    USGS science for a changing world SPARTA, NEW JERSEY, FLOOD OF AUGUST 11-14, 2000 More than 14 inches of rain fell in a small area of southeastern Sussex and northwestern Morris County in northwestern New Jersey during August 11-14, 2000. Flood peaks at some U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations on Lake Hopatcong, Musconetcong River, Green Pond Brook, Rockaway River, and Russia Brook tributary were the highest ever recorded. About 2,700 homes and businesses in Sussex, Morris, Warren, and Hunterdon Counties were flooded, and about 2,600 people were evacuated. Many bridges, dams, and roads were damaged or destroyed. Damage was estimated at $179 million, and Sussex and Morris Counties were declared Federal disaster areas. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), conducted a study of the flood that occurred in the Sparta, New Jersey, area during August 11-14, 2000.

    LIFELIFE AROUNDAROUND THETHE LAKELAKE Lake Hopatcong Games and Activities It’s great not to swim into trash Look how healthy our lake is! Hope kids learn how to keep our lake clean LakeHopatcongFoundation.org BY THE NUMBERS The Lake Hopatcong Watershed A lake is not just like a huge bucket of water. There’s a lot more to it than that. The life of a lake includes hills, slopes, plants, trees, streams, rivers… pretty much every part of the land surrounding it. It’s called a watershed. A watershed is an area of land that drains into a body of water. Watersheds come in all shapes and sizes. Some are as small as a backyard that drains into a pond, others are thousands of acres in size. No matter where you are, you are in a watershed! Lake Hopatcong is in the Middle Delaware–Musconetcong Watershed. Lake Hopatcong is the largest of the more than 3,500 lakes, reservoirs and ponds in New Jersey! It drains into the Musconetcong River and has more types of game fish than any other lake or waterway within the state. Let’s take a look at Lake Hopatcong and its watershed by the numbers: 4: Towns that border Lake Hopatcong (Hopatcong, Jefferson, Mount Arlington and Roxbury). 9: Length of Lake Hopatcong, in miles, a distance that would take about three hours to walk. Size, in pounds, of the largest rainbow trout ever caught in New Jersey at Lake Hopatcong—about 13: as heavy as 1½ gallons of milk. 28: Fish species found in a recent fishery study of Lake Hopatcong.

In addition to the river itself, the two major waterbodies located in the Upper Musconetcong River watershed are Lake Hopatcong and, immediately downstream, Lake Musconetcong. Both lakes have been recognized by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as being impaired for excessive in- lake total phosphorus (TP) concentrations originating from high phosphorus loads. These high TP loads result in a variety of water quality impacts such as algal blooms and nuisance densities of aquatic vegetation, and can eventually contribute to more large- scale impacts such as fish kills. In response to this impairment, NJDEP conducted phosphorus TMDL analyses on both Lake Hopatcong and Lake Musconetcong. These analyses were completed in 2003. However, it was recognized that some of the data used to quantify the sources of phosphorus for either lake was relatively old (> 20 years).

    GUIDE TO LAKE HOPATCONG, 0. F. G. MEGIE. ---------- PUBLISHED BY O. F. G. MEGIE, 146 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. ROCI(A vVA Y, N. J.: PRINT OF ROCKAWAY PUBLISHING COMPANY. IS 9 I, ~ r.il E-t 0 ~ Guide to Lake Hopatcong. BY 0. F. G. MEGIE. AKE HOPATCONG,' one of the most picturesque lakes L in the United States, is situated in the New Jersey highlands on the dividing line between Morris and Sussex counties. It is nin~ miles long in a straight line, or twelve by partially following its bays and coves. It is nine hundred and twenty-six feet above ~he level of the sea, and is sur­ rounded by mountains running from two hundred to three hundred feet higher. It is fed by a large number of small streams, of which Weldon, Jaynes and Negro brooks are the largest, and also by innumerable springs in the bed of the Lake. As a result of an analysis made of the water at Columbia College, it is found that there is no fresh-water lake in this country showing a purer water than Hopatcong. There is no marshy ground around the Lake and the shores are all rock-bound. There is no malaria about the Lake and the air is dry, pure and bracing. The famous Jersey mosquito is a stranger to this locality; the climate probably does not agree ·with his health. The Lake is· fifty miles from N evv York, far enough away to be safe from the excursions of New York and Brooklyn toughs with their chowder parties, sour ·beer, profanity and rowdyism, but near enough for the man of busine~s to go back and forth every day, if necessary, through the summer seas·on.
