Whenever a term is used in this chapter which
is defined in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq., such term is intended to
have the meaning set forth in the definition of such term found in
said statute.
A.
The substantive provisions of the "Land Subdivision
Ordinance of the Township of Carneys Point," Ordinance No. 109, and
the development regulations set forth therein, are hereby readopted,
as amended, and shall continue in full force.[1]

Editor's Note: The Land Subdivision Ordinance
is on file in the Township offices.
B.
In addition to the information required under the
development regulations of the Land Subdivision Ordinance of the Township
of Carneys Point, Ordinance No. 109, an environmental impact statement,
in triplicate, signed and sealed by a New Jersey licensed engineer
or a New Jersey licensed professional planner, preferably with experience
in environmental studies, shall be submitted in support of any application
for subdivision. As used in this section, an environmental impact
statement means a written description and analysis of all possible
direct and indirect effects the development will have upon the development's
site, as well as upon the surrounding region affected thereby, with
particular reference to the effect of the development upon the public
heath, welfare and safety, the protection of public and private property
and the preservation and enhancement of the natural environment. Every
environmental impact statement shall contain the information required
per Checklist Schedule D attached hereto.[2] The Planning Board may waive the requirement for an environmental
impact statement if the Planning Board finds, upon evidence submitted
by the applicant, that the proposed development will have a slight
or negligible environmental impact.
