The proposal recommended the transfer of existing and future sewage flows from Regional Growth Areas located in the three Atlantic Basin municipalities to the Delaware Basin. Information which was subsequently provided to the Commission by the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA) indi­ cated that the ultimate design flow for this interbasin transfer was 3.6 million gallons per day and 2.75 million gallons per day from the Mullica River Basin and Great Egg Harbor River Basin, respectively.

Box 7 New Lisbon, NJ 08064 INTRODUCTION New Jersey Public Law 2001, Chapter 165 directs the Pinelands Commission to assess and prepare a report on the key hydrologic and ecological information needed to determine how the current and future water-supply needs within the Pinelands area may be met while protecting the Kirkwood- Cohansey aquifer system and avoiding any adverse ecological impact on the Pinelands area. The aquifer assessment is to be implemented in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Rutgers University, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the United States Geological Survey. The legislation appropriated $5,500,000 from the Water Supply Fund for the preparation of the assessment by the Pinelands Commission. Scientists from the cooperating agencies and institutions met periodically to design a draft work plan for the Kirkwood-Cohansey Project. The draft was reviewed by a panel of scientists with expertise in the areas of research addressed in the work plan.
  • Comprehensive Estuarine Fish Inventory Program: Great Bay-Mullica River: Year Three

    Comprehensive Estuarine Fish Inventory Program: Great Bay-Mullica River: Year Three

    Draft Final Report for Title: Comprehensive Estuarine Fish Inventory Program: Great Bay-Mullica River: Year Three Investigator names and institution: Kenneth W. Able and Thomas M. Grothues, Rutgers the State University of New Jersey 2020 Problem Statement and Needs Assessment: Estuaries are important spawning, nursery, and harvest areas for fish and invertebrates of recreational, commercial, and ecological importance in the temperate waters of the northeastern U. S., including New Jersey (Able and Fahay 1998, 2010a). Our knowledge of the life history and ecology of fishes in estuaries has been improving in recent years, in part, because the information on these topics is in increasing demand by ichthyologists, estuarine ecologists, pollution biologists and resource managers at local, state, federal and international levels (Able 2016). The fishes constitute one of the largest portions of the animal biomass and thus they are important to estuarine ecosystems. Sport and commercial fishermen are also becoming increasingly interested in fish life histories and ecology because they are beginning to play a larger advisory role where fish habitats and fish survival are concerned. This interest is extending to forage fishes. Recently, these audiences have been further broadened by an increasingly informed general public, who are interested in (and alarmed by) the conflicting interests of aesthetic and recreational uses versus negative impacts resulting from human population pressures that bring habitat destruction and direct and indirect (non-point) sources of pollution. Some have estimated that up to 75% of economically important east coast fish populations are to some degree “estuarine dependent”. A focus on estuarine fishes is also especially appropriate, largely because it is while they are in estuaries that they encounter several critical life history “bottlenecks” that can greatly affect survival rates and the resulting abundance of certain populations that we wish to harvest or conserve.
