RE:
Freshwater Wetlands Letter of Interpretation: Line Verification
File and Activity No.: 0415-08-0005.2 FWW250001
Applicant: Kaitilin Cerritio
Block(s) and Lot(s): [18603, 4] [18603, 5]
Gloucester Twp, Camden County
Watershed: Woodbury / Big Timber / Newton Creeks
Dear Ms. Cerritio:
Sub-watershed: Big Timber Creek SB (above Lakeland Road)
This letter is in response to your request for a Letter of Interpretation to have Division of Land
Resource Protection (Division) staff verify the boundary of the freshwater wetlands, transition areas, and/or
State open waters on the referenced property.
In accordance with agreements between the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Philadelphia and New York Districts, and
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the NJDEP is the lead agency for establishing the extent
of State and Federally regulated wetlands and waters. The USEPA and/or USACOE retain the right to
reevaluate and modify the jurisdictional determination at any time should the information prove to be
incomplete or inaccurate.
Based upon the information submitted, and upon a site inspection conducted by Division staff on
January 12, 2026, the Division has determined that the wetlands and waters boundary line(s) are accurate as
shown on the survey plan entitled: "PLAN OF WETLANDS 246 CEDAR LANE PLATE 186, BLOCK
18603, LOTS 4 & 5, TOWNSHIP OF GLOUCESTER, CAMDEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY",
consisting of 1 sheet(s), dated December 30, 2024, last revised January 27, 2025, and prepared by Adam R.
Grant P.L.S. of Consulting Engineer Services.
The freshwater wetlands and waters boundary line(s), as determined in this letter, must be shown on
any future site development plans. The line(s) should be labeled with the above File and Activity number and
the following note:
"Freshwater Wetlands/Waters Boundary Line as verified by NJDEP."
New Jersey is an Equal Opportunity Employer
File and Activity No.: 0415-08-0005.2, FWW250001
Wetlands Resource Value Classification ("RVC”)
Page 2
In addition, the Division has determined that the resource value and standard transition area or buffer
required adjacent to the delineated wetlands are as follows:
Exceptional:
All freshwater wetlands shown. [150-foot transition area]
State open waters:
Within wetland boundary. [No transition area]
The Division has determined that the wetlands identified above as exceptional resource value are due
to the presence of documented and suitable habitat for endangered and/or threatened species. RVC and all
other designations may affect requirements for wetland, State open water, and/or transition area permitting,
such as the requirements for an Individual Wetlands Permit (N.J.A.C. 7:7A-9 and 10), the types of General
Permits by Certification or General Permits available (N.J.A.C. 7:7A-5, 6 and 7), and any modification
available through a Transition Area Waiver (N.J.A.C. 7:7A-8). Please refer to the Freshwater Wetlands
Protection Act (N.J.S.A. 13:9B-1 et seq.) and implementing rules for additional information.
Wetlands resource value classification is based on the best information available to the Division. The
classification is subject to re-evaluation at any time if additional or updated information is made available,
including, but not limited to, information supplied by the applicant.
Under N.J.S.A. 13:9B-7a(2), if the Division has classified a wetland as exceptional resource value,
based on a finding that the wetland is documented habitat for threatened and/or endangered species that
remains suitable for use for breeding, resting or feeding by such species, an applicant may request a change in
this classification. Such requests for a classification change must demonstrate that the habitat is no longer
suitable for the documented species because there has been a change in the suitability of this habitat. Requests
for resource value classification changes and associated documentation should be submitted to the Division at
the address at the top of this letter.
General Information
Pursuant to the Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act rules, you are entitled to rely upon this
jurisdictional determination for a period of five years from the date of this letter unless it is determined that the
letter is based on inaccurate or incomplete information. Should additional information be disclosed or
discovered, the Division reserves the right to void the original letter of interpretation and issue a revised letter
of interpretation.
Regulated activities proposed within a freshwater wetland, State open water, or transition area, as
defined under N.J.A.C. 7:7A-2.2 and 2.3 of the Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act rules, require a permit
from this office unless specifically exempted at N.J.A.C. 7:7A-2.4. The approved plan(s) and supporting
jurisdictional limit information are now part of the Division's public records.
Please be advised that any surface water features on the site or adjacent to the site may possess flood
hazard areas and/or riparian zones and development within these areas may be subject to the Flood Hazard
Area Control Act rules at N.J.A.C. 7:13. The Department can verify the extent of flood hazard areas and/or
riparian zones through a flood hazard area verification under the application procedures set forth at N.J.A.C.
7:13-5.1.
This letter in no way legalizes any fill which may have been placed, or other regulated activities which
may have occurred onsite. This determination of jurisdiction extent or presence does not make a finding that
wetlands or water areas are "isolated" or part of a surface water tributary system unless specifically called out
in this letter as such. Furthermore, obtaining this determination does not affect your responsibility to obtain
any local, State, or Federal permits which may be required.
