The purpose of this license application is to secure a Consolidated Written Determination (“CWD”) that allows for the redevelopment of certain parcels proposed in the RLFMP FMPU that are ineligible for authorization under the existing Master License #10233 to be licensed individually upon request. These specific parcels, detailed in Section 4 of the application, are anticipated to be redeveloped in phases over a period of years. The CWD will enable the DEP to regulate the future build-out of the RLFMP and ensure that impacts of individual projects are addressed in individual licenses.
