The Department of Environmental Protection adopted amendments to N. J. Admin. Code 7:12 that reclassify shellfish waters based on water quality surveys, modify the provisions regarding immediate temporary suspensions of harvest to provide that temporary restrictions may be imposed short of suspension, and include the annually updated Vibrio parahaemolyticus (a pathogen that infects oysters and can cause illness when the oysters are consumed) management plan as a basis for suspending or restricting shellfish harvest. The rule took effect January 3, 2011, and expires May 14, 2013. http://www.lexisnexis.com/njoal/ 43 N.J.R. 34a.
