  • APPENDIX A. Supplementary Tables
    APPENDIX A. Supplementary Tables Jersey City - Environmental Resource Inventory A-1 Soil Types Table A.1. Soil Types Legend Soil classification reflects the parent material that forms the soil, the soil family, and the slope of the landform. The following information will assist in the interpretation of the Soil Classification table. Capability Class Definition 1 Slight limitations that restrict their use. 2 Moderate limitations that restrict the choice of plants or that require moderate conservation practices 3 Very severe limitations that restrict the choice of plants or that require very careful management, or both. 8 Limitations that preclude commercial plant production and that restrict their use to recreational purposes, wildlife habitat, watershed, or esthetic purposes. In this Table, there are three types of Green Belt soil, each with a different slope range. Slopes are measured in degrees or as a percent; a 450 slope = 100% slope. Each Soil Name is associated with a unique Code. Land Capability Classes reflect the potential for agricultural uses; the higher the class number, the more restricted the potential uses are. The letter that follows the numeric code indicates the reason for restricted uses. For example, Green Belt Loam, 8 to 15 percent slope, is restricted because of the likelihood of erosion. Capability Subclass Definition e The main hazard is the risk of erosion unless close growing plant cover is maintained w Water in or on the soil interferes with plant growth or cultivation (in some soils the wetness can be partly corrected by artificial drainage) s Soil is limited mainly because it is shallow, droughty, or stony Available Water Capacity (AWC) indicates the amount of water available to plants.

  • Making Jersey City's Park System World Class
    MAKING JERSEY CITY’S PARK SYSTEM WORLD CLASS Jersey City has a very good park system, but it could be elite and truly world class. To take the next step up to that elite class will require boldness, creativity, and investment. By renovating existing parks, following through with the new parks that are in various stages of planning or development, completing the Hackensack and Hudson River walkways, and taking the audacious initiative to connect our waterfronts by a series of greenways will enrich the lives of our citizens and make Jersey City’s park system worthy of global attention. A Public Private Partnership for Nonstop Renovation Jersey City began the process of creating a parks master plan to rate the condition and then to renovate Jersey City’s 67 municipal parks a little over a decade ago. In 2008, after numerous public meetings and robust public input, a 10 year detailed plan to improve Jersey City’s park system was put in place that detailed every upgrade that every park needed and estimated the costs of these upgrades. Over the next several years, serious progress was seen. Ercel Webb Park in Ward F, Muhammad Ali and Bayview parks in Ward A, Hamilton Park in Ward E and Ward B’s Boyd McGuiness Park were all substantially improved under the plan. However, the City simply abandoned the plan shortly after Mayor Fulop took office, as he focused his attention, the City’s resources and public relations on just a couple of park improvements. Consequently, parks such as Pershing Field in the Heights have been left to deteriorate and plans to improve it have been shelved.
