STATEMENT
This bill appropriates $10 million in capital construction funds from the General Fund to the Department of Environmental Protection to dredge the Black Creek and Wreck Pond, which are located in Spring Lake Heights, Spring Lake and Sea Girt, Monmouth County. During heavy rainfalls, significant pollution from these bodies of water drain into the ocean, causing beach closures in Spring Lake. This project should serve to mitigate this problem and prevent future beach closures.
