Commissioners authorize DEP wetlands application for sheriff's transfer station project
Summary
The board approved a resolution authorizing the director to sign and submit a wetlands application to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to advance construction of a Sheriff's transfer station; commissioners approved the request and the resolution was adopted at the meeting.
The Sussex County Board of County Commissioners voted to authorize the director to sign a wetlands application to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for work related to the county Sheriff's transfer station.
A county official told the board the project requires DEP wetlands authorization and asked the board to approve a resolution allowing the director to sign the necessary license so the application could be submitted "tomorrow". "I need a resolution authorizing the director to sign that license so that we can send it to DEP tomorrow and get that project going," the official said.
A motion to approve the resolution was made, seconded and passed by voice vote; the chair recorded the measure as carried. Commissioners did not place extensive project design detail on the record during the meeting. County staff indicated the resolution was a routine step to secure DEP review and permits so construction can proceed.
The board instructed staff to proceed with submitting the wetlands application; no permit conditions, mitigation plans or timelines were described on the record at the meeting.
