The opportunity for public comments in the proposed agreement between the NJ Department of Environmental Protection and the developers of a new Super Walmart along Route 37 on the Toms River-Manchester border is expected to last until mid-March, said a department spokesman.

The agreement, which was announced in the Jan. 12 DEP Bulletin, a compilation of permit applications and decisions, would require developer Jaylin Holdings to preserve forest inhabited by threatened pine snakes while allowing the superstore and its parking lot to be built on 21 acres, while preserving 212 acres of land.
