According to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife, the following three waters have been removed from the 1999 Pre-Season Spring Trout Stocking Schedule. The closures are expected to be only temporary and the release of trout will resume if construction efforts are completed by the conclusion of the stocking season.

Colonial Lake in Mercer County: the stocking cancellation is the result of lake restoration efforts.

Lake Topenemus in Monmouth County: the stocking cancellation is the result of a dredging project.

Spooky Brook Lake in Somerset County: the stocking cancellation is the result of installing a new irrigation system.
