9.5 Borough of Hawthorne Section 9.5 - Borough of Hawthorne 9.5 BOROUGH OF HAWTHORNE This section presents the jurisdictional annex for the Borough of Hawthorne. The annex includes a general overview of the Borough; an assessment of the Borough of Hawthorne’s risk, vulnerability, and mitigation capabilities; and a prioritized action plan to implement prior to a disaster to reduce future losses and achieve greater resilience to natural hazards. 9.5.1 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team The following individuals are the Borough of Hawthorne’s identified HMP update primary and alternate points of contact and NFIP Floodplain Administrator. Table 9.5-1. Hazard Mitigation Planning Team Primary Point of Contact Alternate Point of Contact Richard McAuliffe, OEM Coordinator Brian Vanderhook, Deputy OEM Coordinator 445 Lafayette Ave., Hawthorne, NJ 445 Lafayette Ave., Hawthorne, NJ 973-427-1800 973-427-1800 [email protected] [email protected] NFIP Floodplain Administrator Richard Stewen, Building Official 445 Lafayette Ave., Hawthorne, NJ 973-304-2058 [email protected] 9.5.2 Jurisdiction Profile Once inhabited by the Lenni-Lenape Indians, also known as the Delaware, Hawthorne was settled in the 1700s by Dutch immigrants who were to become the borough's pioneer farmers. This settlement was first part of Manchester Township, a region that was later separated into Hawthorne, Haledon, North Haledon, Prospect Park, Totowa and most of the First Ward of Paterson. The municipality was incorporated by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 24, 1898. Since 1990, the Borough of Hawthorne has operated under a Mayor – Council form of government, as authorized by the State of New Jersey's Faulkner Act with a charter approved by the local voters. Under this form of government, similar in concept to our federal government, the Mayor and the Council are two separate but co-equal power centers. The mayor serves as Chief Executive of the Borough who is responsible for supervising the operations of government and seeing that the laws are enforced, while the Borough Council serves as the Borough's legislative body, passing local ordinances and resolutions. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Borough has a total land area of 3.364 square miles, of which 3.334 square miles is land and 0.03 square miles is water. According to the U.S. Census, the 2010 population for the Borough of Hawthorne was 18,791. The estimated 2017 population was 19,065, a 1.5 percent increase from the 2010 Census. Data from the 2017 U.S. Census American Community Survey indicate that 6.9 percent of the population is 5 years of age or younger and 15 percent is 65 years of age or older. Communities must deploy a support system that enables all populations to safely reach shelters or to quickly evacuate a hazard area. DMA 2000 Hazard Mitigation Plan Update – Passaic County and All Municipalities, New Jersey 9.5-1 June 2020 Section 9.5 - Borough of Hawthorne 9.5.3 Growth/Development Trends Understanding how past, current, and projected development patterns have or are likely to increase or decrease risk in hazard areas is a key component to understanding a jurisdiction’s overall risk to its hazards of concern. Table 9.5-2 summarizes recent and expected future development trends, including major residential/commercial development and major infrastructure development. Figure 9.5-1 and 9.5-2 at the end of this annex illustrate the geographically-delineated hazard areas and the location of potential new development. Table 9.5-2.

Section 5 (Capability Assessment) describes the components included in the capability assessment and their significance for hazard mitigation planning. This section summarizes the following findings of the assessment: . An assessment of legal and regulatory capabilities. Development and permitting capabilities. An assessment of fiscal capabilities. An assessment of education and outreach capabilities. Information on National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) compliance. Classification under various community mitigation programs. The community’s adaptive capacity for the impacts of climate change. For a community to succeed in reducing long-term risk, hazard mitigation must be integrated into the day- to-day local government operations. As part of this planning effort, planning/policy documents were reviewed, and each jurisdiction was surveyed to obtain a better understanding of their progress in plan integration. Areas that mitigation is currently integrated are summarized in Capability Assessment below. The Borough of Hawthorne identified specific integration activities that will be incorporated into municipal procedures are included in the updated mitigation strategy.

