| 9/8/09: Notice of Acceptance
of new and changed CAFRA center and core boundaries pursuant to N.J.A.C.
7:7E-5B.3
On September 8, 2009, the DEP published in the NJ Register notice
of its acceptance of new and changed CAFRA center and core boundaries
pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:7E-5B.3. In 2004, the State Planning Commission
adopted rules that set expiration dates for certain State Planning
Commission designated centers and cores that were not approved through
the plan endorsement process. These designations were set to expire
on a specified schedule beginning on January 7, 2008.
On September 6, 2008, Governor Corzine signed into law the Permit
Extension Act of 2008. In accordance with the Permit Extension Act
of 2008, the boundaries of State Planning Commission designated centers
and cores were extended, except for those portions of the centers
and cores located in environmentally sensitive areas.
The expiration dates of designated centers and cores set forth by
the State Planning Commission were modified by operation of law by
enactment of the Permit Extension Act of 2008. The changes accepted
by the Department at this time reflect the expiration of those State
Planning Commission designated centers and cores that consisted entirely
of environmentally sensitive areas. The changes additionally reflect
the expiration of those portions of other centers that are environmentally
sensitive area as defined by the Permit Extension Act. The Department,
for purposes of N.J.A.C. 7:7E-5B.3, is accepting the expiration of
all or portions of these centers and the reversion of these areas
to the underlying State Plan Planning Area designation. Accordingly,
the Department is repealing all or portions of the CAFRA centers that
correspond to these expired State Planning Commission centers. These
areas will revert to the Coastal Planning Area that corresponds to
the underlying State Plan Planning Area.
