This Flood Insurance Study (FIS) may not contain all data available within the repository. It is advisable to contact the community repository for any additional data. Selected Flood Insurance Rate Map panels for the communities within Warren County contain information that was previously shown separately on the corresponding Flood Boundary and Floodway Map panels (e.g., floodways, cross sections). In addition, former flood hazard zone designations have been changed as follows: Old Zone New Zone A1 through A30 AE V1 through V30 VE B X C X Part or all of this FIS may be revised and republished at any time. In addition, part of this FIS may be revised by the Letter of Map Revision process, which does not involve republication or redistribution of the FIS. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the user to consult with community officials and to check the community repository to obtain the most current FIS components.

This FIS aids in the administration of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. This FIS has developed flood risk data for various areas of the county that will be used to establish actuarial flood insurance rates. This information will also be used by Warren County to update existing floodplain regulations as part of the Regular Phase of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and will also be used by local and regional planners to further promote sound land use and floodplain development. Minimum floodplain management requirements for participation in the NFIP are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations at 44 CFR, 60.3. In some States or communities, floodplain management criteria or regulations may exist that are more restrictive or comprehensive than the minimum Federal requirements. In such cases, the more restrictive criteria take precedence and the State (or other jurisdictional agency) will be able to explain them. 1.2 Authority and Acknowledgments The sources of authority for this FIS are the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.

  • Section 3. County Profile
    Section 3: County Profile SECTION 3. COUNTY PROFILE This profile describes the general information of the County (physical setting, population and demographics, general building stock, and land use and population trends) and critical facilities located within Morris County. In Section 3, specific profile information is presented and analyzed to develop an understanding of the study area, including the economic, structural, and population assets at risk and the particular concerns that may be present related to hazards analyzed (for example, a high percentage of vulnerable persons in an area). 2020 HMP Changes The “County Profile” is now located in Section 3; previously located in Section 4. It contains updated information regarding the County's physical setting, population and demographics and trends, general building stock, land use and trends, potential new development and critical facilities. This includes U.S. Census ACS 2017 data and additional information regarding the New Jersey Highlands Region in the Development Trends/Future Development subsection. Critical facilities identified as community lifelines using FEMA’s lifeline definition and seven categories were added to the inventory and described in this section. 3.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Morris County is one of the fastest growing counties in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut metropolitan region. It is located amid rolling hills, broad valleys, and lakes approximately 30 miles northwest of New York City. The County was created by an Act of the State Legislature on March 15, 1738, separating it from Hunterdon County. Morris County was named after Colonel Lewis Morris, then Governor of the Province of New Jersey (the area that now includes Morris, Sussex, and Warren Counties).

  • Musconetcong River Study Report, New Jersey
    MUSCONETCONG RIVER NATIONAL WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS STUDY FINAL STUDY REPORT Prepared by: Musconetcong Advisory Committee Musconetcong Watershed Association Heritage Conservancy National Park Service June 2004 The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute their endorsement by the U.S. Government. M USCONETCONG R IVER N A TIONAL W ILD AND S CENIC R IVERS S TUDY Executive Summary The Musconetcong River drains a 157.6 square mile watershed area in northern New Jersey, and as a major tributary to the Delaware River, is part of the 12,755 square mile Delaware River watershed. It flows 42.5 miles in a general southwest direction. The Musconetcong River, nestled in the heart of the New Jersey Highlands region, features a remarkably diverse array of natural and cultural resources. The limestone geologic features present in the Musconetcong River corridor are unique in the state, and the steep slopes and forested ridges in the upper segments of the river corridor contrast with the historic villages, pastures, and rolling agricultural lands at the middle and lower end of the river valley. For its entire length the Musconetcong River is a boundary water, first dividing Morris and Sussex counties, then Hunterdon and Warren Counties. All or portions of 25 municipalities lie within the natural boundaries of the Musconetcong River watershed. Fourteen municipalities fall within the river segments eligible for National Wild and Scenic Rivers designation.

George M. Farlekas Prepared in cooperation with the Delaware River Basin Commission Trenton, New Jersey October 1966 Open-file report PREFACE This is the second of two reports on flood inundation along the Delaware River. This report presents data on the extent, depth, and frequency of flooding of the Delaware River in the vicinity of Belvidere, N.J. The area delineated in the first open-file report (Farlekas, 1965) is from southern limit of this report to the Northampton-Bucks County line. This flood inundation study is part of an investigative program financed through a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Delaware River Basin Commission. The report was prepared under the direction of J. E. McCall, district chief, U.S. Geological Survey, Trenton, N.J. Technical guidance was furnished by J. A. Bettendorf, and A. C.

Specifically, assessment of the impact on three alternatives, namely, no action, partial dam removal and full dam removal of the Finesville Dam is made. Assessments were made of the impact of these three alternatives relative to air quality, noise, water resources, sediment, vegetation, aquatic resources, wetland resources, threatened and endangered species, cultural resources, environmental justice, hazardous waste and materials.
