This one-day seminar is designed to present an overview of New Jersey’s new Flood Hazard Area Control Act rules (N.J.A.C. 7:13) which will be adopted this November. Representatives from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) will discuss the new rules in detail, and will answer questions regarding the technical issues and regulatory requirements involved in obtaining flood hazard area permits (formerly known as stream encroachment permits).
