Announcing Mandatory Electronic Submissions for DLRP Applications Starting October 5, 2021
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Land Resource Protection (formerly the Division of Land Use Regulation) announces that all applications for the following land use permits and authorizations must be submitted electronically through NJDEP Online, effective October 5, 2021:
- Coastal General Permits and CAFRA, Coastal Wetlands and Waterfront Development Individual Permits
- Meadowlands District Water Quality Certificates
- Flood Hazard General Permits, Individual Permits, and associated Flood Hazard Verifications
(Note: Applications for verifications can only be submitted electronically if the verification is associated with an application for a general permit authorization, an individual permit, or a transition area waiver. Application for stand-alone verifications must be submitted by mail.)
- Freshwater Wetlands General Permits, Individual Permits, and Transition Area Waivers
Please note that paper applications for the authorizations and permits listed above will NOT be accepted after October 5, 2021.
The electronic submission of applications provides numerous benefits, including improving the efficiency of the application process, increasing transparency for the public, reducing costs, and protecting the environment by eliminating the need for paper.
