One of the functions of the Mahwah Township Environmental Commission is the gathering of pertinent environmental information which can be used by the Township in its development review process. One form that this information gathering can take is the publishing of a Natural Resource Inventory. The original Mahwah Township Natural Resource Inventory was prepared in 1974. Over the last 19 years many of the conditions in the Township have changed and more accurate and comprehensive environmental data has been gathered by various Federal, State and Local Resource agencies. Also, a number of new laws have been enacted which afford protection for the Township's natural resources.
Therefore, in order to insure that.the Township had available the most current environmental data, the Commission authorized the preparation of an updated Natural Resource Inventory (NRI). This updated NRI contains the most recent information on soils, geology, rare and endangered species, floodplains, wetlands, steep slopes, vegetation, the effect of the Route 287 extension and the impacts of condominium development in the Township of Mahwah. Additionally, the report contains a Land Use/Land Cover Plan for the Township that was prepared using the NJDEPE's Integrated Terrain Unit database and a copy of the NJDEPE's new Surface Water Quality Standards.
1.1 Purpose
One of the primary functions of a municipal environmental commission is to provide guidance to the Township on the potential impacts of land development activities on the natural resources of the community. Land is the basic natural resource of every community. The growth of a community necessitates the use of this 1 - resource. The quality and character of life in a community, therefore, will be determined by how the land is used to - accommodate the community's growth.
Proper land use planning requires that any decision making process be based on the most comprehensive and up to date information. The NRI is an important tool used in performing this function since it provides a comprehensive environmental data base on which to make land use planning decisions. The NRI can also be I used as an educational resource, a reference source for environmental data, indicating which natural resources should be conserved or preserved, and as a base line of the community's environment.
Mahwah Township's NRI includes an analyses and survey of the natural environment in the Township. This text, and the new Land Use/Land Cover Map constitute an update of the Natural Resource Inventory for Mahwah Township. Important natural features were mapped through the use of computer aided drafting technique and Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques. Mapped information has been digitized and computerized onto a base of the Township resulting in a display of natural features as they relate to man-made features such as streets and municipal boundaries. The computer based mapping can be generated at a variety of scales. The information contained in this NRI can serve as an important data base for input into land use development decisions. This information is important to a community like Mahwah Township which retains large areas of undeveloped and agricultural'land and is subject to significant development pressure due to its locations near the New York metropolitan area.
2 2.0 GEOGLOGY
A review of the Geologic Map of New Jersey indicates that the Township of Mahwah (formerly called Hohokus Township) consists of five types of bedrock geology. They are: Byram Gneiss, Basalt Flows, Brunswick Formation, Stratified Drift (Wisconsin) and Terminal Moraines of the last (Wisconsin) glacial epoch.
The Byram Gneiss consists of Pre-Cambrian,gray granitoid gneiss composed of microcline, microperthite, quartz, hornblende, or pyroxene, and sometimes mica. Magnetic iron ore occurs in Byram Gneiss. Desirable building stone is obtained from this formation. The Byram Gneiss formation is located west of the Ramapo River stream valley and dominates the Ramapo Mountains. This area is in - the Highlands physiographic province of New Jersey.
The Basalt Flows consist of Triassic (Newark Group) fine- grained trap rock in extensive flows. Crushed stone, used in road, metal and concrete manufacturing, is found in the trap rock Newark Group.
The Brunswick Formation consists of Triassic (Newark Group) soft red shale with sandstone beds.I Desirable building stone is obtained from Newark Group sandstones.
The Stratified Drift (Wisconsin) formation consists of Quaternary sandy and gravel plains, deltas, eskers, kames, and
I terraces, chiefly north of the terminal moraine and in the valleys leading south from it. The surface coverings are of variable thickness and generally unconsolidated.
The Terminal Moraines of the last (Wisconsin) glacial epoch formation consists of a Quaternary belt of irregular hummocks accumulations of clay, sand, gravel, and boulders, in confused mixture.
3 The area adjacent to the Ramapo River and east of it is dominated by the Brunswick Formation and smaller areas of Stratified Drift, Basalt flows and Terminal Moraines of the last (Wisconsin) glacial epoch. This portion of the Township is in the Piedmont Plain physiographic province of New Jersey. West of the Ramapo River occurs the Highlands physiographic province.
The amount and availability of underground water in the Township are determined largely by the character of the bedrock ;I geology and the particular physiographic 'provinces which are present. In the Highlands province in general, the bedrock geology (several varieties of gneiss) is not very porous and no definite water-bearing beds occur. This condition is offset in part at least by the fact that the rocks are broken by numerous joint I cracks and fault fissures, which admit considerable amount of underground water.
Historically, some iron mines in the Highlands province have shown the presence of underground water. While some of the mines are comparatively dry, others that cut important fault fissures encounter large volumes of water. This suggests that deep wells (250-300 feet) in the Highlands are more likely to develop larger volumes if they are situated. near fault zones. Well records indicate that the chances of obtaining a supply of water decreases progressively below the 250 or 300 feet level in this province.
-
In the Piedmont Plain province, the bedrock geology is chiefly I shales and sandstones of the Triassic system (Brunswick formation). Although no well-defined water-bearing beds are known, considerable
Y amounts of water an be found in the softer formations. Wells in these regions can be drilled more easily and cheaply than those of the areas of gneiss. In the area of Basalt Flows (south-central section of the Township), the rocks are exceedingly hard and tough. Wells drilled into this formation are done so at great expense and 4 to depths of hundreds of feet. Many have failed to find an adequate supply of water.
While the Triassic bedrock (Brunswick Formation and Basalt Flows) do not produce wells of great volumes, the formations consisting of glacial deposits (Stratified Drift and Terminal Moraines) have produced flowing wells of great volume in a few places in the Piedmont Plain. These beds of open gravel and sand covered by impervious layers of clay furnish favorable conditions for the accumulation of large supplies of water under considerable pressure.
5 3.0 SOILS
In July of 1990, the Bergen County Soil Conservation District, in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, published the Interim Soil Survey of Bergen County New Jersey. This survey provides various types of information on the edaphic, or soil-related, conditions in the county. These include soil descriptions, their location, their suitability, limitations, and management for specified uses. In addition, information on the steepness of slopes, the general pattern of drainage, the kinds of crops and native plants growing on the soils and the kinds of bedrock are provided. Soil types are generally found in an orderly pattern on the landscape which is usually related to the geology, the landforms, relief, climate, and the vegetation of the area. A soil map is then constructed with the various soil types, or mapping units, delineated.
