so that slopes are not steeper than a ratio of two horizontal to one vertical.
Fill shall be compacted and stabilized in accordance with the "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey" or latest amendment thereto, adopted pursuant to N.J.A.C. 2:90-1.3.
When a steam encroachment permit has been granted allowing the placement of fill, under the provisions of this chapter, any subsequent subdivision of the property shall not have the effect of increasing the total amount of fill allowed to be placed upon the property covered by the previous permit. Additional fill may be placed on the newly divided property only to the extent that the total amount of fill allowed under these rules for the original defined property has not been exceeded.
A variance from the requirements of this subsection may be granted by the NJDEP, on a case-by-case basis, for Federal, State, County or municipal highway or road construction projects, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:13-5.4(b).
Where dikes, levees, floodwalls or other structures, not approved as flood control projects, impede the entry of flood waters into an enclosed space, the enclosed space shall be considered as solid fill for the purpose of this subsection.
[1967 Code § 26-6.3]
The latest revised version of the "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey" promulgated by the New Jersey State Soil Conservation Committee pursuant to the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act of 1975 as amended (N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq.) and N.J.A.C. 2:90-1.3 shall be used in the preparation and submission of Stream Encroachment Applications.
The area of soil disturbance shall be no longer than that which is necessary for the conduct of the project.
If erosion and sediment control measures such as diversions, sediment basins, or sediment barriers, which purpose is to divert surface runoff before it reaches exposed soil or to intercept sediment eroded from exposed soil, are part of the erosion and sediment control plan, such measures shall be installed prior to any major soil disturbance or in their proper sequence to minimize sediment delivery to waterways. All soil erosion and sediment control practices shall be left in place until the soil is established by vegetation or engineering measures.
In areas where vegetative methods (including "mulch only") are relied on for erosion and sediment control (without downslope controls to intercept sediment such as sediment basins or sediment barriers), seeding, mulching, or placement of sod shall be performed within 48 hours of soil exposure in accordance with the "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control". Seeding shall, in such areas, always be accompanied by mulching. If weather conditions are unfavorable for seeding, sod placement or the subsequent establishment of such vegetation the area shall be mulched within 48 hours of soil exposure in accordance with the "Standards for Stabilization with Mulch Only" in the "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control". Slopes exceeding 15% (in areas without downslope sediment controls) shall be protected within 48 hours of soil exposure by special treatment, such as water diversion berms, sodding, or approved mulch netting, in accordance with the "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control."
Pumping of sediment-laden water from the dewatering of trenches or other excavations directly into waterways is prohibited. Pump intakes shall be placed near the water surface to minimize the sediment content of pumpage. Wherever possible, pumpage shall be piped to sediment basins or sediment barriers that meet the "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control", or mechanical filtration or sedimentation devices shall be used to minimize the discharge into waterways of sediment in pumpage. As a last resort, special approval may be granted for the pumpage to be spread onto land as far from the streambank as possible, providing that care is taken to avoid damaging trees not slated for removal.
[1967 Code § 26-6.4]
All projects involving permanent excavation within the flood fringe, except as related to the installation of underground utilities or foundation for structures, shall not have cut faces at slopes steeper than a ration of one vertical to two horizontal.
[1967 Code § 26-6.5]
Material being disposed of within the flood fringe area shall be spread evenly and should not inhibit the drainage of the area. Such spoil material shall be stabilized within 48 hours according to the "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control". Details of the methods of stabilization shall be included on the plan.
[1967 Code § 26-6.6]
Retention and detention basins for stormwater management within the flood fringe area along delineated streams shall be constructed in accordance with criteria of the State Stormwater Management Regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:8). Stormwater impoundments, including berms, may be required to obtain a Dam Permit from NJDEP where appropriate.
[1967 Code § 26-6.7]
If manholes are to be located within the flood fringe area along delineated streams, they shall be flush with ground level and provided with watertight manhole covers.
[1967 Code § 26-6.8]
Stream encroachment projects shall be carried out in such a manner that the pollution, impairment, or destruction of environment as related to the flood hazard area, is minimized to the extent practicable. Federal, State and local statutes, regulations and ordinances designed to minimize or prevent such damage shall be complied with.
[1967 Code § 26-6.9]
Individual sewage disposal systems within the flood fringe area shall be constructed in accordance with the New Jersey State's Standards for the Construction of Individual Subsurface Sewage Disposal Systems, N.J.A.C. 7:9-2.
