Featured Projects have been appropriate
candidates for funding in connection with settlements of
natural resource damages assessed by the New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). NJDEP has allowed potentially
responsible private parties who execute an NRD Settlement with NJDEP
to make a financial contribution to CRI for the purpose of funding
a specific CRI-Featured Project which meets the approval of NJDEP.
Typically, this has meant that the project must be located in the same
watershed or watershed management area where the natural resources
damages have occurred, and be of sufficient size and of a satisfactory
nature to offset the damaged natural resources. In the event that
no currently featured projects satisfied the requirements for a particular
settlement, CRI can help identify and screen a specific project
to meet the geographic and size needs for a particular pending settlement.
