Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill would exempt mountain bike trails from a requirement to obtain a Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) review under the Storm Water Management Laws, provided those trails are generally constructed and maintained in accordance with certain standards. The removal of the review requirement means that DEP staff will no longer have to review and approve plans for proposed mountain bike trails, resulting in minor savings.