A mapping unit represents an area in the landscape that is dominated by one major type of soil or an area dominated by several kinds of soil. A mapping unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soil or soils. Soils that have profiles (a vertical section of the soil through all its horizons, or layers, and extending into the parent material) that are almost alike make up a soil series. Differences in a soil series can relate to the texture of the surface layer or of the underlying material or in slope, stoniness, salinity, wetness, or degree of erosion. Due to these differences, soil series are sometimes divided into soil phases. For example, in Mahwah Township, the soil series, Boonton, has at least four phases related to soil texture or urbanization and even more related to slope conditions.
A soil complex, or association, is formed when the mapping unit is composed of two or more major soils. Boonton-Urban land 6 complex and Rockaway - 'Rock outcrop complex are examples of a s.dil complex. A list of soil types found in Mahwah Township can be found in Table 1. A short description of the soil types are included below. Full soil descriptions of these soil types can be found in the Interim Soil Survey of Bergen County (July 1990).
3.1 Descriptions of Soil Types in Mahwah Township Arian Muck (Ad, Pa) This soil is level or nearly level and very poorly drained. It occurs in depressional areas on outwash plains. Typically, the Adrian soils have black layers of muck about 25 inches thick. The substratum is stratified brown gravelly sand through dark gray loamy sand to a depth of 66 inches. Most areas of this soil are in their natural state and contain trees, shrubs and other herbaceous plants suited to wetlands. The frequent flooding, prolonged seasonal high water table, and low bearing strength are limited factors for most uses.

16 4.0 .RARE AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
In order to obtain information on rare and endangered species which may occur in Mahwah Township, a database search was requested through the Natural Heritage Program of the Division of Parks and The Natural Heritage Database is New Jersey's I Forestry, NJDEPE. most comprehensive, centralized source of information on rare plants, animals, and natural communities. It is a compilation of information from a broad range of sources including museum and herbarium collection records, publications, knowledgeable experts, and fieldwork. The Endangered and Nongame Species Program provides the database with information on rare animals and the office of
(I Natural Lands Management provides data on rare plants, animals, and natural communities. The database is continuously updated and improved as new data is obtained.
Resource planners can save time and money by referring to the database for comprehensive Natural Heritage data. By consulting the database early in the planning stages, planners can alleviate I possible conflicts by determining whether the intended location for a give project includes known rare species occurrences. Municipalities and counties also can use the database information for inclusion in their natural resource inventories and open space I II plans.
The Natural Heritage Database lists five species of rare and endangered vertebrate animals which may occur in Mahwah Township. This includes Cooper's hawk, Grasshopper sparrow, Wood turtle, Timber rattlesnake and Barred owl. In addition, there were five species of invertebrate animals listed for the Township which included four insects: Mottled darner, Lilypad clubtail, Sable clubtail and Gray petaltail. The listed invertebrate animals also includes one species of mussel, the Yellow lampmussel.
17 Six species of vascular plants were listed and inlcude: Purple giant hyssop, Cornel-leaved aster, Hemicarpa, Virginia bunchflower, Torrey's mountain mint, and New England blackberry. All of these species are documented for Mahwah Township.
The Natural Heritage Program provides index maps which delineate general areas in which the above listed occurrences are located in the Township for the County. A list of rare species and natural communities which are presently documented in Bergen County was also provided. Seventeen species of vertebrate fauna, ten species of invertebrate fauna and fifty species of vascular plants were on the list.
A complete copy of the database search provided by the Natural Heritage Program is included in Appendix A.
This material, supplied by the Office of Natural Lands Management, can not be published without credits the Natural Heritage Database as the source of the material. In addition, there are cautions and restrictions on Natural Heritage data whenever it is published. These cautions and restrictions are as follows:

The quantity and quality of data collected by the Natural Heritage Program is dependent on the research and observations of many individuals and organizations. Not all of this information is the result of comprehensive or site-specific field surveys. Some natural areas in New Jersey have never been thoroughly surveyed. As a result, new locations for plant and animal species are continuously added to the data base. Since data acquisition is a dynamic, ongoing process, the Natural Heritage Program cannot provide a definitive statement on the presence, absence, or condition of biological elements in any part of New Jersey, 18 Information supplied by the Natural Heritage Program summarizes existing data known to the program at the time of the request regarding the biological elements in any part of New Jersey. Information supplied by the Natural Heritage Program summarizes existing data known to the program at the time of the request regarding the biological elements or locations in question. They should never be regarded as final statements on the elements or areas being considered, nor should they be substituted for on-site surveys required for environmental assessments. The attached data is provided as one source of information to' assist others in the preservation of natural diversity.
This office cannot provide a letter of interpretation or a statement addressing the classification of wetlands as defined by the Freshwater Wetlands Act. Requests for such determination should be sent to the DEPE Land Use Regulation Program, CN 401, Trenton, NJ 08625-0401.
This cautions and restrictions notice must be included whenever information provided by the National Heritage Database is published."
In addition to the Natural Heritage Database search, Dr. Eric Karlin, of the Institute for Environmental Studies of Ramapo College, Mahwah, was contacted for information on the natural history of the area and any environmental concerns that he may be aware of. He provided the information indicating that the only known location in New Jersey for the sphagnum moss, Sphaqnum platyphyllum, is in the vicinity of Bear Swamp Lake. Dr. Karlin also stated that the Timber Rattlesnake, Crotalus horridus, is still denning in areas of the Ramapo Mountains.
Although both of these species are not federally listed, they are listed by the State of New Jersey as Endangered species. An 19 endangered species is one whose prospects for survival within the state are in immediate danger due to one or many factors - a loss of habitat, over exploitation, predation, competition, disease. An endangered species requires immediate assistance or extinction will probably follow.
20 5.0 FLOODPLAINS
Floodplains are well-defined, broad, flat, valley surfaces that are covered with water when a stream overflows its banks. The typical structure of a classic floodplain has the land closest to the water (the outer part of the floodplain) slightly higher in elevation and better drained than the inner or back side of the floodplain. The inner part is not usually as well drained because
II it is lower and receives seepage from higher.adjacent terrace land and because its soil is less sandy textured than that of the outer floodplain.
The frequency, duration, and depth of flooding in floodplains variwa. However, the vegetation that exists in floodplains within the Township is the same type of plant community as that found in swamps.
