Our Watershed & Land Management team celebrated a milestone yesterday with Acting Commissioner Potosnak, Deputy Commissioner Seebode and Assistant Commissioner Jennifer Moriarty. Through strategic reallocation, staff training, and an all-hands "blitz" approach, they addressed a backlog of Letters of Interpretation (LOIs) which document wetlands on properties so owners can plan construction and get permits faster. ✅ 99% of complete LOI applications pending 18+ months: COMPLETED ✅ 95% of complete LOI applications pending 12-18 months: COMPLETED ✅ Overall LOI backlog reduced 72% since the start of the Administration (Remaining applications are awaiting additional information from applicants) Proud of our DEP team for making government more efficient while maintaining our high standards for wetland protection. #DEPdelivers# #OperationFAST# #MoreAffordableNJ# #WetlandProtection#