COMMISSIONER August 9,2007 The Honorable Jon S. Corzine Governor State House P.O. Box 001 Trenton, NJ 08625-0001 Dear Governor Corzine: Pursuant to your directive issued August 2, 2007, attached please find the interim report on bridges. The accompanying documents detail the number of bridges located in the state, their jurisdiction of control, structural condition, the date of last inspection and the anticipated date of the next inspection .. Of the 6,434 bridges in New Jersey, including those owned and operated by the State, New Jersey Transit, independent and bi-State authorities, counties and municipalities, there are 736 (11%) that are considered "structurally deficient", These are bridges whose deck, superstructure and/or substructure are deteriorated; however, this does not mean that these bridges are unsafe to travel on. I want to assure you that the safety ofthe motoring public is my highest priority. In fact, under federal regulation, the New Jersey Department of Transportation rigorously inspects the bridges under its jurisdiction a minimum of every two (2) years, or more if necessary. Further, the NJDOT Office of the Inspector General is conducting unscheduled audits and investigations of all movable bridge operational procedures to test for compliance with all aspects of the Movable Bridge Protocol Program. I have asked the Inspector General to conduct similar audits of non-movable bridges as well. In addition, inspections of the seven (7) New Jersey bridges with similar deck truss structures as the bridge in Minneapolis have been ordered for immediate inspection based upon the Federal Highway Administration directive.

  • Transportation
    Environmental Resource Inventory Borough of Hawthorne TRANSPORTATION Transportation exists to provide mobility to people enabling them to access all of the necessary activities in their daily lives, such as, a job, school and social activities. The transportation resources available to residents in Hawthorne are outstanding and provide excellent opportunities for citizens to utilize the region’s roads and highways, and public transit to move throughout the region. Fig. 28 is a map of Hawthorne displaying transportation routes. HISTORY According to the Borough of Hawthorne Tercentenary Souvenir book, transportation in Hawthorne has evolved and grown through time. Prior to the Civil War, there were three main roads in the area: Goffle Road, Wagaraw Road, and Lincoln Avenue. Lafayette Avenue was created in 1872 when it was cut through the agricultural area of central Hawthorne (Borough of Hawthorne 1964). As the community grew and subdivisions were developed, streets were platted out predominantly in a grid pattern. The first railroad, the Erie Railroad, was established in 1848 when a bridge was constructed across the Passaic River from Paterson to create a linkage into New York State; however, due to a lack of demand, the train did not stop in Hawthorne until 1867 when a depot was constructed at Wagaraw Road. This station was named Hawthorne, establishing the place name for the town. The station is currently being moved several feet away from the road to avoid traffic collisions into the station. In 1869, a second railroad was constructed through Hawthorne, the New York Susquehanna and Western (NYS&W), to link upstate New York with the Pennsylvania Railroad in Jersey City.

Abstract Regression analyses of major ion concentration, and specific conductance were compared on a decadal basis from field data of the 1960s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s to find if there is a statistically significant increase in calcium, chloride, and sodium compared to other major groundwater ions in the Middle and Lower Passaic River Basins. Time series graphical analyses, bivariate coefficient relationships, statistical prediction interval evaluations, and multivariate analyses were used to determine the significance of the individual ion concentration trends. Through ArcGIS, bedrock geochemistry was examined in correlation with well locations, ion concentrations, and road placements. GIS was used to create groundwater flow maps using previously collected hydraulic head measurements. Time series analyses for the Middle Passaic River Basin indicated that sodium and chloride levels are increasing at different rates throughout the study period.

  • Water Resources
    Environmental Resource Inventory Borough of Hawthorne WATER RESOURCES Clean, plentiful water supplies are essential for all life on earth. Hawthorne’s drinking water comes from the Brunswick Aquifers. There are fish in Goffle Brook and the Passaic River. All the businesses & residents in Hawthorne require water. An understanding of Hawthorne's water resources is critical for maintaining a healthy environment and clean drinking water in sufficient supply. Water, in any form, ice, liquid, or vapor, or in any place, air, Earth surface, or ground, circulates by changing form and position. The sun's energy, directly or indirectly, evaporates water into the air. In the air, water vapor molecules coalesce into liquid droplets forming clouds. Water precipitates from clouds as rain, snow or sleet. When precipitation falls to the ground, the water either runs off the overland, or seeps into pores and cracks of the soil or rocks. Water in the ground may be evaporated or transpired by plants or animals back into the air; may move into lakes, streams, and rivers; or may be stored in the ground as ground water. Ground water and surface water tend to flow downhill towards the ocean. This process is known as the hydrologic cycle (Fig. 17). Fig. 17. Hydrologic Cycle. Diagram modified from Passaic Valley Ground Water Protection Committee’s (PVGWPC) Ground Water document. Some of the rain and snow that precipitates on Hawthorne runs off into Deep Brook, Goffle Brook or the Passaic River, and some infiltrates into the ground. Some of it even reaches the aquifer, which lies beneath the surface of Hawthorne.
