The applicant must supply the Borough with copies of all approved environmental permitting necessary to construct the project including but not limited to Army Corp of Engineers and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The applicant may supply the Borough with Letters of No Interest from the regulatory agency or signed and sealed reports prepared by an environmental permitting consultant or professional engineer identifying the project is not subject to environmental permitting in part or in whole.

The applicant's plan submittal to the Borough must be of sufficient detail to demonstrate compliance with applicable Ordinance requirements including but not limited to Chapter 8 Building and Housing, Section 16-2 Stormwater Management and Control, Chapter 17 Floodplain Management Regulations, and Chapter 22, Development Regulations. Penetrations through a bulkhead shall accommodate provisions to prevent tidal inundation either by physical grade or mechanical components to a minimum elevation equal to the base flood elevation as set forth in Subsection 17-2.2, Establishment of Flood Hazard Areas, unless a waiver is obtained from the Borough Engineer or Floodplain Manager.

The design of bulkheads, docks and piers shall be completed in accordance applicable industry standards using environmentally suitable and long lasting materials.

When the proposed work consists of substantial reconstruction or replacement in part or in whole of an existing bulkhead or construction of a new bulkhead, the top of bulkhead elevation at a minimum shall equal the base flood elevation as set forth in Subsection 17-2.2 Establishment of Flood Hazard Areas, unless a waiver is obtained from the Borough Engineer or Floodplain Manager. Special considerations to the issuance of a waiver shall be given in regard to surrounding grade, connection to adjoining structures, and impact to surrounding properties and Borough right-of-way.

Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, certificate of compliance or the close-out of any construction permits, the applicant shall provide the Borough with an as-built survey prepared by a New Jersey licensed professional surveyor showing the finished improvements. The applicant shall also submit a report signed and sealed by a New Jersey licensed professional engineer that the construction of the improvements substantially conform to the approved plans. Any field deviations shall be noted either on the as-built survey or within the engineer's report.