- Against the advice of scientists, the land of the floodplains have been developed for residential or industrial buildings in the past. As predicted, the result has been flooding of this or compensatory land at times when streams are unable to contain heavy downpours of rain or accumulations of snow melt.
Floodplain forests on the lowlands bordering inland streams I serve as protectors against flood damage from swollen rivers. Floods tend to occur in inland New Jersey in spring when fast melt I of snow accumulations in the northern part .of the state adds abnormally large volumes of water to upland river sources. At other times of the year very heavy and concentrated rainfall may add more water to rivers than the stream banks can contain. The simplest and most effective way to moderate the intensity of flood damage in either case is the preservation of natural floodplain forests along river courses. Such areas act to dampen the 21 temporary excess surges.of water. In places where these temporary water storage areas have been eliminated because floodplain forests have been cleared or marshlands have been filled in, the floodplains are less restrained and hence more likely to overrun settled areas causing extensive property damage and, in some cases, loss of life. Residential developments, industrial plants and transportation facilities on lowlands have been heavily damaged as well as roads being washed out, and water supply, sewer and power plants made inoperative due to floods caused by tropical storms in
111 New Jersey.
The extent of the damage caused by the storm resulted in a I much greater appreciation and understanding of the need to restrict development of the state's lowlands.
Flood Prone Areas in Mahwah Township
Floodplains in Mahwah Township constitute a minor, although important, component of land cover. Flood prone areas occur along the Ramapo River and its tributaries as well as Hohokus Brook and its tributaries. The majority of flood prone areas are associated with the Ramapo River, which due to its size contains, or did contain, the widest floodplains.
6.0 WETLANDS
Wetlands can generally be defined as wet habitats occurring between uplands and deepwater areas. Although wetlands vary based on their location and characteristics, many wetlands are important natural resources with numerous values such as fish and wildlife habitat, flood protection, erosion control, water quality maintenance, and recreation.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers defined wetlands using the "3 22 parameter" approach which consists of hydrology, soils and vegetation. Their definition states that wetlands tire "those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions."
Although exact numbers are not available for the Township of Mahwah for the extent of wetlands, Bergen County as a whole ranks 16th among New Jersey's counties in the extent of wetlands. Approximately 7% of the county is covered by wetlands (10,684 acres). The major type of wetlands found in Bergen County and in Mahwah Township are those associated with surface water bodies i.e. Palustrine Wetlands. These wetlands consist of freshwater marshes, bogs t swamps and bottomland forests.
In addition to the Palustrine wetlands found in Mahwah Township, two other types are present to a lesser degree. Riverine wetlands are associated with freshwater rivers and their
I tributaries. They are defined as wetlands that are restricted to nonpersistent emergent wetlands, aquatic beds and unvegetated shallow water or exposed areas. Riverine wetlands are only found along sections of the Ramapo river which does not have extensive Palustrine wetlands in Mahwah Township. The remaining wetland type I is the Lacustrine wetland associated with lakes, reservoirs and deep ponds. This wetland type is not well represented in the Township with only two examples present. These are Bear Swamp Lake in the Ramapo Mountains and an unnamed gravel pit east of Hawk Rock
I adjacent to the Ramapo River. The distribution and size of wetlands are shown on the enclosed Land Use/Land Cover Map.
23 I 7.0 STEEP SLOPES
Slope is defined as the inclination of the ground with respect to a level plane. It is expressed as a percent and is read as difference in vertical height, in feet, for each 100 feet of horizontal distance. Areas containing both steep slopes and gentle slopes can cause problems for development activities. Relatively level ground may be more prone to flooding due to poor surface water runoff conditions. Steep slope areas may be more prone to erosion when disturbed by construction activities.
The Slope map prepared for the 1992 NRI Update shows slope, as derived from previously mapped aerial photos in three categories: less than 5%; 5-15%; greater than 15%.
Slopes that are less than 2% (O-2%) drain poorly because of inherent drainage problems resulting from the relatively flat land. This represents severe limitations to construction and development. Slopes in the 3-5% group represent only slight limitations. Moderate slopes (5-15%) have moderate limitations which will raise construction costs, the possibility of erosion, and difficulties in applying septic‘systems. Careful design and construction can take advantage of the topography .and overcome these difficulties. Slopes over 15% represent severe development problems. Steep slopes create certain basic construction problems relating to soil instability. Exposure of soil on steep slopes during construction activities can result in severe erosion problems if proper erosion control measures are not implemented.
The terrain in Mahwah Township varies from gently rolling east of the Ramapo river and gentle to steep slopes west of the Ramapo River on the Ramapo Mountains. Exceptions to the gently rolling terrain east of the Ramapo River are steep slpe areas associated with the Campgaw Mountain located in the southern section of the Township, Masonicus Brook in West Mahwah, and adjacent to the
24 intersection of Masonicus Road and East Crescent Avenue.
I 8.0 VEGETATION
The vegetation of a particular area is dependent on climatic, as well as geologic, elements. The climate and soil conditions influence which species will dominate a particular area. Animals also have effects on vegetation of an area. These can both be favorable and unfavorable. The increasing deer population in the State of New Jersey would be an example of an unfavorable effect. This is due to the extensive damage that deer can cause to forest vegetation through browsing. Deer also cause damage to landscaping plants in residential areas. Human activities have perhaps the greatest impact on natural vegetation. The accommodation of an ever increasing population together with the trend toward more industrialization and urbanization means that each year less natural vegetation remains.
The Township of Mahwah is relatively diverse in its geology, soils and vegetation. The varied geologic aspect of the Township has resulted in the formation of various soil types which, in turn, results in the assemblage of many types of plant communities.
The communities in the Township have been categorized into the following vegetation types: Maple-Ash-Popular Succession, Oak- Maple Climax, Coniferous Dominant, Floodplain, Raised Bog and Meadow or Field. The following list is a revision of the original list done in the 1974 NRI. Please refer to Land Use/Land Cover Map for distribution of landcover types in the Township.

28 9.0 IMPACTS OF ROUTE I-287 EXTENSION
The construction of I-287 has had a number of impacts on the Township of Mahwah and use of the highway by the motoring public will continue to have impacts in the future.
According to the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Section 4(f) Evaluation for I-287 prepared in the mid 1980's the construction of I-287 was expected to reduce traffic on Route 202 by 'over 50% and Route 17 by 10 to 15%. Lesser reductions or no reductions in traffic were anticipated for other Township roads. The reduction in traffic in turn was expected to result in lower air pollution levels adjacent to Routes 202 and 17.
