In April 2011, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) proposed rules concerning public access to the state’s tidal waterways. 43 N.J.R. 772(a). But after contentious public hearings and receiving 132 comments, the department decided not to proceed with its original proposal. For a discussion of that proposal, see L. Goldshore, “Public Access to N.J.’s Shoreline,” 204 N.J.L.J. 199 (April 18, 2011).

In its place, on March 19, DEP “proposed substantial changes [that] include several changes to provide clarity and ensure consistent application of procedures and standards, and to reflect public comment on the proposal.” 44 N.J.R. 614(a). Public hearings on the new proposal are scheduled for April 18 and the record for the submission of comments will remain open until May 18.