[1967 Code § 26-7]
To help assure adequate protection of the aquatic life and water resources from the adverse impacts of some kinds of stream encroachment, special procedures and standards have been prepared to supplement the general standards. These special requirements include the classification of some kinds of stream encroachments as a "Project of Special Concern" which must be reviewed and approved by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
Any project which appears to be a project of special concern, as defined in N.J.A.C. 7:13-5.2 and below in Subsection 32-7.1, must be reviewed by the Department. If the Department agrees with the classification, the applicant must apply directly to the Department for a stream encroachment permit.
[1967 Code § 26-7.1]
Channelization or relocation of a stream for a distance over 100 feet (except for low-flow channels constructed as part of a detention basin) or for a distance over 300 feet on either side of a bridge or culvert; or
Loss of more than 6,000 square feet of the existing woodland within 25 feet of the top of banks.
Where a project is performed in phases and two or more applications are submitted, the total length of the affected stream segment shall be used in applying the criteria in paragraph a above.
In addition, stream encroachment projects are projects of special concern if the Board or NJDEP determines that they would be likely to produce serious adverse effects, including, but not limited to, the following:
Potential serious degradation of water quality below the NJDEP's Surface Water Quality Standards or Ground Water Quality Standards.
Potential serious adverse effects on water resources including but not limited to, adverse effects on potable water supplies, flooding, drainage, channel stability, navigation, energy production, municipal, industrial, or agricultural water supplies, fisheries or recreation. Such adverse effects include damage to potential as well as existing water uses.
Stream encroachment projects causing exposure of acid producing deposits along more than 50 feet of stream channel, if the drainage area of the stream is over 50 acres. However, this applies to smaller streams if the stream is trout-associated and if the stream is perennial.
Projects for construction of Federal, State, County or municipal highways or roads, where a variance is requested under N.J.A.C. 7:13-4.7(d)7, (e)3, or Subsection 32-6.2 of this chapter, shall be considered projects of special concern.
All regulated uses within the floodway of delineated streams or within the one-hundred-year flood plain of nondelineated streams require a NJDEP review and permit.
[1967 Code § 26-7.2]
All dams, as defined by the New Jersey Safe Dam Act, and this chapter, must be submitted to NJDEP for a dam permit.
[1967 Code § 26-7.3]
Bridge approaches within the flood fringe of delineated streams for bridges that traverse the floodway shall be considered as part of the permit application for the bridge and must be submitted to NJDEP for review and approval.
[1967 Code § 26-8]
Cases in which the Board determines that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the proposed project, including the no-action alternative which would avoid or substantially reduce any anticipated adverse effects and where the waiver is consistent with the reasonable requirements of the public health, safety and welfare; or
Cases in which the Board determines that the costs of strict compliance are unreasonably high in relationship to the benefits achieved by strict compliance; or
Cases in which the Board and applicant agree to alternative requirements that, in the judgment of the Board, provide equal or better protection to the public health, safety and welfare.
Where granted, such waivers are subject to the appeal procedures in Subsection 26-5.5 of this chapter. Decisions to grant a hardship waiver may also be appealed to NJDEP under N.J.A.C. 7:13-2.11.
That by reason of the extraordinary or exceptional situation or condition of the property, the strict enforcement of this subchapter would result in exceptional and undue hardship upon the applicant in question;
That the waiver will not substantially impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent property and will not pose a threat to the public health, safety, and general welfare;
That the hardship is unique or peculiar to the applicant; and
A plan for floodproofing, the implementation of which shall be a condition of the waiver;
Proof that appropriate steps shall be taken to anchor materials in order to prevent flotation, collapse, or lateral movement;
The relationship of the proposed project to the comprehensive land use plan and flood plain program for the area;
Proposed routes to and from the property during flood times;
The projected height, velocity and duration of the flood waters expected at the site during the design flood;
The type of soil located at the proposed site;
A statement concerning the land use and value absent the granting of the hardship waiver;
Information regarding the existing development of the area and the impact of the additional work;
Evidence that the project will not distort the stream's flood carrying capacity so as to cause substantial problems along the stream;
An analysis of the extent to which the sediment regimen and water quality of the stream will be affected by the proposed exemption; and
The applicant shall also submit proof of required public notice for consideration of a hardship waiver as required by Subsection 32-5.2.
The Board shall notify the applicant of the results of its review within 90 days.
If the material submitted to the Board by the applicant in support of the petition for hardship waiver does not satisfactorily demonstrate that a hardship waiver is warranted, the Board shall so notify the applicant by letter advising the applicant that the petition for hardship waiver has been denied by the Board and shall also state the reasons for this denial.
[1967 Code § 26-9]
In addition to any fee due to the municipality as a result of the applicant's underlying application for a municipal approval, there shall be due to the municipality at the time of submission of materials in support of this application fee as follows:
