  • Natural and Social Features of Monmouth County
    NATURAL and CULTURAL FEATURES of MONMOUTH COUNTY Background Reading for Environmental Health Investigations MCHD Rev. 07/29/13 INTRODUCTION Monmouth County in central New Jersey is entirely located within the Inner and Outer Coastal Plain, part of the Atlantic Plain geology that extends 2200 miles from Cape Cod to the Yucatan Peninsula (USGS, 2003). There are 53 municipalities within a land area of 471.74 square miles of highly erodible soils that were originally deposited as runoff from the slopes of the Appalachians (MCPB, 2005). Some County History Following Henry Hudson’s exploration of the Sandy Hook shoreline in 1609, Monmouth County was predominantly under Dutch influence from about 1614 to 1664 (Colts Neck Historical Society, 1965). The New Jersey coastline had previously been sited and claimed for England (Giovanni Caboto, 1497), France (Giovanni de Verrazano, 1524), and Spain (Estevan Gomez, 1525); and had been Scheyichbi, Long Land Water, to the Lenape Indian Nation (Colts Neck Historical Society, 1965). Four major trails used by Native Americans terminated at the Navesink River: the Achkinkeshacky (Hackensack) Trail from the Hudson River; the Minisink Trail from the Great Lakes region; the Raritan-Lopotcong Trail from the west, and the Crosweeksung Trail from the southwest. This last trail entered NJ at Trenton, passed through Freehold to the Yellow Brook at Colts Neck, where it split into a northern path to Tinton Falls and Red Bank, and a southern path to the Shark River and Manasquan (NFECA, 2009). The first settlers in Middletown, the oldest settlement in NJ, are reported to have arrived as early as 1613, seven years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts; Middletown was originally called Shaquaset by the Lenape (Boyd, 2004; Mandeville, 1927).

  • New Jersey Military Installation Growth And
    NEW JERSEY MILITARY INSTALLATION GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT TASK FORCE REPORT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS JUNE 2015 SUBMITTED BY Honorable Kim Guadagno, Lieutenant Governor, Chair Brigadier General Michael Cunniff, Adjutant General of New Jersey Melissa Orsen, CEO of the Economic Development Authority Michele Brown, President and CEO of Choose New Jersey The Honorable Jim Saxton, former Congressman Paul Boudreau, President of the Morris County Chamber of Commerce Dear Governor Christie: The New Jersey Military Installation Growth and Development Task Force is proud to release this report containing recommendations and strategies to fortify New Jersey’s military installations in the face of potential federal budget cuts or a future Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. Over the last year, the Task Force learned a great deal about New Jersey’s military installations, their economic impact on the state, and their impact on their home communities. As we studied our military installations, the public debate about funding national defense and military installations intensified. Be it the impacts of sequestration, the looming possibility of a BRAC, or the possibility of losing missions to other installations, the public debate continues and the urgency increases. Those issues are of paramount importance to our nation and our national defense. Accordingly, the primary decision makers are federal officials and entities. Nevertheless, the state and local communities have a role – albeit a supporting role – in this on-going federal dialogue and in our efforts to protect the military installations that provide so much to our communities. To such ends, this report presents a series of recommendations for the state, local governments, interested stakeholders, and impacted communities to undertake to help not only improve the vitality of our military installations, but also to inform our federal representatives.

In 1665, the Monmouth Patent allowed settlers to have town meetings, courts and a General Assembly under English rule (MCDPI, 2005). Monmouth County was formed in 1683 by the Proprietary Assembly, and is one of the original four counties of “East Jersey” (the others were Bergen, Essex, and Middlesex; the East Jersey Board of Proprietors had been established in 1682 in the provincial capital of Perth Amboy) (MCDPI, 2005; LWV, 1974).

  • Summary of Findings
    Summary of Findings The Interagency Waterway Infrastructure Improvement Task Force met in open session a total of seven times. In addition, there were many meetings held involving various committees. The Task Force Staff met often with individuals and dam owners, and groups representing local, county, state and federal agencies. Presentations were made to the public in the impacted areas that outlined various programs and assistance available for dam restoration. These meetings were held in an informal manner, and many issues were discussed. It must be noted that this Task Force had minimal funding and resources, no subpoena power, and no legal authority to compel witnesses to testify under oath. The Task Force assigned committees to study several issues in an effort to understand the effects of the storm, which occurred on July 12-15, 2004, and the failures of several dams, and the subsequent floods that resulted. These issues are identified in the Table of Contents which follows. • The result of committee studies, Task Force meetings, and staff input are reported as follows: 1. The storm of July 12-15, 2004, was, beyond a reasonable doubt, a 1000-year storm. 2. Several of the dams along the Rancocas waterway did not meet current construction standards. 3. There were no Emergency Action Plans for many of the impacted dams. 4. The Dam Safety Bureau (NJDEP) has inadequate enforcement powers to insure compliance with its rules and regulations. 5. There was no working alarm system to alert the residents along waterways of potential flooding. 6. Local, county, and state emergency workers, both professional and volunteer, did an outstanding job to protect life and property.

  • Neck and Neck in New Jersey's 3 District
    _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Contact: Please attribute this information to: PATRICK MURRAY Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll 732-263-5858 (office) 732-979-6769 (cell) For more information: [email protected] Monmouth University Polling Institute West Long Branch, NJ 07764 www.monmouth.edu/polling Released: Tuesday, October 7, 2008 rd NECK AND NECK IN NEW JERSEY’S 3 DISTRICT Myers leads Adler by 3, but many voters still undecided The race to fill the open seat in New Jersey’s 3 rd Congressional district is extremely close, according to a Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey Poll of voters living in that district. The poll finds 41% of registered voters prefer Republican Medford Mayor Chris Myers while 40% support Democratic State Senator John Adler. Among likely voters, Myers leads Adler by a slightly larger margin – 44% to 41%, with a sizable 15% who are undecided. However, this lead is well within the survey’s margin of error. Myers holds a 79% to 9% lead among his fellow Republicans, while Adler has a 79% to 4% advantage among Democratic voters. Independent voters split 40% for Myers and 37% for Adler, although 23% of this voter group are still undecided. The seat is among those districts targeted nationally by Democrats this year. It became open after GOP incumbent Jim Saxton announced his retirement after 24 years in Congress. In Ocean County – considered the more Republican part of the district – Myers has a strong 45% to 33% lead. However, in the rest of the district – including parts of Burlington County and Adler’s hometown of Cherry Hill in Camden County – the Democrat is favored by 45% to 38%.
