New York
The New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) regulates
both freshwater
and tidal
wetlands within New York. The Adirondack Park Agency
regulates
wetlands within the Adirondack Park. NYSDEC and the Army Corps
of Engineers have a joint permit application process, in which applications
that are received by the NYSDEC are forwarded also to the Corps.
For a summary of the wetlands regulatory process in New York, please
review 
Building
Near Wetlands: The Dry Facts and NYSDEC's Freshwater
Wetlands and Tidal
Wetlands Permit Program Introductions. New York State's Uniform
Procedures Act standardizes the processing of NYSDEC's regulatory
permits. Also, applications for NYSDEC permits are considered complete
only when certain requirements of the State
Environmental Quality Review Act have been met. NYSDEC wetland permits
are subject to these state laws. Please refer to NYSDEC's Division
of Environmental Permitsfor more information.
New Jersey
The New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP) has assumed Clean
Water Act Section 404 regulatory authority for freshwater wetlands
in New Jersey. In most areas, the NJDEP has assumed the federal permitting
authority from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. NJDEP also has
separate regulatory authority in non-assumed areas of the state, such
as in tidal wetlands. NJDEP's Land
Use Regulation Program
manages the freshwater and tidal wetland permit programs. The Corps has
retained federal permitting authority in tidal wetlands. Disturbance in
New Jersey's tidal wetlands requires both state and federal permit review.
