Ridgewood is moving ahead with the purchase of more than $71,000 worth of wetlands credits to meet requirements set forth by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
A resolution adopted by the Village Council authorized the mayor to enter into a purchase agreement with Pequannock Properties Developers for the acquisition of 0.11 acres of wetlands credits, which are needed following the completion of the Saddle River Bank Erosion and Sanitary Sewer Restoration Project.
The DEP recently identified a shortage of wetlands in the village as a result of the project, further ruling that Ridgewood either purchase credit or create a mitigation plan. Ridgewood’s overall lack of wetlands, however, eliminates the latter option, village engineers have said.
