9.11 BOROUGH OF PROSPECT PARK

This section presents the jurisdictional annex for the Borough of Prospect Park. The annex includes a general overview of the Borough; an assessment of the Borough of Prospect Park’s risk, vulnerability, and mitigation capabilities; and a prioritized action plan to implement prior to a disaster to reduce future losses and achieve greater resilience to natural hazards.

9.11.1 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team The following individuals are the Borough of Prospect Park’s identified HMP update primary and alternate points of contact and NFIP Floodplain Administrator.

Table 9.11-1. Hazard Mitigation Planning Team

Primary Point of Contact Alternate Point of Contact Ariosto Rodriguez, OEM Coordinator Yeisy Reyes, Deputy OEM Coordinator 106 Brown Ave., Prospect Park, NJ 07508 106 Brown Ave., Prospect Park, NJ 075 973-288-5729 973-641-8435 [email protected] [email protected]

NFIP Floodplain Administrator Kenneth Valt, DPW Supervisor 106 Brown Ave., Prospect Park, NJ 075 973-296-0101 [email protected] 9.11.2 Jurisdiction Profile The early Dutch settlements in the area built a strong sense of community that has grown alongside the Borough’s growth. The Prospect Park Quarry was opened in 1901, the same year as the Borough’s incorporation as an independent municipality. The Quarry remained opened and owned by multiple families and companies until the 1980’s. After its closure, Tilcon employed a mineral collector to identify and preserve minerals and crystals that can be seen on display at the Smithsonian, the American Museum of Natural History and the Paterson Museum. Today, Prospect Park is governed by the Borough form of government (Borough of Prospect Park 2014).

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Borough has a total land area of 0.478 square miles, of which 0.475 square miles is land and 0.003 square miles is water.

According to the U.S. Census, the 2010 population for the Borough of Prospect Park was 5,865. The estimated 2017 population was 5,955, a 1.5 percent increase from the 2010 Census. Data from the 2017 U.S. Census American Community Survey indicate that 7.5 percent of the population is 5 years of age or younger and 8 percent is 65 years of age or older. Communities must deploy a support system that enables all populations to safely reach shelters or to quickly evacuate a hazard area.

9.11.3 Growth/Development Trends Understanding how past, current, and projected development patterns have or are likely to increase or decrease risk in hazard areas is a key component to understanding a jurisdiction’s overall risk to its hazards

DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update – Passaic County, New Jersey 9.11-1 June 2020 Section 9.11 - Borough of Prospect Park of concern. Table 9.11-2 summarizes recent and expected future development trends, including major residential/commercial development and major infrastructure development. Figures 9.11-1 and 9.11-2 at the end of this annex illustrate the geographically-delineated hazard areas and the location of potential new development.

Section 5 (Capability Assessment) describes the components included in the capability assessment and their significance for hazard mitigation planning. This section summarizes the following findings of the assessment:

. An assessment of legal and regulatory capabilities. . Development and permitting capabilities. . An assessment of fiscal capabilities. . An assessment of education and outreach capabilities. . Information on National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) compliance. . Classification under various community mitigation programs. . The community’s adaptive capacity for the impacts of climate change.

For a community to succeed in reducing long-term risk, hazard mitigation must be integrated into the day- to-day local government operations. As part of this planning effort, planning/policy documents were reviewed, and each jurisdiction was surveyed to obtain a better understanding of their progress in plan

ADDITIONAL AREAS OF EXISTING INTEGRATION . Master Plan 2009: This Plan focuses on maintaining the existing character and identity of the Borough, while planning for future development and redevelopment. The North 8th Street and Haledon Ave commercial districts are underutilized, and the former Tilcon Quarry remains closed and unused as well; these areas offer opportunities for growth and redevelopment to enhance the residential and commercial structure of the Borough. The Borough seeks to preserve and expand its open space and recreational facilities to improve the health of its residents and the environment. Proposed plans for the redevelopment of the Tilcon Quarry include using smart growth and sustainable design ideas, such as solar orientation and energy management, drought tolerant and native landscaping, high efficiency irrigation systems and natural filtration of stormwater. . Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (2006): This Plan outlines how the Borough will monitor and enforce pollution prevention and stormwater management in accordance with the guidelines and standards required by the NJDEP. The Plan also lists the Borough’s ordinances that pertain to the reduction of various forms of pollution. The DPW has a stormwater maintenance schedule to inspect, maintain and clear the stormwater drains monthly and after events.

DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update – Passaic County, New Jersey 9.11-9 June 2020 Section 9.11 - Borough of Prospect Park

. Ordinances: The Borough does not have their ordinances and flood protection measures available on their website. . Outreach: The Borough’s website has information regarding upcoming community events and public health notices, including free flu shot clinics for their residents. The site also has a webpage for the Office of Emergency Management, which provides information about the Office and its contact information. The website is used to post information on preparedness for natural hazard and weather events. The Borough also recently established a Facebook account to communicate with residents. Further, the school system notifies parents via Reverse 911. . Mutual Aid/Cooperative Agreements: The schools and the Fire Department work together to bring fire prevention into the schools including education on carbon monoxide monitoring, smoke detectors, evacuation/escape plan, and drills. . The elementary school has a dedicated full-time police officer that services the school. Similarly, the regional high school, has a dedicated officer supplied by Haledon. The schools also offer a Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program.

9.11.5 Hazard Event History Specific to the Jurisdiction Passaic County has a history of hazard events, as detailed in Section 4 (Risk Assessment) of this plan. A summary of historical events is provided in each of the hazard profiles in Section 4.4 (Hazard Profiles) and includes a chronology of events that affected Passaic County and its jurisdictions. The Borough of Prospect Park’s history of federally-declared (as presented by FEMA) and significant hazard events (as presented in NOAA-NCEI) is consistent with that of Passaic County. Table 9.11-10 provides details regarding municipal-specific loss and damages the Borough of Prospect Park experienced during hazard events. Information provided in the table below is based on reference material or local sources.

9.11.6 Jurisdiction-Specific Vulnerabilities and Hazard ranking The hazard profiles in Section 4 (Risk Assessment) provide detailed information regarding each plan participant’s vulnerability to the identified hazards. Table X summarizes the Borough of Prospect Park risk assessment results and data used to determine the hazard ranking.

In an attempt to summarize the confidence level regarding the input utilized to populate the hazard ranking, a gradient of certainty was developed. A certainty factor of high, medium or low was selected and assigned to each hazard to provide a level of transparency and increased understanding of the data utilized to support the resulting ranking. The following scale was used to assign a certainty factor to each hazard:

. High—Defined scenario/event to evaluate; probability calculated; evidenced-based/quantitative assessment to estimate potential impacts through hazard modeling. . Moderate—Defined scenario/event or only a hazard area to evaluate; estimated probability; combination of quantitative (exposure analysis, no hazard modeling) and qualitative data to estimate potential impacts. . Low—Scenario or hazard area is undefined; there is a degree of uncertainty regarding event probability; majority of potential impacts are qualitative.

Table 9.11-12. Potential Flood Losses to Critical Facilities and Lifelines Exposure Name Type 1% Event 0.2% Event Status of Mitigation There are no identified critical facilities located in the floodplain

ADDITIONAL IDENTIFIED VULNERABILITIES The Borough of Prospect Park is impacted by flooding from the Passaic River, Pequannock River, and Wanaque River. The low-lying areas of the Borough are typically the areas most likely to flood (FEMA FIS 2007).

HAZARD AREA EXTENT AND LOCATION Hazard area extent and location maps were generated for the Borough of Prospect Park that illustrate the probable areas impacted within the municipality. These maps are based on the best available data at the time of the preparation of this plan and are adequate for planning purposes. Maps have been generated only for those hazards that can be clearly identified using mapping techniques and technologies and for which the Borough of Prospect Park has significant exposure. A map of the Borough of Prospect Park hazard area extent and location is provided on the following page. This map indicates the location of the regulatory floodplain, as well as identified critical facilities within the municipality.

HAZARD RANKING This section includes the community specific identification of the primary hazard concerns based on identified problems, impacts and the results of the risk assessment as presented in Section 5 (Risk Assessment). The ranking process involves an assessment of the likelihood of occurrence for each hazard; its potential impacts on people, property, and the economy; community capability and changing future climate conditions. This input supports the mitigation action development to target those hazards with highest level of concern.

As discussed in Section 4.3 (Hazard Ranking), each plan participant may have differing degrees of risk exposure and vulnerability compared to Passaic County as a whole. Therefore, each jurisdiction ranked the degree of risk to each hazard as it pertains to their community factoring in their capabilities to withstand impacts and bounce back after the event. The table below summarizes the hazard rankings of potential

DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update – Passaic County, New Jersey 9.11-14 June 2020 Section 9.11 - Borough of Prospect Park natural hazards for the Borough of Prospect Park. The Borough of Prospect Park has reviewed the Passaic County hazard ranking table, as well as its individual results, to reflect the relative risk of the hazards of concern to the community.

