Appropriates $10 million to the DEP for Black Creek and Wreck Pond dredging.

This bill appropriates $10 million from the General Fund to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for dredging Black Creek and Wreck Pond in Spring Lake Heights, Spring Lake, and Sea Girt (Monmouth County). The funds will be used for capital construction under the Natural Resource Management line item to address sediment buildup. The project aims to mitigate pollution drainage during heavy rainstorms, which currently causes beach closures in Spring Lake by preventing contaminated water from flowing into the ocean.
