Other external forces such as severe repetitive flooding in certain Township neighborhoods (that have led to buyouts or The Township of Pequannock is a historic community that home elevations) and affordable housing mandates, require balances high quality suburban living with proximity to the close looks at modernizing future land use and development natural environment. This balance has manifested itself in decision making. There are opportunities to provide housing the form of peaceful and bucolic neighborhoods near an that meets the evolving market demands of Millennials and excellent system of schools, parks, and preserved open Baby Boomers, and early “i-Gen” starting to reach adult space.

    98 PASSAIC RIVER BASIN 01388500 POMPTON RIVER AT POMPTON PLAINS, NJ LOCATION.--Lat 40°58'09", long 74°16'55", Passaic County, Hydrologic Unit 02030103, on left bank just upstream of the Passaic Valley Water Commission pumping station, 800 ft below confluence of Pequannock and Ramapo Rivers, 140 ft upstream from bridge on Jackson Avenue (Pompton Plains Cross Road), and 0.7 mi east of Pompton Plains. DRAINAGE AREA.--355 mi2. PERIOD OF RECORD.--March 1903 to December 1904, May 1940 to current year. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1302. REVISED RECORDS.--WSP 1202: 1945(M). GAGE.--Water-stage recorder, crest-stage gage, and concrete control. Datum of gage is 160.00 ft above NGVD of 1929. March 1903 to December 1904, nonrecording gage on main spillway of dam 2,000 ft upstream at different datum. May 1940 to September 1964 two water-stage recorders, each above a concrete dam about 2,000 ft upstream at datum 14.46 ft higher. REMARKS.--Records good, except for discharges over 2,000 ft3/s and estimated daily values which are fair. Water diverted from reservoirs on Pequannock and Wanaque Rivers, from Pompton River to Point View Reservoir, and from Ramapo River to Wanaque Reservoir and Oradell Reservoir (from February 1985) for municipal supply (see Hackensack River basin, diversions into and from, and Passaic River basin, diversions). Discharges for water years 1965- 68 have been adjusted in USGS databases in water year 2004 to reflect only flow over weir only. Previously published discharges for water years 1965-68 included flow over the weir, plus pumpage to, or minus releases from Point View Reservoir through Passaic Valley Water Commission's Jackson Avenue Pumping Station.

  • Riverwork Action Plan Revised June 2014 PLFAB Action Plan June 2014 Page 2 of 8
    Pompton Lakes Flood Advisory Board Riverwork Action Plan Revised June 2014 PLFAB Action Plan June 2014 Page 2 of 8 In August of 2010, The Pompton Lakes Flood Advisory Board (FAB)began monitoring the conditions of the Pequannock, Ramapo, and Wanaque Rivers. The board members, our council liaison, and other resident volunteers walked or boated the length of each river, within the borders of Pompton Lakes, and recorded all visible hazards. For the purpose of this assessment, a river hazard is any visible obstruction of the channel, any visible shoal, and areas of river bank erosion. Field work has been conducted on a bi-annual basis, and results have been compiled and analyzed to produce a series of River Hazard Assessment Maps and Riverwork Priority Maps. These maps, in turn, have been used to generate a River Work Action Plan, which was originally submitted to the Pompton Lakes Mayor and Borough Council in July of 2013. Following the completion of the April 2014 river assessment field work, the FAB complied the following update to the Riverwork Action Plan. A total of 212 photographs of areas and items of concern were taken during the 2014 field work. All photos are available from either the FAB or the Borough Clerk’s office. Thanks to the continued river maintenance efforts by the borough of Pompton Lakes, we have seen a drop in the normal water levels of two of our three rivers. This update to the Riverwork Action Plan reflects the successful completion of the top priority projects listed in the original document.
