  • Appendix 8: City of Linden September 2015
    Appendix 8: City of Linden September 2015 Appendix 8: City of Linden This appendix is part of the 2015 Union County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) update, and includes only jurisdiction-specific information about the City of Linden, which is one of the twenty (20) municipalities within Union County that is participating in the plan update. Union County led the planning process and outreach for this update. For a detailed description of the planning process and the public outreach efforts for this update, see Section 3 of the 2015 HMP. 1. Planning Process and Participation The County formed a Steering Committee, which was responsible for key decisions during the plan update. This committee sent a letter to the Mayor of each municipality within the County. The Mayors and local officials selected a single individual to represent the town in the broader process. This person was the point of contact for the plan update, but worked with other municipal employees, consultants, volunteers, and other stakeholders throughout the planning process. This collection of participants, considered the local planning committee, is listed below. The committee was responsible for various decisions that informed the development of this appendix, including: prioritizing the natural hazards that can affect the community, reviewing and prioritizing the mitigation actions that are included in Table 8-1, and informing community leaders about the status of the County mitigation plan update, including this appendix The City of Linden Planning Committee (LPC) evaluated and identified the hazards of concern, completed the request for information (RFI), reviewed the plan documents and vulnerability assessment, identified local stakeholders for outreach, and worked collectively to update the mitigation strategy.

    ExxonMobil Bayway Refinery CA750 Page 1 of 40 DOCUMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATOR DETERMINATION RCRA Corrective Action Environmental Indicator (EI) RCRIS code (CA750) Migration of Contaminated Groundwater Under Control Facility Name: ExxonMobil Bayway Refinery Facility Address: 1400 Park Avenue, Linden, New Jersey Facility EPA ID #: NJD062037031 BACKGROUND Definition of Environmental Indicators (for the RCRA Corrective Action) Environmental Indicators (EI) are measures being used by the RCRA Corrective Action program to go beyond programmatic activity measures (e.g., reports received and approved, etc.) to track changes in the quality of the environment. The two EI developed to-date indicate the quality of the environment in relation to current human exposures to contamination and the migration of contaminated groundwater. An EI for non-human (ecological) receptors is intended to be developed in the future. Definition of “Migration of Contaminated Groundwater Under Control” EI A positive “Migration of Contaminated Groundwater Under Control” EI determination (“YE” status code) indicates that the migration of “contaminated” groundwater has stabilized, and that monitoring will be conducted to confirm that contaminated groundwater remains within the original “area of contaminated groundwater” (for all groundwater “contamination” subject to RCRA corrective action at or from the identified facility (i.e., site-wide)). Relationship of EI to Final Remedies While Final remedies remain the long-term objective of the RCRA Corrective Action program the EI are near-term objectives which are currently being used as Program measures for the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993, GPRA). The “Migration of Contaminated Groundwater Under Control” EI pertains ONLY to the physical migration (i.e., further spread) of contaminated ground water and contaminants within groundwater (e.g., non-aqueous phase liquids or NAPLs).

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. 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. Initial Countywide FIS Effective Date: September 20, 2006 Revised Countywide FIS Date: [TBD] – to change Base Flood Elevations, Special Flood Hazard Areas and zone designations; to update the effects of wave actions, roads and road names; and to reflect revised shoreline and updated topographic information.

    Kiviat & MacDonald, Hackensack Meadowlands Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey, Biodiversity: A Review and Synthesis Erik Kiviat and Kristi MacDonald Hudsonia Ltd. P.O. Box 5000, Annandale, New York 12504-5000 USA Prepared for the Hackensack Meadowlands Partnership 8 August 2002 © Hudsonia Ltd., Annandale, New York, 2002 Corrections and Updates to: Hackensack Meadowlands, New Jersey, Biodiversity: A Review and Synthesis By Erik Kiviat and Kristi MacDonald, Hudsonia Ltd. We will occasionally add information to this section of the report instead of frequently changing the report itself. This section last changed 23 June 2003 by EK. Corrections : P. 40: The laboratory work of J. Weis comparing reed and cordgrass detritus did not use mummichogs, only fiddler crabs and grass shrimp. P. 93: The correct year of publication for Labriola is 2000. Labriola should precede Langan. P. 97: The Yuhas 2001 thesis was prepared at New Jersey Institute of Technology, not Rutgers University. Table 4: American coot should be indicated (*) as water or wetland-associated; barn-owl should not be. Updates : P. 32: In July 2002, an apparent family group of northern harrier (Endangered) was observed on multiple days at the Carlstadt-Moonachie marshes (Empire tract), indicating breeding at that location. Thus the Empire tract and the Berry’s Creek marshes are the two known breeding localities for this species in the Meadowlands. P. 65: To the best of our knowledge, this clam-shrimp species is known from only about 10 localities in its global range. If this species were reviewed by the State Natural Heritage Program it would be ranked G1 S1. The Meadowlands population therefore may have considerable significance for conservation.

Cooper, Ph.D. Rutgers University Cook College 88 Lipman Drive New Brunswick, New Jersey 08824 Project Manager: Gary A. Buchanan, Ph.D. The Department of Environmental Protection PO Box 409 Trenton, New Jersey 08625 February 2007 1 You are viewing an archived copy from the New Jersey State Library Acknowledgements: This research was carried out at New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES) with funding from both NJAES funds through CSREES and a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Agency, Division of Science, Research and Technology. 2 You are viewing an archived copy from the New Jersey State Library Executive Summary: The New York-New Jersey Harbor Estuary is heavily impacted by anthropogenic sources of contamination and it also has a large biotic community that is living within these waters. Within the scientific literature there are numerous reports of using single biological endpoints to determine the extent of pollution within a body of water. The work carried out in the second year of funding included sampling the original (year one) sites consisting of Tuckerton, NJ; Sandy Hook, NJ; Union Beach, NJ; and Newark Bay, and one additional site (Piles Creek) for Mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus. These sites were selected to represent a contaminant gradient with elevated concentrations in Newark Bay to the reference location at Tuckerton. In addition, preliminary sampling was carried out examining White Perch (Morone americana) from the Delaware River, Hackensack River, Passaic River and near Tuckerton, NJ.
