  • Environmentally Sensitive Areas Guidance Document
    New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Release Prevention ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS GUIDANCE DOCUMENT Revised October 2017 Introduction This guidance on environmentally sensitive areas is intended for use as a reference and a guide when gathering information to be used in preparing the topographical maps for Discharge Prevention, Containment and Countermeasure (DPCC), and Discharge Cleanup and Removal (DCR) Plans. It gathers in one place all the citations listed in N.J.A.C. 7:1E-1.8, which establishes the definition of environmentally sensitive areas (ESA) for the purpose of developing the DPCC/DCR plan. The areas described in this document are by no means the only ESA in New Jersey, but represent those most likely to be adversely affected by a discharge of a hazardous substance. When used in conjunction with the requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:1E-4.10, Mapping criteria, it will prove useful in preparing the topographical maps and the offsite response measures that are required as part of the DCR plan. Additional information concerning the certification of ESA information is available in A Guide to the Preparation of Discharge Prevention, Containment and Countermeasure (DPCC) and Discharge Cleanup and Removal (DCR) Plans and Plan Renewals, available on the Bureau of Release Prevention website at http://www.nj.gov/dep/enforcement/dp/dpdown.htm. N.J.A.C. 7:1E-4.2(b)9 requires that topographical maps be included in the DPCC plan, while N.J.A.C. 7:1E-4.10(d) requires that these maps cover all surrounding areas which could be affected by a discharge from the facility, including ESA.

Thank you to the 112 nonprofit conservation organi- zations working to preserve New Jersey’s natural, cultur- al, recreational and agricultural lands. Together, with state agencies and local governments, a total of 1.4 mil- lion acres (29%) of New Jersey’s lands are preserved. These lands protect drinking water supplies, provide local healthy foods, encourage a healthy citizenry, and ensure a diversity of habitats for current and future generations. We are awed by the work of our state’s nonprofit conservation partners, and are happy to say that New Jer- sey Conservation Foundation has partnered with over three-fourths of the organizations featured in the “Saving Land” directory. We will continue to embrace our conser- vation assistance role—Land Trust Network, annual land conservation conference, and Franklin Parker Conserva- tion Excellence grants—to maintain the strength of our conservation community.

  • New Jersey's Landscape Project for the Protection of Rare Species
    New Jersey’s Landscape Project For the Protection of Rare Species NOTE: This brochure is out of date (3/01); see www.njfishandwildlife.com/ensp/landscape/index.htm. New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the nation. One of the consequences of this distinction is the extreme pressure that is placed on our natural resources. As the population grows, we continue to lose or impact the remaining natural areas of the state. As more and more habitat is lost, people are beginning to appreciate the benefits — and necessity — of maintaining land in its natural state. For example, we now know that wetlands are critical for recharging aquifers, lessening the damage from flooding and naturally breaking down contaminants in the environment. Forests and grasslands protect the quality of our drinking water, help purify the air we breathe and provide important areas for outdoor recreation. Collectively, these habitats are of critical importance to the diverse assemblage of wildlife found in New Jersey, including more than 60 species classified as threatened or endangered. In 1994 the N.J. Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) adopted a landscape level approach to rare species protection.The goal is to protect New Jersey’s bio- logical diversity by maintaining and enhancing rare wildlife populations within healthy, functioning ecosystems. A landscape level perspective Since animals require large expanses of natural habitat for their long-term survival, the Land- scape Project focuses on large areas called land- scape regions that are ecologically similar with regard to their plant and animal communities (Illus- tration 1).
