A sand mining company recently filed a brief challenging a Pinelands Commission rule that regulates diversions of water from an aquifer in the New Jersey Pinelands. The rule in question, published at 54 N.J.R. 1668(a) (the Regulation), regulates proposed water diversions of 50,000 gallons per day or more from the Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer and reduces the quantity of water that may be diverted therefrom. It thus impacts parties that use large amounts of water from the aquifer, including resource extraction operations that mine sand and gravel in the Pinelands, and municipalities.
