N.J. Admin. Code § 2:90-2.5 - Terrace systems

(a) Terrace systems which reduce pollution of water, land, or air from agricultural non-point sources may be applied to cropland subject to erosion from water runoff.

(b) The following types of practices are approved for terrace systems:

1. Terraces and the necessary leveling and filling to permit installation of an effective system.

2. Materials and installation of underground pipe outlets and other mechanical outlets.

3. Necessary vegetative protective outlets or waterways.

4. Converting the present system to a new system ONLY if the present system is not serving its intended conservation purpose.

5. Removing portions of stone walls or hedgerows if necessary to permit establishment of the practice.

(c) A protective outlet or waterway which is installed solely as an outlet for the terrace system and serves no other conservation purpose should be cost-shared as a component of this practice. A protective outlet or waterway which by itself solves a conservation problem, but also serves as an outlet for a terrace system, should be cost-shared under Sod Waterways or Sediment Retention, Erosion, or Water Control Structures.

(d) The system shall be maintained for a minimum of eight years following calendar year of installment.
