Environmental Land Use Permitting

New Jersey's dense population, extensive coastline, and unique natural resources make environmental land use permitting in the state one of the most complex regulatory permitting landscapes in the country. The vast majority of significant developments or construction projects in New Jersey are impacted by the state’s environmental regulations, often in conjunction with local zoning and planning requirements. The firm has long-standing expertise in navigating these intricate requirements on behalf of both public and private entities. Our strategic objectives in handling these matters are focused on maximizing our client’s ability to use land to its fullest potential while minimizing environmental liability and permit requirements.

The Greenbaum team is highly skilled at navigating the complexities of state and federal environmental laws and regulatory requirements that govern land use, working closely with environmental consultants, engineers and state agencies on a broad range of issues generated by the regulation of development in New Jersey. We assist clients in obtaining Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) permits, freshwater wetlands permits, Flood Hazard Area (FHA) permits, waterfront development permits, stormwater management permits, Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act approvals, Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan approvals, and Tidelands instruments including riparian grants, leases and licenses.