A significant impact to the natural resources of Mahwah resulting from the construction of I-287 was the loss of terrestrial habitat, particularly upland woodland in areas in and adjacent to the Campgaw Reservation, Darlington County Park and Ramapo College. The construction of I-287 also affected approximately 3 acres of freshwater wetlands in the vicinity of Meyers Lake and 8 acres of wetlands in the Ramapo River floodplain. Darlington Brooks was also adversely impacted with sediment and channelized during construction.
The I-287 project took acreage from Campgaw Reservation and Darlington County Park. The William Stires House, a historic site on Route 202 was also removed by the construction of I-287. Increased noise levels adjacent to the alignment will also be experienced due to traffic flow.
By providing better access to and from Mahwah Township to areas to the north and south, this roadway will, in turn, make Mahwah a more desirable place to live for people working to the south. A dramatic increase in growth for the Township may be expected as a result of construction of this roadway.
29 10.0 IMPACT OF TOWNHOUSE AND CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENTS
As an indication of the increasing desirability of Mahwah as a place to live, a number of condominiums projects have been constructed or approved in Mahwah Township in recent years. Already constructed are 3,340 units in ten developments. An additional 142 units are under construction, 274 units have final approval and 240 units have preliminary approval. This amounts to 3,996 units in all. The developments are located in the central and eastern portion of the Township with several developments close to Airmont Avenue to the east and Ridge Road in the center. (See attached Townhouse and Condominium Plan).
Because the developments are not focused in one location, their impacts are spread out rather than localized with the exception of local impacts on vegetation and water quality.
Assuming a typical bedroom mix and a 50/50 mix of townhouses and condominiums, 3,996 units can be expected to have a total population of approximately 8,700 and a school age children population of approximately 1,140. (Source: The New Practitioners Guide to Fiscal Impact Analysis, Robert W. Buchell, David Listoken, and William R. Dolphin, Center,for Urban Policy Research, 1985).
A total of 23,400 daily vehicle trips can also be expected to be generated by 3,996 condominium/townhouse units based on an estimated 5.86 daily vehicle trips per unit. (Source: Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation Handbook).

NATURAL HIEXITAGE INDEX MAPS
The Natural Heritage Database contains several thousand records of individual I occurrences of endangered and threatened species and ecosystems. Many of these occurrences either have not been documented in recent years or have not had habitat II boundaries delineated. Because much work remains to be done to delineate habitat boundaries and determine current status for these occurrences, Natural Heritage Index Maps were devised to red flag general areas in which the occurrences are located. The index maps are meant to be used as ‘a tool to point to areas which may be of significance for endangered biological diversity. These maps do not depict all endangered species habitat in the state, but merely general areas which contain. documented occurrences. - Many additional areas may contain unidentified or poorly documented occurrences. The maps have been produced using a computer generated grid which shades a grid II cell approximately 330 acres in size if an endangered or threatened species or ecosystem has been documented anywhere’within the cell. To use these maps, we suggest that you first find the location to be checked on the quad maps and then refer to the same grid location I of the Natural Heritage Index Maps. The Natural Heritage Program can be contacted for additional information as specific projects are planned.

MAY 1988 EXPLANATIONS OF CODES USED IN NATURAL HERITAGE REPORTS
FEDERAL STATUS CODES
The following U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service categories and their definitions of endangered and threatened plants and animals have been modified from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (F-R. Vol. 50 No. 188; Vol. 55, No. 35; F.R. 50 CFR 17.1 1 and 17.12). Federal Status codes reported for species follow the most recent listing.
LE Taxa formally listed as endangered.
LT Taxa formally listed as threatened.
PE Taxa already proposed to be formally listed as endangered.
PT Taxa already proposed to be formally listed as threatened.
Cl Taxa for which the Service currently has on file substantial information on biological vulnerability and threat(s) to support the appropriateness of proposing to list them as
I endangered or threatened species.
Cl” Taxa which may be possibly extinct (although persuasive documentation of extinction has not been made--compare to 3A status).
c2 Taxa for which information now in possession of the Service indicates that proposing to list them as endangered or threatened species is possibly appropriate, but for which substantial data on biological vulnerability and threat(s) are not currently known or on file to support the immediate preparation of rules.
I c3 Taxa that are no longer being considered for listing as threatened or endangered species. Such taxa are further coded to indicate three subcategories, depending on the reason(s) for removal from consideration. I
3A Taxa for which the Service has persuasive evidence of extinction.
36 Names that, on the basis of current taxonomic understanding, do not represent taxa meeting the Act‘s definition of “species”.
3c Taxa that have proven to be more abundant or widespread than was previously believed Natural Heritage Report Codes Page 2
and/or those that are not subject to any identifiable threat.
S/A Similarity of appearance species.
STATE STATUS CODES
Two animal lists provide state status codes after the Endangered and Nongame Species Conservation - Act of 1973 (NSSA 23:2A-13 et. seq.): the list of endangered species (N.J.A.C. 7:25-4.13) and the list defining status of indigenous, nongame wildlife species of New Jersey (N.J.A.C. 7:25-4.17(a)). The status of animal species is determined by the Nongame and Endangered Species Program (ENSP). The state status codes and definitions provided reflect the most recent lists that were revised in the New Jersey Register, Monday, June 3, 1991.
D Declining species-a species which has exhibited a continued decline in population numbers over the years.
E Endangered species-an endangered species is one whose prospects for survival within the state are in immediate danger due to one or many factors - a loss of habitat, over exploitation, predation, competition, disease. An endangered species requires immediate assistance or extinction will probably follow.
EX Extirpated species-a species that formerly occurred in New Jersey, but is not now known to exist within the state.
I Introduced species-a species not native to New Jersey that could not have established itself here without the assistance of man.
INC Increasing species-a species whose population has exhibited a significant increase, beyond the normal range of its life cycle, over a long term period.
T Threatened species-a species that may become endangered if conditions surrounding the species begin to or continue to deteriorate.
P Peripheral species-a species whose occurrence in New Jersey is at the extreme edge of its present natural range. Natural Heritage Report Codes Page 3
1 S Stable species-a species whose population is not undergoing any long-term increase/decrease within its natural cycle.
L U Undetermined species-a species about which there is not enough information available to determine the status.
-
Status for animals separated by a slash(/) indicate a duel status. First status refers to the state I) breeding population, and the second status refers to the migratory or winter population.
