Cultural Resources Review and the New Jersey Water Bank program

The slide deck offers a very brief overview of the cultural resource review process in the NJ Water Bank program. Our Cultural Resource Unit staff will guide you through this process, which is different for every project. Contact us with any questions.

The NJDEP has developed a Programmatic Agreement to memorialize the cultural resources review process for funded drinking water projects. The Fact Sheet provides an explanation and background information. The draft Programmatic Agreement is posted for your review. Submit any comments you may have to Elizabeth Davis at elizabeth.davis@deptest.nj.gov by January 15, 2026.

The DEP GIS historic preservation data centralized. This is a good place to start to learn about the cultural resources that may be in a project area. However, checking this alone does not fulfill the responsibility to fully evaluate a project for its potential to affect historic properties.

Construction Oversight

The construction and initial operational phases of projects financed through the New Jersey Water Bank (NJWB) must comply with all program requirements. NJDEP works closely with borrowers to ensure compliance by inspecting construction projects, assisting with contract disputes, certifying payment requests, performing load adjustments, reviewing change orders and verifying projects are in compliance with State and Federal regulations.[/vc_column_text][vc_tta_accordion color=”white” spacing=”1″ c_icon=”chevron” c_position=”right” active_section=”-1″ collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section title=”Change Order Forms” tab_id=”change-order-forms”][vc_column_text]
