Appropriates $26,140,000 for dredging projects and dredged material disposal projects related to navigational waterways.

This bill appropriates $26.14 million from the General Fund to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for dredging navigational waterways and disposing of dredged material. It directly funds 21 specific dredging projects across Ocean, Monmouth, Cape May, and other counties (like Double Creek Channel and Rumson Dredge Site), plus $4 million for 9 recreational/residential waterways (such as Hancy's Pond and Manahawkin Creek) not officially designated as navigational. The key mechanism is allocating funds to maintain waterway depth for safe navigation, with unspent funds applied to other priority channels. The bill addresses long-unfunded dredging needs critical for commercial shipping and recreational boating access.
