Permits For Marina
The Borough of Carteret, in Middlesex County, applied to the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) for the necessary permits to build a municipal marina. ACOE initially denied the permit. The Borough retained Bathgate, Wegener & Wolf, P.C. to file an appeal. William J. Wolf, Esq., a Bathgate, Wegener & Wolf partner, argued the appeal on behalf of the Borough. As a result of that appeal the denial of the permit was reversed and the matter was remanded for additional consideration of the merits of the marina permits.
ACOE completed its review of the marina application during the summer of 2015, but could not continue with the review process until the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) issued a waterfront development permit and related environmental certifications. Mr. Wolf represented the Borough throughout the NJDEP administrative process. On November 20, 2015, NJDEP issued that permit. It is anticipated that ACOE will finish its review and be in a position to make a final decision on its permits in the near future.
Assuming ACOE issues the necessary permits, the Borough will publish a request for proposals for dredging and marina building contractors. The Borough hopes to begin construction in July, 2016.
The marina consisting of 190 boat slips and related amenities will dramatically enhance the Borough’s existing waterfront park. The marina will provide opportunities for residents of the Borough and Middlesex County to have access to the water which will provide tremendous recreational outlets. The marina is also likely to act as a catalyst to other waterfront development such as residential and commercial buildings including retail outlets and restaurants.
To further enhance the development and environmental remediation of the waterfront, the Borough of Carteret has begun the administrative process to construct a ferry terminal to provide direct water access between Carteret, Middlesex County, and New York City. Mr. Wolf has been retained by Carteret to represent it in that administrative process which requires approval from the New Jersey Department of Transportation, NJDEP and ACOE and planning oversight by the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA).
The marina and ferry terminal constitute two of the redevelopment and brownsfields remediation projects Mr. Wolf is working on in Middlesex County. Those projects consist of redevelopment projects in Carteret and Woodbridge, Middlesex County and Wall Township, Monmouth County. Mr. Wolf has provided legal representation in redevelopment and remediation projects throughout New Jersey, including Hudson County, Monmouth County and Middlesex County.