I Plant taxa listed as endangered are from New Jersey‘s official Endangered Plant Species List N.J.S.A. 1318-15.151 et seq. I E Native New Jersey plant species whose survival in the State or nation is in jeopardy.
REGtONAL STATUS CODES FOR PLANTS II LP Indicates taxa listed by the Pinelands Commission as endangered or threatened within
II their legal jurisdiction. Not all species currently tracked by the Pinelands Commission are tracked by the Natural Heritage Program. A complete list of endangered and threatened Pineland species is included in the New Jersey Pinelands Comprehensive Management - Plan.
EXPLANATION OF GLOBAL AND STATE ELEMENT RANKS
The Nature Conservancy has developed a ranking system for use in identifying elements (rare species and natural communities) of natural diversity most endangered with extinction. Each element is ranked L according to its global, national, and state (or subnational in other countries) rarity. These ranks are used to prioritize conservation work so that the most endangered elements receive attention first. Definitions for element ranks are after The Nature Conservancy (1982: Chapter 4, 4.1-l through - 4.4.1.3-3). Natural Heritage Report Codes Page 4
GLOBAL ELEMENT RANKS
Gl Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extinction.
G2 Imperiled globally because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences or few remaining individuals or acres) or because of some factor(s) making it very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
G3 Either very rare and local throughout its range or found locally (even abundantly at some of its locations) in a restricted range (e.g., a single western state, a physiographic region in the East) or because of other factors making it vulnerable to extinction throughout it’s range; with the number of occurrences in the range of 21 to 100.
G4 Apparently secure globally; although it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery.
G5 Demonstrably secure globally; although it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especia- lly at the periphery.
GH Of historical occurrence throughout its range i.e., formerly part of the established biota, with the expectation that it may be rediscovered.
GU Possibly in peril range-wide but status uncertain; more information needed.
GX Believed to be extinct throughout range (e.g., passenger pigeon) with virtually no likelihood that it will be rediscovered.
G? Species has not yet been ranked.
STATE ELEMENT RANKS
Sl Critically imperiled in New Jersey because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences or very few remaining individuals or acres). Elements so ranked are often restricted to very specialized conditions or habitats and/or restricted to an extremely small geographical Natural Heritage Report Codes P age 5
area of the state. Also included are elements which were formerly more abundant, but because of habitat destruction or some other critical factor of its biology, they have been demonstrably reduced in abundance. In essence, these are elements for which, even with intensive searching, sizable additional occurrences are unlikely to be discovered.
s2 Imperiled in New Jersey because of rarity (6 to 20 occurrences). Historically many of . these elements may have been more frequent but are now ,known from very few extant I occurrences, primarily because of habitat destruction. Diligent searching may yield additional occurrences.
s3 Rare in state with 21 to 100 occurrences (plant species in this category have only 21 to 50 occurrences). includes elements which are widely distributed in the state but with small populations/acreage or elements with restricted distribution, but locally abundant. Not yet imperiled in state but may soon be if current trends continue. Searching often I yields additional occurrences.
s4 Apparently secure in state, with many occurrences.
s5 Demonstrably secure in state and essentially ineradicable under present conditions.
SA Accidental in state, including species (usually birds or butterflies) recorded once or twice or only at very great intervals, hundreds or even thousands of miles outside their usual range; a few of these species may even have bred on the one or two occasions they were recorded; examples include european strays or western birds on the East Coast and visa-versa.
SE Elements that are clearly exotic in New Jersey including those taxa not native to North America (introduced taxa) or taxa deliberately or accidentally introduced into the State from other parts of North America (adventive taxa). Taxa ranked SE are not a conservation priority (viable introduced occurrences of Gl or G2 elements may be exceptions).
SH Elements of historical occurrence in New Jersey. Despite some searching of historical occurrences and/or potential habitat, no extant occurrences are known. Since not all of the historical occurrences have been field surveyed, and unsearched potential habitat remains, historically ranked taxa are considered possibly extant, and remain a conservation priority for continued field work. I Natural Heritage Report Codes Page 6 m SN Regularly occurring, usually migratory and typically nonbreeding species for which no significant or effective habitat conservation measures can be taken in the state; this category includes migratory birds, bats, sea turtles, and cetaceans which do not breed in the state but pass through twice a year or may remain in the winter (or, in a few cases, the summer); included also are certain lepidoptera which regularly migrate to a state where they reproduce, but then completely die out every year with no return migration. Species in this category are so widely and unreliably distributed during migration or in winter that no small set of sites could be set aside with the hope of significantly furthering their conservation. Other nonbreeding, high globally-ranked species (such as the bald eagle, whooping crane or some seal species) which regularly spend some portion of the year at definite localities (and therefore have a valid conservation need in the state) are not ranked SN but rather Sl, S2, etc.
SR Elements reported from New Jersey, but without persuasive documentation which would provide a basis for either accepting or rejecting the report. In some instances documentation may exist, but as of yet, its source or location has not been determined.
SRF Elements erroneously reported from New Jersey, but this error persists in the literature.
su Elements believed to be in peril but the degree of rarity uncertain. Also included are rare taxa of uncertain taxonomical standing. More information is needed to resolve rank.
sx Elements that have been determined or are presumed to be extirpated from New Jersey. All historical occurrences have been searched and a reasonable search of potential habitat has been completed. Extirpated taxa are not a current conservation priority.
I sxc Elements presumed extirpated from New Jersey, but native populations collected from the wild exist in cultivation.
I T Element ranks containing a “T” indicate that the infraspecific taxon is being ranked differently than the full species. For example Stachys palustris var. hornotricha is ranked “G5T? SH” meaning the full species is globally secure but the global rarity of the var. homotricha has not been determined: in New Jersey the variety is ranked historic.
L) Q Elements containing a “0” in the global portion of its rank indicates that the taxon is of questionable, or uncertain taxonomical standing, e.g., some authors regard it as a full species, while others treat it at the subspecific level. Natural Heritage Report Codes Page 7
.l Elements documented from a single location.
I Note: To express uncertainty, the most likely rank is assigned and a question mark added (e.g., G2?). A range is indicated by combining two ranks (e.g., GlG2, SlS3).
IDENTIFICATION CODES
These codes refer to whether the identification of the species or community has been checked by a reliable individual and is indicative of significant habitat. I
Y Identification has been verified and is indicative of significant habitat.
BLANK identification has not been verified but there is no reason to believe it is not indicative of significant habitat.
