| NJ Coastal Zone Management Individual Permit
An Individual Permit may be issued for a project that cannot meet the requirements of the available Permits-by-rule, General Permits-by-certification, or General Permits. A regulated activity that requires an Individual Permit is typically subject to multiple requirements. The compliance statement that accompanies the application should address all items in N.J.A.C. 7:7-9 that affect or are affected by the project. Application requirements are detailed in N.J.A.C. 7:7-23. The applicant must evaluate each regulated activity according to its location, nature and potential impacts in order to determine which standards will apply to the project.
The Department has, for your convenience, developed an Individual Permit Application Checklist. Please follow the requirements as outlined on this checklist to ensure that you have all of the required information necessary to complete and process your application. If the application does not contain all of the required aspects of the checklist, the entire application package will be returned to the applicant.
As Individual Permit applications are more complex, the Division suggests requesting a pre-application meeting with Division staff prior to application submission.