Identify high frequency crash locations throughout the Borough and develop mitigation measures to address the cause of the crashes, such as sight distance issues. Also, conduct traffic counts at these intersections to prepare the mitigation studies. 8. Review the current truck routes especially if deliveries to the new development would make trucks use other streets that they did not use before.

PROPOSED HAZARD MITIGATION INITIATIVES FOR THE PLAN UPDATE The Borough of Prospect Park participated in a risk assessment workshop in January 2020 in which detailed information was provided about assets exposed and vulnerable to the identified hazards of concern. The Borough of Prospect Park participated in a mitigation action workshop in February 2020 and was provided a Mitigation Toolbox that included a mitigation catalog developed specifically for Passaic County and its hazards of concerns; challenges and opportunities identified during the capability and risk assessments; and the following FEMA publications to use as a resource as part of their comprehensive review of all possible activities and mitigation measures to address their hazards: FEMA 551 Selecting Appropriate Mitigation Measures for Floodprone Structures (March 2007) and FEMA Mitigation Ideas – A Resource for Reducing Risk to Natural Hazards (January 2013). Section 6 (Mitigation Strategy) and Appendix F (Mitigation Strategy Supplement) provide a more complete description of the Mitigation Toolbox and its resources.

DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update – Passaic County, New Jersey 9.11-16 June 2020 Section 9.11 - Borough of Prospect Park

Table 9.11-16 summarizes the comprehensive-range of specific mitigation initiatives the Borough of Prospect Park would like to pursue in the future to reduce the effects of hazards. Some of these initiatives might be previous actions carried forward for this HMP update. Initiatives are dependent upon available funding (grants and local match availability) and can be modified or omitted at any time based on the occurrence of new hazard events and changes in municipal priorities. Both the 4 FEMA mitigation action categories and the 6 CRS mitigation action categories are listed in the table below to further demonstrate the wide-range of activities and mitigation measures selected.

As discussed in Section 6 (Mitigation Strategy), 14 criteria were used to evaluate each action, including an evaluation of the benefits and costs. For each new mitigation action, a numeric rank was assigned (-1, 0, or 1) for each of the 14 evaluation criteria. The results of this evaluation, in addition to input from the jurisdiction, were then used to prioritize the mitigation initiatives as ‘High’, ‘Medium’, or ‘Low.’ Table 9.11-17 summarizes the evaluation of each mitigation initiative and the resulting priority, listed by Action Number.

Mitigation Category:  Local Plans and Regulations (LPR) – These actions include government authorities, policies or codes that influence the way land and buildings are being developed and built.  Structure and Infrastructure Project (SIP) - These actions involve modifying existing structures and infrastructure to protect them from a hazard or remove them from a hazard area. This could apply to public or private structures as well as critical facilities and infrastructure. This type of action also involves projects to construct manmade structures to reduce the impact of hazards.  Natural Systems Protection (NSP) – These are actions that minimize damage and losses and preserve or restore the functions of natural systems.  Education and Awareness Programs (EAP) – These are actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials, and property owners about hazards and potential ways to mitigate them. These actions may also include participation in national programs, such as StormReady and Firewise Communities. CRS Category:  Preventative Measures (PR) - Government, administrative or regulatory actions, or processes that influence the way land and buildings are developed and built. Examples include planning and zoning, floodplain local laws, capital improvement programs, open space preservation, and storm water management regulations.  Property Protection (PP) - These actions include public activities to reduce hazard losses or actions that involve (1) modification of existing buildings or structures to protect them from a hazard or (2) removal of the structures from the hazard area. Examples include acquisition, elevation, relocation, structural retrofits, storm shutters, and shatter-resistant glass.  Public Information (PI) - Actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials, and property owners about hazards and potential ways to mitigate them. Actions include outreach projects, real estate disclosure, hazard information centers, and educational programs for school-age children and adults.  Natural Resource Protection (NR) - Actions that minimize hazard loss and preserve or restore the functions of natural systems. Actions include sediment and erosion control, stream corridor restoration, watershed management, forest and vegetation management, and wetland restoration and preservation.  Structural Flood Control Projects (SP) - Actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the impact of a hazard. Structures include dams, setback levees, floodwalls, retaining walls, and safe rooms.  Emergency Services (ES) - Actions that protect people and property during and immediately following a disaster or hazard event. Services include warning systems, emergency response services, and the protection of essential facilities.
