Commission proposes standard comment discouraging plastic grass mesh

Bernards Township Environmental Commission · August 25, 2026

Summary

The commission agreed to draft a standard comment discouraging use of plastic mesh for turf areas and to add that recommendation to routine environmental comments for applicants.

The Chair proposed the commission prepare a short, standard comment advising applicants to avoid plastic mesh for grass installations. The Chair said it would be useful to have one of the commission's "standard comments to suggest that we avoid using that" material and asked members to prepare a short draft for future reviews.

Members responded that a template recommendation would streamline review comments and reduce the likelihood of applicants specifying plastic mesh where alternatives exist. Staff will prepare a draft standard comment for the commission to review.
