N.J. Admin. Code § 7:13-7.20 - Permit-by-rule 20-construction of a fence

(a) Permit-by-rule 20 authorizes the construction of a fence, provided the conditions at N.J.A.C. 7:13-6.7 are met and:

1. No disturbance is located within 25 feet of any top of bank, unless the fence lies adjacent to a lawfully existing bulkhead, retaining wall, or revetment along a tidal water or impounded fluvial water;

2. No trees are cleared, cut, and/or removed in a riparian zone; and

3. Any fence located in a floodway has sufficiently large openings so as not to catch debris during a flood and thereby obstruct floodwaters, such as a barbed-wire, split-rail, or strand fence. A fence with little or no open area, such as a chain link, lattice, or picket fence, does not meet this requirement.
