A 2514 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides that potable water well construction projects on preserved farms are eligible to receive soil and water conservation grants from SADC.

Bill A 2514 expands eligibility for state soil and water conservation grants to include potable water well construction projects on preserved farmland. It directly affects farmers enrolled in municipal farmland preservation programs or holding development easements on their land. The bill adds water well construction to the existing list of eligible projects (like irrigation systems and erosion control), allowing landowners to apply for grants through local soil conservation districts. To qualify, projects must be part of a farmland conservation plan and the land must be within a preservation program or subject to a development easement.
