Located within the Highlands physiographic province, Franklin Township is home to two villages, a scenic hamlet and extraordinary waterways. Pohatcong Ridge and Scott’s Mountain form the forested backdrop to the agricultural valleys of the Pohatcong and Musconetcong Rivers. Township residents support open space and farmland preservation in the Township having supported the establishment and subsequent increase in the local Open Space and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund four times since 1999. The local tax, currently the highest in Warren County, has enabled the Township to preserve 325 acres of beautiful, productive farmland in 2005. The Township Committee and the Environmental and Open Space Commission are committed to preserving the rural, agrarian beauty of the Township. The Township has produced both this Open Space and Recreation Plan and a Farmland Planning Incentive Grant to maximize local, county and state funding sources to preserve land in the Township. The goals of the open space program in Franklin were determined through comments provided by residents at a public workshop, discussions with the Environmental and Open Space Commission, and an analysis of the Township’s Master Plan. These goals are to: • Protect forested ridgelines; • Protect, restore and promote historic resources; • Provide recreation facilities to adequately support community recreation programs; • Preserve natural areas for resource-based recreation; trail creation and wildlife habitat protection; • Protect and improve surface and ground water resources; • Preserve farmland and the agricultural heritage of the Township; • Preserve lands along the Pohatcong and Musconetcong River corridors; and • Form partnerships and preservation strategies to help achieve open space preservation in the Township. This plan introduces a system for preserving natural resources, waterways, and farmland. It offers a vision of greenway design based upon protection of the scenic ridgelines, buffering of the sensitive water features, implementation of a trails plan linking community areas, and permanent protection of historic features. The open space preservation program, guided by the Open Space and Recreation Plan, will be a valuable tool to shape the future growth and integrity of the community of Franklin Township. - This Page Intentionally Left Blank - Township of Franklin Open Space and Recreation Plan 2 Community Resources in the Township of Franklin "We have the historic Morris Canal on the northern border and the Musconetcong River Valley on the southern border, and some of the best soil in the state in between.” (Beth Styler Barry, Environmental and Open Space Commission Chair. Franklin Township. Marks Property for Preservation. The Express-Times, August 2, 2005) Located in the southern portion of Warren County, within the Highlands region of New Jersey, Franklin Township is an agricultural community characterized by fertile, limestone river valleys, wooded ridgelines and historic villages. It is bordered to the north by White Township, to the northeast by Washington Township, to the northwest by Harmony Township, to the west by Lopatcong Township and to the southwest by Greenwich Township. The Musconetcong River forms Franklin’s southeast border. Franklin Township has a unique natural resource base, which supports the environmental, economic, and recreational needs of the community. Its river valleys have rich agricultural soils that support the agrarian basis of Franklin’s economy. At the base of these valleys are the Pohatcong Creek and the Musconetcong River. Important to wildlife, water quality and recreation, these waterways have also supported industry throughout the Township’s history. The wooded ridgelines of Scott’s Mountain and Pohatcong Mountain are home to abundant wildlife and are vital watershed lands. State and National Historic landmarks such as the Morris Canal and the Village of Asbury recall early industrial activity and are a significant cultural resource. Together, these elements form the basis of a planned system of open space, which will protect the integrity, beauty, and in turn, the quality of life for the residents of Franklin. Natural Resources Geology Franklin Township is located entirely within the Highlands Physiographic province of New Jersey. This region is characterized by rugged topography that consists of a series of discontinuous rounded ridges separated by deep narrow valleys. The Highlands is mainly underlain by highly metamorphosed igneous and sedimentary rocks of Middle Proterozoic age (1.2 billion to about 900 million years old). Many of the northeast trending valleys within the Highlands are underlain with sedimentary rocks similar to those in the Valley and Ridge Province (NJDEP New Jersey Geologic Survey, Geologic Map of New Jersey, The Geology of New Jersey). Franklin Township’s geology is typical of the Highlands region. Scott’s Mountain and the Pohatcong Ridge are two rugged, erosion resistant ridgelines, composed primarily of Precambrian gneiss (Warren County Environmental Commission, Bedrock Geology of Warren County), which separate the Pohatcong valley and the Musconetcong valley. Bands of limestone generally identified as the Kittatinny Formation underlie these valleys. The Kittatinny Formation is an assemblage of weathered limestone and dolomitic rocks (Township of Franklin, Master Plan 1991, Warren County, New Jersey). Land formed over limestone

  • Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This Blue Goose, Designed by J.N
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This blue goose, designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, has become the symbol of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fi sh, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefi t of the American people. The Service manages the 97-million acre National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 548 national wildlife refuges and thousands of waterfowl production areas. It also operates 69 national fi sh hatcheries and 81 ecological services fi eld stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally signifi cant fi sheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance Program which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fi shing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. Comprehensive Conservation Plans provide long term guidance for management decisions and set forth goals, objectives, and strategies needed to accomplish refuge purposes and identify the Service’s best estimate of future needs. These plans detail program planning levels that are sometimes substantially above current budget allocations and, as such, are primarily for Service strategic planning and program prioritization purposes. The plans do not constitute a commitment for staffi ng increases, operational and maintenance increases, or funding for future land acquisition.

  • Landscape V3.1-Skylands Region (NJ)
    Landscape v3.1-Skylands Region (NJ) Thumbnail Not Available Tags Biota, Environment, Inland Waters, Oceans, Conservation, Ecology, Ecosystem, Environment, Exposure, Marine, Natural Resources, Water, Landscape Summary The Landscape Project was designed to provide users with peer-reviewed, scientifically sound information that transparently documents threatened and endangered species habitat. Landscape Project data are easily accessible and can be integrated with the planning, protection and land management programs of non-government organizations and private landowners and at every level of government- federal, state, county and municipal. Landscape maps and overlays provide a basis for proactive planning, such as the development of local habitat protection ordinances, zoning to protect critical wildlife areas, management guidelines for imperiled species conservation on public and private lands, and land acquisition projects. Most importantly, the information that is readily available in the Landscape Project can be used for planning purposes before any actions such as proposed development, resource extraction (e.g. timber harvests) or conservation measures occur. The maps help increase predictability for local planners, environmental commissions, and developers and help facilitate local land use decisions that appropriately site and balance development and habitat protection. The Landscape Project maps allow the regulated public to anticipate potential environmental regulation in an area and provide some level of assurance regarding areas where endangered, threatened or species of special concern are not likely to occur, affording predictability to the application and development process. Thus, Landscape Project maps can be used proactively by regulators, planners and the regulated public in order to minimize conflict and protect species. This minimizes time and money spent attempting to resolve after-the- fact endangered and threatened species issues.

  • Musconetcong River National Wild and Scenic Rivers Study
    Musconetcong River National Wild and Scenic Rivers Study River Management Plan Prepared by: Musconetcong River Management Council Musconetcong Watershed Association Heritage Conservancy National Park Service June 2011 Update The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute their endorsement by the U.S. Government. Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic River Management Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This management plan proposes a strategy for managing the Musconetcong River and its many outstanding resource values. It was prepared as part of a study to evaluate the Musconetcong River for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The Musconetcong River drains a 157.6 square mile watershed area in northern New Jersey, and as a major tributary to the Delaware River, is part of the 12,755 square mile Delaware River watershed. The Musconetcong River is a boundary water for its entire length, first dividing Morris and Sussex counties, then Hunterdon and Warren counties. All or portions of 26 municipalities lie within the natural boundaries of the Musconetcong watershed. Fourteen municipalities fall within the river segments eligible for National Wild and Scenic Rivers designation. The impetus for the Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic Rivers study can be traced back to 1991, when petitions were circulated calling for the protection of the Musconetcong River under both the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System and New Jersey Wild and Scenic Rivers program. In 1992, Congress passed legislation authorizing the National Park Service to study the eligibility and potential suitability of the Lower Delaware River for addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

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).
