This determination is based on a review of the information submitted by the applicant, and in accordance with the existing Flood Hazard Area Control Act rules. Therefore, this determination will become void if the project changes size, scope, location or impact, or if the Department determines that the submitted information is incomplete or inaccurate. Pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:13-5.1( and (g), this determination is valid for five years from the date of this letter, unless the Department amends N.J.A.C. 7:13 such that the proposed activity becomes regulated, or else the Department amends the flood hazard area or riparian zone onsite such that the proposed activity lies within one of these regulated areas. In such a case, this determination shall become void and the applicant shall obtain a new permit from the Department pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:13-2.1 prior to commencing the regulated activities onsite.
