  • The Nature of Boulder-Rich Deposits in the Upper Big Flat Brook Drainage, Sussex County, New Jersey

    The Nature of Boulder-Rich Deposits in the Upper Big Flat Brook Drainage, Sussex County, New Jersey

    Middle States Geographer, 2009, 42: 33-43 THE NATURE OF BOULDER-RICH DEPOSITS IN THE UPPER BIG FLAT BROOK DRAINAGE, SUSSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Gregory A. Pope, Andrew J. Temples, Sean I. McLearie, Joanne C. Kornoelje, and Thomas J. Glynn Department of Earth & Environmental Studies Montclair State University 1 Normal Avenue Montclair, New Jersey, 07043 ABSTRACT: The upper reaches of the Big Flat Brook drainage, northwest of Kittatinny Mountain, contain a variety of glacial, pro-glacial, and periglacial deposits from the Late Quaternary. The area is dominated by recessional moraines and ubiquitous ground moraine, along with meltwater deposits, drumlins, and possible post- glacial periglacial features. We have identified a curious boulder-rich deposit in the vicinity of Lake Ocquittunk and Lake Wapalanne on upper Big Flat Brook. The area where these boulder deposits occur is mapped (1:24,000 surficial geology) as till. As mapped and observed, larger cobbles and boulders within the till are quartz-pebble conglomerate, quartzite, sandstone, and shale. The boulder-rich deposits differ from the typical till, however. Unlike the local till, which is more mixed in lithology, the boulder deposits are nearly exclusively Shawangunk conglomerate. The deposits are discontinuous, but appear to occur at a topographic level above the meltwater stream terraces. The boulders in the deposits lie partially embedded in soil, but are very closely spaced. The boulders range in size from ~20cm to over 100cm, and present a subrounded to subangular shape. There appears to be a fabric orientation of the boulders, NE-SW, with subsidiary orientations. As the boulder deposits differ from other mapped features in the area, we attempt to ascertain the origin for the deposits.

    II. NATURAL RESOURCES II. NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE GREENWOOD LAKE WATERSHED A. LAND RESOURCES Geologic History The Greenwood Lake Watershed is located in the Highlands Physiographic Province, as shown in Figure II.A-1. The Highlands are underlain by the oldest rocks in New Jersey. These Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks were formed between 1.3 billion and 750 million years ago by the melting and recrystallization of sedimentary rocks that were deeply buried, subjected to high pressure and temperature, and intensely deformed.1 The Precambrian rocks are interrupted by several elongate northeast-southwest trending belts of folded Paleozoic sedimentary rocks equivalent to the rocks of the Valley and Ridge Province. Figure II.A-1 - Physiographic Provinces of New Jersey 1 New Jersey Geological Survey, NJ Department of Environmental Protection. 1999. The Geology of New Jersey. II-1 II. NATURAL RESOURCES The Highlands ridges in New Jersey are a southward continuation of the Green or Taconic Mountains of Vermont and Massachusetts, the New England Upland of Connecticut, and the Hudson Highlands of New York.2 The ridges continue through Pennsylvania to the vicinity of Reading. This Reading Prong of the New England Physiographic Province plunges beneath the surface of younger rocks for a distance of about fifty miles southwest of Reading and reappears where the northern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains begins to rise above the surrounding country. The Blue Ridge Mountains of the Virginia Appalachians, the mountains of New England, and the Highlands of New Jersey and New York all have a similar geologic history and character. Topography The granites and gneisses of the Highlands are resistant to erosion and create a hilly upland dissected by the deep, steep-sided valleys of major streams.3 The Highlands can be characterized as broad high ridges composed of complex folded and faulted crystalline rocks and separated by deep narrow valleys.4 The topography follows the northeast-southwest trend of the geologic structure and rock formations.

    2015 Surface Water Classification Assessments-Rivers and Streams

    NJ DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries SURFACE WATER CLASSIFICATION - STREAMS 2015 Surface Water Classification Assessments Trout are useful bioindicators of stream health as excellent water quality and habitat are necessary for their survival and successful reproduction. In 1968, the Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries initiated the process of identifying and classifying New Jersey waters according to their suitability to support trout. Five years later, a classification system for New Jersey waters was developed. The Bureau’s classification system, although already in use by various programs within the Department, was formally recognized in 1981 under the state’s newly adopted Surface Water Quality Standards (SWQS). Today, waters of the state are classified according to their suitability to support trout. Lakes are classified on their ability to support trout year round, whereas streams are classified on the occurrence of natural reproduction and the presence or absence of trout and/or trout associated species (Hamilton and Barno 2006). Ultimately, the more suitable a waterway is to supporting trout the higher the classification and the more protection it will receive. The Department’s Land Use Regulation Program, through Stream Encroachment, Freshwater Wetlands, and the more recently developed storm water rules acknowledge the fragile nature of these ecosystems and provide additional protective measures. Although a vast amount of work has been accomplished in classifying New Jersey waters, waters continue to be classified and reclassified according to their trout supporting capabilities, when justified by additional field investigation data collected by NJDFW. These data are interpreted and recommendations for surface water classification changes are provided to DEP’s Bureau of Water Monitoring and Standards, Environmental Analysis Restoration and Standards, who ultimately integrate changes to the SWQS through an established rule making process.