? Either it has not been determined if the record is indicative of significant habitat or the identification of the species or community may be confusing or disputed. I I

These Surface Water Quality Standards apply to all surface waters of the State. 2. Water is vital to life and comprises an invaluable natural resource which is not to be abused by any segment of the State's population or economy. It is - the policy of the State to restore, maintain and enhance the chemical, physical and biological integrity of its waters, to protect the public health, to safeguard the aquatic biota, protect scenic and ecological values, and to enhance the domestic, municipal, recreational, industrial, agricultural and other reasonable uses of the State's waters. 3. Toxic substances in waters of the State shall not be at levels that are toxic to humans or the aquatic biota, or that bioaccumulate in the aquatic biota so as to render them unfit for human consumption. 4. The introduction of substances into the waters of the State in concentrations that are known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, or teratogenic shall not be permitted. The Department shall direct its control efforts to require the removal of such substances from wastewater discharges which are shown to contain such substances in concentration that violate this policy. 5. Existing uses shall be maintained and protected. Designated uses shall, as soon as technically and economically feasible, be attained wherever these uses are not precluded by natural conditions. Where existing criteria are inadequate to support the existing or designated uses, the criteria shall be changed to support the existing uses.
6. The restoration of saline waters to levels which permit - unrestricted shellfish havesting is an objective of the Department.
8 (b) Interstate waters policies are as follows: 1. The designated uses and water quality criteria for the fresh and saline waters under the jurisdiction of the Delaware River Basin Commission shall be as established in this subchapter, or in accordance with the prevailing "Basin Regulations - Water Quality" adopted by the Delaware River Basin Commission as part of its Comprehensive Plan, which- ever are more stringent. 2. The designated uses and water quality criteria for waters under&he jurisdiction of the Interstate Sanitation L Commission in the New Jersey/New York metropolitan area 'shall,be as established in this subchapter, or in accordance with the prevailing Water Quality Regulations of the Interstate Sanitation Commission, whichever are more stringent.
(c) General technical policies are as follows: The natural water quality shall be used in place of the promulgated Water Quality Criteria of N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.14 for all water quality characteristics that do not meet the promulgated Water Quality Criteria as a result of natural causes. Water quality criteria are expected to be maintained during periods when stream flows are at or greater than the MA7CDlO flow. Water quality criteria are expected to be maintained in intermittent streams during all natural flow conditions. a When the intermittent stream does not contain natural flow of sufficient magnitude to determine water quality, the criteria to be maintained in the intermittent stream will be those pertaining to the measurable natural flow immediately c.‘. , downstream of the intermittent stream. 4. Mixing zones policies are as follows: i. Water quality within a mixing zone may be allowed to fall below applicable water quality criteria provided the existing and designated uses outside the mixing zone are not adversely impacted. ii. Mixing zone requirements will be determined by the Department on a case-by-case basis taking into special consideration the extent and nature of the receiving waters so as to meet the intent and purpose of the criteria and standards. iii. The total area aqd volume of a waterway or waterbody assigned to mixing zones shall be limited to that which
9 . will not interfere with biological communities or populations of important species to a degree which is damaging to the ecosystem or which diminishes other beneficial uses disproportionately. Furthermore, significant acute mortality of aquatic biota shall not occur within the mixing zone. iv. Zones of passage shall be provided for the passage of free-swimming and drifting organisms wherever mixing zones are allowed.
V. Temperature changes in designated heat dissipation arehs shall not cause mortality of the aquatic biota
l nor create conditions which allow the introduction or maintenanceaor populations of undesirable organisms at ” nuisance levels. vi. Adjacent heat dissipation areas: Where waste discharges would result in heat dksipation areas in such close p.roximity to each other as to impair protected uses, additional limitations shall be prescribed to avoid such impairment, vii. No heat dissipation areas shall be permitted in waters classified as PW2-TP or within 1500 feet of the shoreline in SC waters. 5. All analytical data to be incorporated by the Department in water quality monitoring or other activities shall be from laboratories approved or certified by the Department for the analys,is of those specific parameters. If certification is not offered for the specific parameter, the laboratory r’ performing the analysis shall, at a minimum, hold certification in the category of certification covering that type of parqmeter. (d) Antidegradation policies are as follows: 1. These antidegradation policies apply to all surface waters 4 of the State. 2. Existing uses shall be maintained and protected. Designated uses shall be maintained or, as soon as technically and economically feasible, be attained wherever these uses are not precluded by natural conditions.
3. No irreversible changes may be made to existing water quality that would impair or preclude attainment of the des'ignated uses of a waterway. 4. No changes shall be allowed in waters which constitute an outstanding National or State resource or in waters that may affect these outstandingfresource waters.
10 J 5. Where water quality exceeds levels necessary to support the designated uses, including but not limited to, propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on a the water, that quality shall be maintained and protected -unless the Department finds, after full satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation I provisions of the Department's continuing planning process as set forth in this subchapter, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are Pp located. 6. Theseoantidegradation policies shall be applied as follows: * ' i. The quality of Nondegradation waters shall be maintained in their natural state (set aside for a ..’ posterity) and shall not be subject to any man-made wastewater discharges. The Department shall not approve any activity which, alone or in combination with any other activities, might cause changes, other Y than toward natural water quality, in the existing surface water quality characteristics.
-: ii. For Pinelands waters, the Department shall not approve . . _’ ; any activity which, alone or in combination with any other activities, might cause changes, other than in the existing surface 4s toward natural water quality, water quality characteristics. This policy shall apply as follows: c (1) This policy is not intended to interfere with water control in the operation of cranberry bogs or blueberry production. G (2) Dischargers holding valid NJPDES permits as of the date of promulgation of these regulations shall be allowed to continue discharging under the terms of 4.:. . their existing NJPDES permits provided that the discharge is not creating any water quality problems and that the designated uses are being 4 attained. If a water quality problem has been
t. created or the designated uses are not being attained, the NJPDES permit shall be modified to
Y eliminate the water quality problem or attain the designated uses. (3) Existing dischargers shall be subject to all the I* provisions of this subchapter when they apply for modification or expansion of their existing discharge. L iii. Category One waters shall be protection from any measurable changes (including calculable or predicted - changes) to the existing water quality. Water quality e 11 characteristics that are generally wors,e than the water quality criteria, except as due to natural conditions, shall be improved to maintain or provide for the -designated uses where this can be accomplished without adverse impacts on organisms, communities or ecosystems of concern. iv. For Category Two waters, water quality characteristics that are generally better than, or equal to, the water quality standards shall be maintained within a range of quality that shall protect the existing//designated . uses, as determined by studies acceptable to the - Departient, relating existing/designated uses to water quality. Where such studies are not available or are 'inconclusive, water quality shall be protected from changes that might be detrimental to the attainment of the designated uses or maintenance of the existing uses. Water quality characteristics that are generally worse than the water quality criteria shall be improved to meet the water quality criteria,
7. Where a lower classification of water (including the different antidegradation waters) may impinge upon a higher classification of water the Department shall ensure that the quality and uses of the higher classification water are protected.
