Monthly Board Update September 2014 (For June, July, and August 2014 Activities) Monthly Board Update September 2014 (For June, July, and August 2014 Activities) From the Executive Director Questions: Contact Jim at 609-737-3735 x22 or [email protected] Environmental Center Our spectacular new environmental center emerged from a flurry of summer activity. Most of the external work has been completed and the focus has largely shifted to the interiors, external pathways and landscaping. We are busy will scores of decisions on small construction details and planning and fundraising for the new programming that will take place in the new center. Over the summer, we secured a donation of our solar panels from RECOM Solar and are working with a donor who has agreed to support our furniture needs. We’ve entered a contract with Exhibit Concepts Inc. to fabricate and install our exhibits, which have been designed by Van Sickle & Rolleri, Ltd. Work continues on the wetlands-based wastewater treatment system and should be completed in October. We currently expect the building to be completed and ready for staff to move in by mid-December. Science Education Initiative Jeff Hoagland supervised a Hopewell Middle School and Hillsborough High School teacher over the summer to prepare several units of science curriculum that advance the Next Generation Science Standards. Jeff immersed himself in two weeks of training on the new standards to prepare for a new chapter in Watershed education programs. We are hosting the Hopewell Valley’s new STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) magnet program this fall during its “water and weather” unit. Three Environmental Questions on November Ballot A flurry of activity over the summer has put three important measures in front of voters on the November ballot. The state legislature voted overwhelmingly to authorize NJ Question #2, which would create a long-term dedicated funding source for open space, farmland and historic preservation by reallocating a portion of the corporate business tax that is already dedicate to environmental programs. Approximately $70 million a year would be dedicated to this purpose initially, increasing to $115 million in 2019. The Hopewell Township Committee voted 4-1 to authorize a local ballot proposal that would increase the local open space tax from 3 cents to 4 cents per $100 of assessed property value. The Mercer County Freeholders voted approved a non-binding measure that will ask county voters whether to enact a 5 cent tax on plastic bags used at retail outlets. The Watershed Association is supporting all three of these measures. New staff We have hired experienced environmental attorney Michael Pisauro to become our new Policy Director. Mike has been the advocate for the New Jersey Environmental Lobby and has represented Pinelands Preservation Alliance, Save Hamilton Open Space, and other environmental organizations on various issues. Kate Miller is our new Watershed Institute Coordinator, replacing Melissa Ocana who moved to western Massachusetts with her husband. Kate recently received her masters degree in Water Science and Policy from the University of Delaware. She received the School of Public Policy and Administration’s 2013 “Excellence in Water Resources Scholarship” award. 1 Development Questions: Contact Carol Christofferson at 609-737-3735 x 36 or [email protected] FOUNDATIONS - GRANTS 2014 Amount Date of Name 2013 Giving Request of Received Gift Restricted/ Schedule Request Unrestricted Bunbury Company $15,000 August $20,000 December Unrestricted Canaday Family Charitable Trust $50,000 October $50,000 December Unrestricted Geraldine R.

