Allows State-owned, municipally-managed Blue Acres lands to be used for freshwater wetlands mitigation projects.

This bill amends the Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act to include State-owned, municipally-managed Blue Acres lands as a potential site for freshwater wetlands mitigation projects. Specifically, it allows for the creation, enhancement, or restoration of freshwater wetlands on these lands, provided both the State and the relevant municipality grant permission. This provision adds an additional option for developers to mitigate the impact of their projects on freshwater wetlands ecosystems.
