All development on tidal lagoons, navigable waterways or other bodies of water, either existing or proposed, shall provide for bulkheading. All development on nontidal bodies of water, either existing or proposed, shall provide for bulkheading or other appropriate permanent bank stabilization, acceptable to the Planning Board. In no case shall bank slopes, bulkhead, riprap, revetments or other elements of bank stabilization be located within required minimum yard areas.

Bulkheads may be constructed of treated timber, reinforced concrete, marine alloy steel or other materials in accordance with approved details, if adopted, and a detailed design to be submitted by the developer in each case for approval by the Township Engineer, and such other approval authorities, including but not limited to the United States Army Corps of Engineers, as may be necessary. New or reconstructed lagoons shall have a minimum width of 100 feet and shall be provided with suitable turning basins.

The Planning Board may consider waiver and/or modification of this requirement when necessary to preserve wetlands or other natural features, provided that minimum lot sizes may be maintained and that all development may be made reasonably secure from erosion.
