INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive Wastewater Management Plan (WMP) for Sussex County. The WMP has been submitted to the New Jersey Department of En- vironmental Protection for approval so that it may be incorporated into the Sussex County Water Quality Management Plan via the plan amendment procedure (N.J.A.C. 7:15). Section 208 of the Clean Water Act Amendments of 1972 requires the development of area-wide Water Quality Management Plans (WQMP) as an overall document relating to water quality, and included as part of the WQMP is a Wastewater Management Plan. The Sussex County WMP, referred to as the “plan” in this document, includes maps and narratives depicting the location, capacity, ownership, operator, and type of all wastewater treatment facilities in the County. The plan also sets out the framework for the control and mitigation of non-point source pollution from human activities such as urban development, agriculture, failing septic systems and the like. When the first WQMP was prepared in 1976, Sussex County was the area-wide designated Wa- ter Quality Planning Agency with jurisdiction outside the County in parts of Jefferson, Mt. Ar- lington, Mount Olive and Roxbury that lie in the Musconetcong watershed. Sussex County is currently the designated agency for wastewater planning, but only within the County boundary. A. Wastewater Planning In accordance with State Water Quality Management Planning rules (N.J. Administrative Code 7:15), the Sussex County Board of Chosen Freeholders are a Designated Agency for Water Qual- ity Management Planning. In 1976, Sussex County decided to take on that responsibility, and prepared a Water Quality Management Plan, revised in 1987. Few counties have done that in New Jersey, and Sussex County has been active in protecting water quality while planning for sewer service areas and infrastructure for treating wastewater. The Sussex County Water Quality Policy Advisory Committee (commonly referred to as the “208 PAC”) advises the Freeholder Board on wastewater plan amendments and other water quantity and quality issues. In 2001, the Sussex Countywide Wastewater Management Plan (WMP) was compiled, then ap- proved by the County Freeholders and the NJ Dept. of Environmental Protection. The existing Sussex Countywide WMP is a summary of all municipal wastewater plans approved by DEP, as of September 2001. There have also been approved amendments after September 2001, which are included in this plan update. The current plan is a summary of existing and future (approved but not yet built) sewer service areas and NJPDES Permit locations. A NJPDES (New Jersey Point Discharge Elimination System) Permit for wastewater discharge cannot be issued by DEP unless it is consistent with the approved Wastewater Management Plan. The wastewater dis- charge is either to surface water or ground water, and is measured in gallons per day. The Sussex County Municipal Utilities Authority (SCMUA) operates the largest sewer treatment plant in Sussex County, located in Hardyston Twp. The “Upper Wallkill Valley Water Pollution Control Plant” is permitted for 3 million gallons per day (gpd) discharge to the Wallkill River, and its sewer service area extends into Franklin, Hamburg, Hardyston, Vernon, Sussex, Wantage, and Sparta. In 2005, the DEP approved a discharge to ground water in Vernon Twp. of 265,000 gpd -- the wastewater will be treated at the SCMUA facility in Hardyston and then piped back to Vernon for discharge. SCMUA also operates other wastewater facilities in the County, including 5 Hampton Commons facility in Hampton Twp. Each municipality in the sewer service area has an allocation for their use, and excess allocation may be transferred to another municipality upon mutual agreement and amendment to the wastewater plan. The Town of Newton is the owner and operator of its own wastewater treatment plant that has a permitted wastewater flow of 1.4 million gallons per day (gpd) discharge to surface water. As of 2001, existing flow was about 1 million gpd, so there is additional capacity available in that plant. The Musconetcong Sewer Authority owns and operates a wastewater treatment plant located in Morris County, with a permitted discharge of 5.9 million gpd. Its sewer service area extends into Stanhope, Byram and most recently, Hopatcong with the construction of sewers into the Bor- ough. There are also smaller package treatment plants located throughout Sussex County that serve schools, commercial and industrial sites, and are typically less than 20,000 gpd discharge to ground water. B. Watershed Management Areas The streams listed below all originate or have headwaters in Sussex County. Headwaters are characterized by steep gradients, large cobbles and rocks on the stream bed, and narrow flood- ways. Waters of this type tend to be clear, cool and swiftly flowing, and often provide habitat for trout and other cold water species. The Wallkill River has an unusual characteristic, as it is one of the few rivers that flows North. It flows thru New York State and eventually drains into the Hudson River. WATERSHED MANAGEMENT AREAS SUBWATERSHEDS UPPER DELAWARE Delaware (direct drainage to river) (WMA #1) Shimmers Brook Flat Brook Van Campens Paulins Kill Pequest River Musconetcong River WALLKILL Wallkill River (WMA #2) Papakating Creek Pochuck Creek UPPER PASSAIC/ Pequannock River ROCKAWAY Rockaway River (WMA #6) 6 II. SUMMARY TABLE OF SIGNIFICANT ACTIONS This WMP update is designed to meet the requirements of the DEP but it also is a planning document tied to implementation of the Strategic Growth Plan. By agreement with DEP staff, potential centers and associated central utility services are identified and discussed in general terms. The WQMP and Strategic Growth Plan (SGP) do not show these with specific area boundaries. They are included as there must be a direct connection between center-oriented de- velopment and essential utility services. This WMP update is somewhat unusual as it removes some areas of proposed sewer service in the County in order to bring consistency between the County WQMP, the draft Highlands Re- gional Master Plan and the County Endorsed Strategic Growth Plan. The following Significant Actions will be in effect once the WMP is approved: Modification of the Wastewater Planning Area Jurisdiction – The change proposed in this plan reduces the area to only Sussex County itself. This would remove the municipalities in Morris County that were part of the Sussex County 2001 WMP: Mt. Arlington, Jeffer- son, Roxbury and Netcong. They are part of the Musconetcong Sewerage Authority WMP and would most likely become part of a Morris County WMP in the future. Reduction in Future Sewer Service Area – This plan proposes to delete certain areas des- ignated as “2,000 to 20,000 gallons per day discharge

  • The Nature of Boulder-Rich Deposits in the Upper Big Flat Brook Drainage, Sussex County, New Jersey
    Middle States Geographer, 2009, 42: 33-43 THE NATURE OF BOULDER-RICH DEPOSITS IN THE UPPER BIG FLAT BROOK DRAINAGE, SUSSEX COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Gregory A. Pope, Andrew J. Temples, Sean I. McLearie, Joanne C. Kornoelje, and Thomas J. Glynn Department of Earth & Environmental Studies Montclair State University 1 Normal Avenue Montclair, New Jersey, 07043 ABSTRACT: The upper reaches of the Big Flat Brook drainage, northwest of Kittatinny Mountain, contain a variety of glacial, pro-glacial, and periglacial deposits from the Late Quaternary. The area is dominated by recessional moraines and ubiquitous ground moraine, along with meltwater deposits, drumlins, and possible post- glacial periglacial features. We have identified a curious boulder-rich deposit in the vicinity of Lake Ocquittunk and Lake Wapalanne on upper Big Flat Brook. The area where these boulder deposits occur is mapped (1:24,000 surficial geology) as till. As mapped and observed, larger cobbles and boulders within the till are quartz-pebble conglomerate, quartzite, sandstone, and shale. The boulder-rich deposits differ from the typical till, however. Unlike the local till, which is more mixed in lithology, the boulder deposits are nearly exclusively Shawangunk conglomerate. The deposits are discontinuous, but appear to occur at a topographic level above the meltwater stream terraces. The boulders in the deposits lie partially embedded in soil, but are very closely spaced. The boulders range in size from ~20cm to over 100cm, and present a subrounded to subangular shape. There appears to be a fabric orientation of the boulders, NE-SW, with subsidiary orientations. As the boulder deposits differ from other mapped features in the area, we attempt to ascertain the origin for the deposits.

  • 2015 Surface Water Classification Assessments-Rivers and Streams
    NJ DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries SURFACE WATER CLASSIFICATION - STREAMS 2015 Surface Water Classification Assessments Trout are useful bioindicators of stream health as excellent water quality and habitat are necessary for their survival and successful reproduction. In 1968, the Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries initiated the process of identifying and classifying New Jersey waters according to their suitability to support trout. Five years later, a classification system for New Jersey waters was developed. The Bureau’s classification system, although already in use by various programs within the Department, was formally recognized in 1981 under the state’s newly adopted Surface Water Quality Standards (SWQS). Today, waters of the state are classified according to their suitability to support trout. Lakes are classified on their ability to support trout year round, whereas streams are classified on the occurrence of natural reproduction and the presence or absence of trout and/or trout associated species (Hamilton and Barno 2006). Ultimately, the more suitable a waterway is to supporting trout the higher the classification and the more protection it will receive. The Department’s Land Use Regulation Program, through Stream Encroachment, Freshwater Wetlands, and the more recently developed storm water rules acknowledge the fragile nature of these ecosystems and provide additional protective measures. Although a vast amount of work has been accomplished in classifying New Jersey waters, waters continue to be classified and reclassified according to their trout supporting capabilities, when justified by additional field investigation data collected by NJDFW. These data are interpreted and recommendations for surface water classification changes are provided to DEP’s Bureau of Water Monitoring and Standards, Environmental Analysis Restoration and Standards, who ultimately integrate changes to the SWQS through an established rule making process.
