The areas delineated as freshwater wetlands
on the Carneys Point Township Zoning Map prepared by Ron Rukenstein
and Associates and dated August 11, 2005, shall be presumptively determined
to be freshwater wetlands subject to all statutory and regulatory
provisions pertaining to freshwater wetlands in the State of New Jersey.
An interested party may appeal to the Carneys Point Planning Board
the determination that freshwater wetlands are located on a particular
parcel of real estate. Furthermore, in the event that a freshwater
wetlands boundary line cannot be definitively determined, the Carneys
Point Township Planning Board may, upon proper application, consider
any information submitted by the property owner and/or applicant in
order to determine whether or not the questioned property is subject
to the statutory and regulatory provisions pertaining to freshwater
wetlands.
