  • Army Corps of Engineers Response Document Draft
    3.0 ORANGE COUNTY Orange County has experienced numerous water resource problems along the main stem and the associated tributaries of the Moodna Creek and the Ramapo River that are typically affected by flooding during heavy rain events over the past several years including streambank erosion, agradation, sedimentation, deposition, blockages, environmental degradation, water quality and especially flooding. However, since October 2005, the flooding issues have severely increased and flooding continues during storm events that may or may not be considered significant. Areas affected as a result of creek flows are documented in the attached trip reports (Appendix D). Throughout the Orange County watershed, site visits confirmed opportunities to stabilize the eroding or threatened banks restore the riparian habitat while controlling sediment transport and improving water quality, and balance the flow regime. If the local municipalities choose to request Federal involvement, there are several options, depending on their budget, desired timeframe and intended results. The most viable options include a specifically authorized watershed study or program, or an emergency streambank protection project (Section 14 of the Continuing Authorities Program), or pursing a Continuing Authorities Program study for Flood Risk Management or Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration (Section 205 and Section 206 of the Continuing Authorities Program, respectively). Limited Federal involvement could also be provided in the form of the Planning Assistance to States or Support for Others programs provide assistance and limited funds outside of traditional Corps authorities. A watershed study focusing on restoration of the Moodna Creek, Otter Creek, Ramapo River and their associated tributaries could address various problems using a systematic approach.

  • Ii. Natural Resources of the Greenwood Lake Watershed
    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.
