Executive Summary In accordance with Sections 305(b) and 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA), the State of New Jersey, Department of Environmental Protection (Department) developed the 2008 New Jersey Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report assessing the overall water quality of the State’s waters and, in Sublist 5 of the Integrated List of Waters, identifying the list of impaired waters by pollutant in each Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 14 assessment unit. Sublist 5 constitutes the list of Water Quality Limited Waters required under Section 303(d) of the CWA. A Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) is required to be prepared for those waters on the 303(d) list. A TMDL is developed to identify all the contributors of a pollutant of concern and the load reductions necessary to meet the Surface Water Quality Standards (SWQS) relative to that pollutant. The Department adopted and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the 2008 Integrated List of Waters, which formed the basis for the initial analysis of phosphorus impairment in the Pequest River watershed. Table 1 shows the phosphorus impairments, as indicated by the presence of total phosphorus (TP) concentrations in excess of the numeric criterion, as they appear on the 2008 Integrated List of Waters for the Pequest River watershed. This report addresses these impairments. Specifically, this report adopts TMDLs to address the phosphorus impairments upstream of and including HUC 14 No. 02040105090030-01 (i.e., Pequest River, Furnace Brook to Cemetary Road). The Pequest River below Furnace Brook (02040105090060-01), the only remaining HUC 14 listed for TP impairment within the Pequest Watershed, will be addressed in a subsequent TMDL study because additional evaluation of sources is needed. Other listed impairments within the Pequest River watershed will be addressed in subsequent TMDL evaluations. The target for the TMDL calculations is

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. Lendo, hydraulic engineers, Trenton, N.J. Similar flood inundation studies and reports in the Delaware River basin are in progress or have been completed. Specific information as to location and status of these studies can be obtained from the Delaware River Basin Commission, Trenton, N.J.

The “Highlands Environmental Resource Inventory” is intended to supplement the information in the aforementioned Township documents and should be read and utilized solely relative to the requirements of the “Highlands Regional Master Plan”, the “Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act” and, more specifically, relative to the “Highlands Preservation Area” as discussed in the “Highlands Element” of the Township Master Plan. Although the “Highlands Environmental Resource Inventory” provides information on all land areas within the Township of Allamuchy, it should be noted that the Township is seeking Plan Conformance from the Highlands Council only for the land areas designated within the Highlands Preservation Area.

  • Musconetcong River Management Plan and Through Incorporation of the Goals and Key Actions Into Municipal Master Plans, Zoning and Land Development Regulations
    MUSCONETCONG RIVER NATIONAL WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS STUDY RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN Prepared by: Musconetcong Advisory Committee Musconetcong Watershed Association Heritage Conservancy National Park Service April 2003 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 This management plan proposes a strategy for managing the Musconetcong River and its many outstanding resource values. It was prepared as part of a study to evaluate the Musconetcong River for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. 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. 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 26 municipalities lie within the natural boundaries of the Musconetcong watershed. Fourteen municipalities fall within the river segments eligible for National Wild and Scenic Rivers designation. The impetus for the Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic Rivers study can be traced back to 1991 when petitions were circulated calling for the protection of the Musconetcong River under both the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System and New Jersey Wild and Scenic Rivers program.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY e lower Delaware River flows through the very heart of the birthplace of our great nation. Every bend in the river speaks to us of history, of beauty, of oppor­ T:tunity. Our nation's history is revealed in the agricultural fields, forests, canals, villages, mills and inns along its path. Diverse flora and fauna thrive on its banks and islands. Yet today the Delaware River supports one of the country's largest concentra­ tions of population and industry. Our challenge is to manage the growth and use of the corridor and its resources to protect its outstanding character Concerned about the future of the lower Delaware River, interested citizens and organizations encouraged their representatives in the United States Congress to autho­ rize a study of the river. This document presents the results of the Lower Delaware National Wild and Scenic River Study, authorized by Public Law 102-460. It summarizes the extensive resources associated with the lower Delaware River, the River Management Plan, and the eligibility and suitability of the study segments for National Wild and Scenic River designation. The National Wild and Scenic Rivers Program is designed to provide river protection through the combined efforts of private landowners and other citizens, river related organizations, and all levels of government. Emphasis is given to protection oflandown­ ers' rights. Designation does not open private lands to public access, nor does it affect existing uses of private property. Each designated river receives permanent protection from federally licensed or assisted dams, diversions, channelizations, and other water resource projects that would have direct and adverse effects on the river's free-flowing condition or outstanding resources.

Written history is a narrative of the deeds of men and of the motives that actuate them. The reader will pardon, therefore, if much of this History of Warren County is narrated as a part of the lives of men whose deeds are the history proper. It is purposed to give only as much of the State and National his- tories as will render clear the part that Warren County and her sons have played in them.