8. A waterway or waterbody from which raw water is transferred to another waterway or waterbody shall be treated as a tributary to the waterway or waterbody receiving the transferred water.
9. Modifications of water quality based effluent limitations established to implement this antidegradation policy may be granted pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.8 and 4.9. (e). Water quality based effluent limitation policies are as follows: 1. Water quality based effluent limitations may be established so as to minimize total expenditures, subject to social and environmental constraints, so that the provisions of the water quality standards (which includes the antidegradation policies) are met. This policy may result in the assignment of different levels of treatment to different dischargers where this proves more beneficial on a study area basis.
2. Levels of treatment established as a result of water quality studies shall take precedence over the Minimum Treatment Requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:9-5.8.
3. The Department may establish seasonal effluent limitations when it determines that such seasonal limitations are necessary due to seasonal variations in treatment
12 performance caused by ambient conditions and, that the seasonal limitations will not cause or contribute to violation of the Water Quality Standards.
4. -- Whenever dischargers of pollutants from a point source or group of point sources, after the application of effluent I limitations at least as stringent as those required pursuant to sections 301, 306, and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act or effluent limitations based upon the provisions of N.J.A.C. 7:9-5-l et sea.

Y limitations shall be as follows:
1. For Category One Waters, as defined in N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.4, draft water quality based effluent limitations shall be assigned to a point source discharger so as to protect the existing water quality from any measurable or calculable changes. The Department shall establish draft water quality based effluent limitations, as appropriate, for those parameters contained in N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.14, as well as any other parameters the Department believes may have a detrimental effect on the designated or existing uses. 2, For Category Two Waters, as defined,in N..J.A.C. I 7:9-4.4, draft water quality based effluent limitations shall- be assigned to a point source discharge so as to: i. Maintain water quality characteristics that are generally better than or equal to the water quality standards at a level that will protect the existing and designated uses, and; ii. Bring water quality characteristics that are generally worse than the water quality criteria, except as due to natural conditions, up to the wat?er quality criteria. , Tke following information shall be submitted by the applicant for a water quality based effluent limitation, in addition to any information required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A: i. Type of waste (domestic or industrial) to be discharged, accompanied by an analysis of the treated and untreated wastewater characteristics. ii. Type of treatment process and level of treatment being considered.

4. The Department will utilize the following methodologies in the development of chemical specific water quality based effluent limitations for point source discharges: i. The Department shall take into consideration the contribution of nonpoint source loading(s) and the need
16 for some reserve capacity in the stream segment. The parameters to be considered will vary with the type of discharge, the existing and designated uses of the waters, and the ambient water quality. ii. Scientifically defensible technical approaches such as calibrated and verified mathematical water quality models developed or adapted for a particular stream, simplified modelling approaches, as outlined in "Water Quality Assessment" (EPA-600/6-82-004), a.simpfe mass balance, or bioassay procedures, as contained ln N.J.A.C. 7:9-18, shall be utilized by the Department in *developing water quality based effluent limitations. I l iii. 'The .Department shall utilize the parameter specific criteria contained in N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.14 in the development of chemical specific water quality based effluent limitations for point source discharges. Whenever parameter specific criteria have not been
4 adopted, the Department will utilize the best available scientific information in the development of chemical specific water quality based effluent limitations for point source discharges. Ambient criteria published by - the United States Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to section 304(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act represent the minimum acceptable best scientific c information to be used in the development of water quality based effluent limitations for point source discharges.
L 5. The following methodologies may be utilized by the Department in developing water quality based whole effluent toxicity limitations for point source discharges. i. When using acute definitive bioassays as the measure of whoie effluent toxicity, the following effluent c * toxicity limitation formula may be utilized: i LA = $ (100) P a.h
f. Where: LA = Toxicity limitation expressed as an acute definitive LC50 or EC50, in percent effluent. F = Application factor, 0.05 where toxicity -- is due to non-persistent substances or 0.01 where toxicity is known or suspected to be due to persistent
Y substances, or an alternative application factor developed in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.5(f)4. I I
*
+, 17 I = Critical instream waste concentration, determined in accordance with the methods in ii below.
A draft limitation must meet the requirements of the effluent standard for toxic discharges found in N.J.A.C. 7:9-5.7. If the calculated limit, LA, is greater than 100 percent effluent, the draft limit shall require that no measurable acute toxicity occur in any bioassay test concentration, including 100 percent effluent, above normal background mortality levels for the test organism population. l ii. The critical instream waste concentration, I, is iL determined as follows:
(1) For non-tidal streams, or small. tidal streams with -_ a cross-sectional area not greater than 1,000 square feet at mean sea level and a freshwater inflow MA7CDlO not greater than 10 cfs:
QE I = QE + Qs Where: QE = Effluent Flow Qs = Upstream freshwater - MA7CDlO flow
(2)' For all other waterbodies the instream waste -r concentration, I , will be determined on a case- by-case basis utilizing applicable scientific methods, including but not limited to, plume models and the mixing zone concept. iii. When utilizing chronic bioassays as the measure of whole effluent toxicity, the following effluent toxicity limitation formula may be utilized: L C = I (100) L Where: C = Toxicity limitation expressed as a chronic NOEC in percent effluent. I = Critical instream waste concentration, determined in accordance with the method of (c)5ii above.
iv. If the calculated limit, LC, is greater than 100 percent effluent, the draft limit sha1.l be 1.00.

