This email is from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger.net dated October 28,. 2020. Read it carefully:
Re: Ocean Grove: The application remains pending. Notice of the 30-day public comment period was published on page 46 of the Oct. 21, 2020 edition of the DEP bulletin.
A fact-finding public hearing on a CAFRA* individual permit application would be held if additional information is necessary to help the DEP evaluate the proposed project’s potential impacts, and if that information can only be obtained through a public hearing.
As part of the process, the DEP reviews submitted public comments, and/or the proposed project’s scope, and/or the environmental impact of the proposed project.
To date, the DEP has heard from two commenters, both of which have indicated that their counsel will submit further comment on their behalf.
At this time, a public hearing has not been deemed necessary.
Editor’s note: Note that “submitted public comments” are reviewed by DEP and they are taken seriously.
If you have something to say to the DEP about the NORTH END OGNED CAFRA APPLICATION, then you should put it in writing and send it to the NJDEP, return receipt requested.
THIS IS THE OCEAN GROVE ENTRY INTO THE DEP BULLETIN DATED OCTOBER 21, 2020. Page 46.

*The Coastal Area Facility Review Act, also known as CAFRA, authorizes the Department to regulate a wide variety of residential, commercial, public, or industrial development, such as the construction, relocation, and enlargement of buildings and structures, and associated work, such as grading and excavation…
What I find troubling is that I also wrote to CAFRA demanding a public hearing because of the extensive amount of corruption dealing with this application.
My letter went through two Federal agencies,the US Post Office, and the CAFRA office and clearly one of the two, have with clear intention, violated my rights to further expose this on-going township corruption by withholding my letter.