Contribs $90,792 $62,030 $61,420 Conservation Questions: Contact Kevin Walsh at 609-737-3735 x30 or [email protected] Grounds & Construction Coordination: The Watershed reserve is looking much better than it did three months ago as a result of the landscaping work coordinated by WS Cumby, NSU and the Watershed. All of the large piles of fill that had taken over where the driveways once stood have been graded and are now growing grass. The entrance driveway and the view towards the house are peaceful once again. The daily coordination of watershed operations with the construction project has had its share challenges, especially for our camp staff who dealt with closed exit driveways during camper drop off and construction vehicles blocking access points on more than one occasion. We did the best we could in communicating with our families, and thankfully they understood and showed tremendous patience when coming and going in our parking areas. Trail Maintenance: The addition of a new brush hog for trail cutting and clearing enabled Matt to keep on top of the trails all summer long. In addition, a part-time staff person dedicated to grass cutting, branch collection and meadow trail maintenance allowed Matt to stay focused on keeping the trails open. There were a number of volunteer groups that came out during the spring (BMS, CA Technologies, and Janssen) to trim branches back on many of our trails. These combined efforts saved our staff significant time and energy and allowed us to focus on other priority areas such as coordinating with the construction project and assisting education staff prepare for the camp season. Farm House: Scott Sillars and Kevin Walsh have spoken with one realtor regarding options for renting out and re-configuring the existing farm house for dormitory style housing once the new environmental is open. Some upgrades to the kitchen will be required and Watershed staff are working with a contractor to obtain estimates for any additional renovation that may be required by Hopewell Township. 3 Advocacy Questions: contact Jim Waltman at 609-737-3735 x22 or [email protected] Statewide Issues: Sustainable Jersey: Joan reviewed and extensively revised the “Build Out Analysis” which is being prepared for Sustainable Jersey certification points. A phone conference is planned to discuss these changes. The issue should be ready for SJ municipal points in October 2014. Joan attended a conference about water resources with keynote speaker Dr. Dan Van Abs. The focus was to present the dire consequences of not improving water infrastructure and danger to human health and the environment. Local Issues: Cranbury: Riparian Zone Ordinance: Joan was very successful before the Environmental Commission in preparing and promoting the adoption of amendments to the Riparian Zone ordinance which would make it more protective of stream corridors. The EC will now have to defend the changes to the Planning Board and Township Committee. Although variances can be granted in certain limited proofs, the RZO expands the riparian corridor to 150 from the top of the bank of any waterway, or 200 feet from the centerline of the stream, whichever is greater. We plan to appear at meetings and explain the necessity for this ordinance amendment for water quality and healthy habitats. Transco Pipeline. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission released an Environmental Assessment for the proposed pipeline expansion, concluding that the proposed action will “not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. Based on this finding, FERC will not prepare a more thorough Environmental Impact Statement. We are coordinating comments on the document with towns and environmentalists in Montgomery and Princeton. Princeton: Shade Tree Commission. The Princeton Council unanimously adopted the recommendations of the Shade Tree Commission and adopted a new/joint ordinance which limits tree cutting and destruction of trees on individual lots with certain limited exceptions, such as dead trees. Permits are required before tree cutting of any tree over 8 inch diameter and the town Arborist will inspect all requests. Joan McGee worked diligently on this ordinance for more than a year. PennEast pipeline: Another proposed gas pipeline was announced over the summer. A preliminary map shows a route that would cut through large areas of western Hunterdon County and Mercer County, including a conservation easement over which the Watershed Association holds an ownership interest. Hopewell Township: Pennytown 70- affordable dwelling units. Affordable housing developer Conifer advised the Township Committee that it would need the entire 25 acre lot for sewage disposal if it were to construct 70 units. This was not favorably viewed by the Township Committee. But, no plan was adopted about how to proceed. Scotch Road: The Hopewell Township Planning Board met several times over the summer to discuss a conceptual plan to replace existing approvals for more than a million square feet of commercial office space with up to 2,500 housing units on Scotch Road near the large Meryl Lynch office complex.

    PHASE II EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RARITAN RIVER BASIN NUTRIENT TMDL STUDY WATERSHED MODEL AND TMDL CALCULATIONS PREPARED FOR : RUTGERS UNIVERSITY NEW JERSEY ECO COMPLEX AND NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DIVISION OF WATER MONITORING AND STANDARDS MAY 2013 Kleinfelder / Omni , Research Park, 321 Wall Street, Princeton, NJ 08540 p | 609.924.8821 f | 609.924.8831 Phase II Raritan River Basin Nutrient TMDL May 2013 – Final Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study was undertaken to provide the scientific foundation to understand the cause- and-effect relationships between pollutant loads and observed water quality responses for a select set of related water quality impairments in the Raritan River Basin. Defining these relationships provides the Department with the defensible technical basis to address total phosphorus (TP), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and total suspended solids (TSS) impairments in streams and lakes within the study area. This will include regulatory actions, implemented through NJPDES permits, and non-regulatory actions involving regional and local partners, targeted funding, and stewardship building. Phosphorus can cause designated use impairment by stimulating excessive growth of algae and aquatic plants, which can cause oxygen supersaturation during the day and oxygen depletion at night. Large diurnal variations of DO are often associated with large diurnal variations of pH, both of which can be induced by excessive growth in the system. As a result, phosphorus is related, through primary productivity, to both DO