Surface water classifications are presented in tabular form. Subsections (c) through (g) contain surface water classifications by major I drainage basin. Subsection (h) lists FWl waters by tract Within basins and subsection (i) identifies the outstanding national resource watqrs of the State. (b) The following are instructions for the Use of Tables I through 5 found in N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.15(c) through (g) respectively: 1. The surface water classification tables give the surface water classifications for waters of the State. Surface waters of 1. the State and their classification are listed in the Table covering the major drainage basin in which. they are located. The major drainage basins are: i. The Atlantic Coastal drainage basin which contains the surface waters listed in Table 1 in (c) below: ii. The Delaware River .drainage basin which contains the surface waters listed in Table 2 in (d) below: iii. The Passaic River, Hudson River and New York Harbor Complex drainage basin which contains the surface waters listed in Table 3 in (e) below: - iv. The Raritan River and Raritan Bay drainage basin which contains the surface waters listed in Table 4 in (f) below; and v. The Wallkill River drainage basin which contains the surface waters listed in Table 5 in (g) below. 2. Within each basin the waters are listed alphabetically and segment descriptions begin at the headwaters and proceed
I downstream. 3. To find a stream: i. Determine which major drainage basin the stream is in; ii. Look for the name of the stream in the appropriate Table -’ * and find the classification; iii. For unnamed or unlisted streams, find the stream or other waterbody that the stream of interest flows into and look for the classification of that stream or waterbody. The classification of the stream of interest may then be determined by referring to (b)5 below. If the second stream or waterbody is also unlisted, repeat the process until a listed stream or waterbody is found. Use (b)5iv below to classify streams entering unlisted lakes. 4. TO find a lake or other non-stream waterbody: i. Determine which major drainage basin the waterbody is in; ii. Look for the waterbody name in the appropriate Table; iii. If the waterbody is not listed, use (b)5ii, 5iii, 5vi, and 5vii below to determine the appropriate classification. 5. To find unnamed waterways or waterbodies or named water- WaYS or waterbodies which dp not appear in the listing, use the following instructions:
52 i. Unnamed or unlisted freshwater streams that flow into streams classified as FW2 -TP, FW2-TM, or EW2-NT take the classification of the classified stream they enter, unless the unlisted stream is a PL water which is covered in (b)5vii below. If the stream could be a Cl water, see (b)5vi below. ii. All freshwater lakes, ponds and reservoirs that are five or more acres in surface area, that are not located entirely within the Pinelands Area boundaries (see (b)fivii below) and that are not specifically listed as FW2-TM are classified as FW2-NT. This includes lakes, ponds and reservoirs on segments of streams which are classified as FW2-TM or FW2-TP such as Saxton Lake on the Musconetcong River. If the waterbody could be a Cl water, also check (b)5vi below. iii. All freshwater lakes, ponds and reservoirsi that are less than'five acres in surface area, upstream of and contiguous with FW2-TP or FW2-TM streams, and which are not located entirely within the Pinelands Area boundaries (see(b)5vii below) are classified as FW2-TM. All other freshwater lakes, ponds and reservoirs that are not otherwise classified in this subsection or the following Tables are classified as FW2-NT. If the waterbody could be a Cl water, also check (b)5vi below. iv. Unnamed or unlisted streams that enter lFW2 lakes, ponds and reservoirs take the classification of either the listed tributary stream flowing into the lake with the highest classification or the listed tributary stream leaving the lake with the highest classification, whichever has the highest classification, if there are no listed tributary or outlet streams to the ITie the first listed stream downstream of the lake. If the streim is located within the boundaries of the Pinelands Area, see (b)5vii below; if it could be a Cl water, also see (b)5vi below. v. Unnamed or unlisted saline waterways and waterbodies are - classified as SE1 in the Atlantic Coastal Basin. Unnamed or unlisted saline waterways which enter SE2 or SE3 waters in the Passaic, Hackensack and New York Harbor Complex basin are classified as SE2 unless otherwise classified within Table 3 in (e) below. Freshwater portions of unnamed or unlisted streams * entering SEl, SE2, or SE3 waters are classified as FW2-NT. This only applies to waters that are not PL waters (see (b)5vii below). If the waterbody or waterway could be a Cl water, also see (b)5vi below. vi. If the waterway or waterbody of interest flows through - or is entirely located within State parks, forests or fish and game lands, Federal wildlife refuges, other special holdings, or is a State shellfish water as defined in N.J..A.C. 7:9-4, the Department's maps should be checked to determine if the waterbody of interest is mapped as a Cl water. If the waterway or waterbody does not appear on the United States Gleological Survey quadrangle #that the Department used as a base map in its designation of the Cl waters, the Department will determine on a case-by-case basis whether the waterway or waterbody should be designated as Cl. - vii. All waterways or waterhodies, or portions of waterways or waterbodies, that are located within the boundaries of the -
53 Pinelands Area established at N.J.S.A. 13:18A-lla are classified as PI, unless they are listed as FWl waters in Table 6 in (h) below. A tributary entering a PL stream is classified aS.PL Only I for these portions of the tributary that are within the Plnelands Area. - Lakes are classified as PL only if they are located entirely within the Pinelands Area.
I 6. The following 10 classifications are used for the sole purpose of identifying the water quality classiflcatlon of the waters listed in the Tables in (c) through (h) below: i. IIFWl" means freshwaters wholly within Federal or State - lands or special holdings that are preserved for posterity and are not subject to manmade wastewater discharges. ii. aFW&-TP1t means FW2 Trout Production. iii. VUFW2-TM" means FW2 Trout Maintenance. I i0. "FW2+T",means FW2 Non Trout. V.. #IPL" means Pinelands Waters. -‘ V1SE111 means saline estuarine waters whose designated uses $k listed in N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.12(d). vii. "SE2" means saline estuarine waters whose designated uses are listed in N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.12(e). L viii. 11SE3" means saline estuarine waters whose designated uses are listed in N.J.A.C. 7:9-4.12(f). ix, IISCII means the general surface water classification - applied to saline coastal waters. x. FW2-NT/SE1 (or a similar designation that combines two classifications) means a waterway in which there may be a‘salt water/fresh water interface. The exact point of demarcation L between the fresh and saline waters must be determined by salinity measurements and is that point where the salinity reaches 3.5 parts per thousand at mean high tide. The stream is classified as FW2-NT in the fresh portions (salinity less than or equal to 3:5 parts per thousand at mean high tide) and SE1 in the saline portions.
L The following water quality designations are used in Tablek through 5 in (c) through (g) respectively, below: i. " (Cl) " means Category 1 water;; ii. "(tp)" indicates trout production in waters which are classified as FWl. This is for information only and does not affect the water quality criteria for those waters; iii. "(tm)" indicates trout maintenance in waters which are I classified as PI, or Fw~. For FWl waters this is for information only and does not affect the water guality criteria for those waters.
