![]() ![]() General Permit 1 – Maintenance and repair of existing features – May be obtained if repairs are being made to an existing boat ramp or lift, or install of a boat ramp, lift, or any access point to the open water is being constructed within the landward side of a man-made bulkhead and not increasing disturbances to freshwater wetlands, transition areas, or State open waters. Two FWW General Permits (GP) are available for this activity, a GP1 and a GP19. The construction of a boat ramp or lift within freshwater wetlands, transition areas, and/or State open waters requires a Freshwater Wetlands (FWW) permit. Information on Tidelands can be found by selecting the “ Tidelands” tab. For impacts to Freshwater Wetlands, see the “Freshwater Wetlands” tab. For impacts to special coastal areas, please see the “ Coastal” tab. ![]() For impacts to streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, flood plains, flood ways, riparian zones, please see the “ Flood Hazard” tab. The above tabs provide additional information on permit requirements relating to boat lift and boat ramp projects. ![]() Special areas can be rudimentarily determined using the Department’s online mapping service, NJ-GeoWeb. Therefore, it is important to closely examine a proposed project relative to the sensitive areas on site. For example, an area containing sensitive aquatic species may be irreparably damaged by a boat ramp or lift. Installing boat lifts and ramps at the interface of land and water may result in impacts to “ special areas” that are regulated by the Department and may require multiple permits from the Division of Land Use Regulation. Boat lifts and ramps provide access points for personal watercraft along New Jersey’s lakes, ponds, reservoirs, rivers, and bays. ![]()
