Scenic Resources............................................................................................................................................ 185 Introduction The Environmental Resource Inventory (ERI) is an unbiased report of data that describes the current state of the various environmental resources in a community. It is a compilation of text and maps, and forms the baseline documentation that the community can use to evaluate, and possibly revise, planning documents, policy initiatives, and local ordinances to better protect the remaining resources, and when possible, improve the state of the natural environment. The ERI is not a policy statement or a plan. Rather, it is an objective listing of the resources in the community. It can be used as a tool for Environmental Commissions, Planning Boards and Zoning Boards, as well as by the Township administration and the public at large. The ERI can be adopted as part of the Master Plan, or it can be combined with policy statements and programs to create a Conservation Element for the Master Plan. ERIs are often the basis for resource protection ordinances in a community, which are designed to protect the resources inventoried in the ERI. Whether the ERI is an amendment to the Master Plan, a part of a Conservation Element, or a separate reference document, it is always seen as dynamic and revisable as circumstance on the ground evolve and change. 1 Woodbridge Township 2008 Introduction The legal authority for the drafting and It should be noted that all of the informa- adoption of an ERI is the Environmental tion included in this ERI should be consid- Commission Enabling Legislation (N.J.S.A. ered to be reasonably accurate for planning 40:56A), which states, “Power to conduct purposes, but does not replace site-specific research into the use and possible use of investigations for regulatory purposes.

With a population of approximately 99,000, it is the fifth largest Township in New Jersey. Wood- bridge is the oldest original township in the state and is named after Reverend John W. Woodbridge. The area was originally settled by Lenni-Lenape Indians. In 1664 a treaty was signed transferring the possession of Woodbridge to three New Englanders. The township was granted a charter on June 1, 1669 by King Charles II of England. Over the 1800s and early 1900s portions of the Township were taken to form the neighboring municipalities of Rahway, Edison (formerly Raritan Township), and Carteret (formerly Roosevelt). The first newspaper in New Jersey was printed at Parker’s Press in Woodbridge. The Township also had a role in the Revolutionary War, with some minor conflicts settled in 1777, 1779, and 1782. The township is comprised of ten towns: • Avenel • Colonia • Fords • Hopelawn • Iselin • Keasbey • Port Reading • Menlo Park Terrace • Sewaren • Woodbridge Although these are separate towns, the township functions and thrives as “one community”. 5 Woodbridge Township 2008 Municipal Summary The Township’s population has almost Located in northern Middlesex County, quadrupled since 1930, when 25,266 people Woodbridge is a mature suburb of the called the Township of Woodbridge home, New York Metropolitan region.

  • Detailed Descriptions of Woodbridge
    Township of Woodbridge — Floodplain Management Plan Pa ge 3 B1. Introduction Woodbridge Township has participated in various federal, state, county and local government and private sec- tor programs aimed at reducing flooding impacts within the Township. In the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy, the Township connected flood victims with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other assistance agencies. Also, the Township participated in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Blue Acres Program, which has already acquired and removed 139 residential properties from the Township’s Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs). Despite such ongoing programs, flooding problems persist at a number of low-lying properties within the Township. To reduce flood damages, and increasing flood-insurance costs, Woodbridge Township is in the process of joining Federal Emergency Management Agen- cy’s (FEMA’s) Community Rating System (CRS) Program. This Program en- courages and recognizes community floodplain management and planning ac- tivities that exceed the minimum requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). CRS rewards such activities by discounting flood insurance premiums for policy holders within a participating community. CRS goals are summarized as follows: • to reduce and avoid flood damage to insurable property; • to strengthen and support the insurance aspects of the NFIP; and • to foster comprehensive floodplain management. By supporting these common goals, Woodbridge Township property owners will become more flood resilient, and less burdened by rising insurance costs. Accordingly, this report was prepared to: 1. Help minimize risks to human life within hazardous floodplains, and reduce the amount of flood damage sustained during future flood events.
