A notice of intent to settle was published: the department has entered a settlement agreement that would issue a flood hazard area individual permit, a flood hazard area method 6 verification, a transition area waiver for special activity redevelopment, freshwater wetlands general permits 6 and 7 and a transition area waiver averaging plan, resolving the appeal of the 18 August 2023 denial of permit application 0803-19-0002.2 LUP230001. The authorisation would allow a 200,000 square foot warehouse with parking and stormwater management on the property and verify the flood hazard area and floodway of the Clomell Creek.

What usually comes next
Projects like this often need county or state permits before any work starts on the land. Some skip that step and start building.
DEP Bulletin carries a notice of intent to settle Watson Land Company's appeal of a 2023 permit denial; the settlement would issue flood hazard and wetlands permits for a 200,000 square foot warehouse at 197 Timberland Road, with comments due September 4, 2026.
Extensions of approval granted eight votes to none: a one year extension from 18 April 2025 to 18 April 2026, and a further three years to 18 April 2029.
Preliminary and final major site plan approval for the warehouse. The date and the approval are as recorded in the board's later extension hearing.
