§ 212-21.1 Delineation of wetlands.
[Added 12-14-2006 by Ord. No. 767]
The areas delineated as freshwater wetlands on the Carneys Point Township Zoning Map prepared by Ron Rukenstein and Associates and dated August 11, 2005, shall be presumptively determined to be freshwater wetlands subject to all statutory and regulatory provisions pertaining to freshwater wetlands in the State of New Jersey. An interested party may appeal to the Carneys Point Planning Board the determination that freshwater wetlands are located on a particular parcel of real estate. Furthermore, in the event that a freshwater wetlands boundary line cannot be definitively determined, the Carneys Point Township Planning Board may, upon proper application, consider any information submitted by the property owner and/or applicant in order to determine whether or not the questioned property is subject to the statutory and regulatory provisions pertaining to freshwater wetlands.
