Environmental Commission MANALAPAN TOWNSHIP Environmental Commission MANALAPAN TOWNSHIP NATURAL RESOURCE INVENTORY (ADDENDUM) PREPARED FOR MANALAPAN TOWNSHIP ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION NOVEMBER, 1993 This document was prepared with the aid of a grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy, Office of Environmental Services. 120 Route 522 & Taylors Mills Road, Manalapan, New Jersey 07726(908)446-3200 TABLE OF CONTENTS OPEN SPACE Existing Land Use Definition of Open Space Areas Contiguous Open Space STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Introduction Watersheds Stormwater Management Overly Stormwater Quality Stormwater Management Practices WILDLIFE Major Vegetation Communities Wildlife Diversity LIST OF APPENDICES Appendix 1 List of Mammalian Species Appendix 2 List of Reptile and Amphibian Species Appendix 3 List of Avian Species Appendix 4 Open Space Overlay Appendix 5 Stormwater Management Overlay Appendix 6 Wildlife Overlay DEFINITION OF OPEN SPACE Existing Land Use Historically, Manalapan Township was largely a rural community, although Manalapan's land use character has changed since the 1960's wherein rapid population growth, availability of vacant land, and varying development patterns dominated. Manalapan has changed from a rural community to a suburbanized community. The regional differences in land use can further be interpolated by the presence and location of certain transportation corridors. An extensive study of land use in Manalapan Township was performed during 1989 by Townplan Associates. This study revealed that there are five (5) major categories of land use throughout the township. Bisecting the middle of the township is the Conrail Freight Line. This rail line separates the township into two distinct land use types. The northern half (top portion) of Manalapan is typified as a suburban residential use. Various residential subdivisions, inclusive of mostly single-family developments, predominate here. Residential development (uses) occupy 31% of all land use acreage in Manalapan (1989). The lower half of the township, south of the Conrail Freight Line, is distinctly a rural community. The majority of agricultural lands are located in the lower half of the township and occupy approximately 25% of the township's land area. Vacant or undeveloped parcels of land also predominate in the lower half of the township. Undeveloped land accounts for 15% of land cover or approximately 3,000 acres. Undeveloped land is defined, as per the Master Plan, as land under private ownership. Other land use categories include commercial, public land, quasi-public, and industrial. Commercial land use comprises both retail and office areas. These areas are concentrated along main corridors such as US Highway Routes 9 and 33. Three percent of Manalapan's land area is categorized as commercial. Public land is inclusive of parks, schools, utilities, roadways, and certain public buildings and associated land. Public land encompasses 16% of the total land area within Manalapan Township. Other quasi-public lands include cemeteries, private schools, institutions, houses of worship, and organizations. The last use is industrial properties which comprise only a very small percent of the township's land area. Definition of Open Space Areas To provide balance with the objectives, principles, and policies of the Master Plan for Manalapan Township, open space is defined as areas known and designated as State, County and Local parks, conservation easements, refuges, public land and certain quasi- public areas, recreational facilities, environmentally sensitive areas such as flood plains, wetlands, and acquifer recharge areas. Some of the Master Plan's principles are to identify certain natural features which represent environmental critical areas arid create conservation areas which can be regulated and managed. Other important objectives of the Master Plan include protecting areas of scenic, cultural and recreational values while promoting a "desirable" visual environment. The Conservation Plan Element of the Master Plan lists ten (10) natural resource designations. The plan emphasizes the preservation and conservation of these natural resources as well as their utilization. The Open Space Overlap Map (1993., EDG) provided, indicates areas listed within the Master Plan. These areas include the larger public parks, the state parks and reserves, preservation/reservation areas, and a public golf course. The overlay does not include every small pocket park nor lands associated with or occupied by the township's various schools. These latter areas, however, are considered important open space entities because they may be utilized for recreation and contribute to the overall acreage of open space. The major categories of open space are defined by the Master Plan as agriculture, fields, or woodlands and other public/private lands. The Land Use Overlay Map defines and labels all known park areas. The largest park, Monmouth Battlefield State Park, is located within the central eastern portion of the township and occupies approximately 1500 acres comprised of woodlands, farmland and successional fields. The developed areas of the park include the visitor center, parking lots, maintenance facilities, and internal roadways. The Wemrock Brook and Weamaconk Creek transect the park in an east to west direction. Both are tributaries of Matchaponix Brook. The relatively large acreage of Monmouth Battlefield State Park comprises 6.5% of the township's land area. The State park provides recreational and educational opportunities and promotes preservation and conservation of the environmentally sensitive areas and historic amenities. Other large areas of designated open space include Thompson Park and the Manalapan Recreation Center (both municipal owned properties). Additional parcels of township owned property are located throughout the area in smaller acreages. These areas include: small neighborhood parks, land dedicated for overland conveyance of surface waters or drainage ways, playground areas, the Village Green, and preserves. Other areas of undeveloped open space include areas dedicated as conservation easements which typically include freshwater wetlands, flood plains, and areas with steep slopes. Quasi-public areas such as the Quail Hill Boy Scout Reservation and the Knob Hill Golf Course, provide recreational opportunities and preservation of open space areas. Contiguous Open Space The township contains two (2) major streams, each with connecting tributaries. These two main streams are the Matchaponix Brook located in the northern half of the township and the Manalapan Brook occupying the lower half of the township. The Matchaponix Brook watershed contains the following tributaries: Pine Brook, Milford Brook, Tepehemus Brook, McGellaird's Brook, Weamaconk Brook, and Wemrock Brook. Two tributaries are associated with Manalapan Brook; they are Stillhouse Brook and Gander Brook. All of these brooks are defined as either freshwater wetlands, state open waters, flood plains, etc. and are contiguous areas of land which currently exist as undeveloped open space areas. These contiguous open space areas account for between 5 and 10 percent of the township's total land area. The "Open Space" Overlay delineates these areas of contiguous open space as closely following the limits of freshwater wetlands and open water lakes and ponds. The plan does not delineate all open space areas, yet it indicates land areas that could be acquired for greenbelts. Particularly within the southern portion of the township, the contiguous open space areas transect relatively large tracts of vacant, undeveloped, privately owned parcels. A large portion of these vacant parcels is currently farmland. The contiguous areas are important components of "open space". They function as valuable interconnected greenways and wildlife corridors. These greenways or natural linkage areas enhance protection of the natural resources, provide aesthetic and scenic vistas, promote environmental awareness, and diversify recreational opportunities. Other positive attributes of linking greenways and corridors, which also promote regional benefits, include stream and watershed protection and management, wildlife enhancement and conservation, as well as wetlands preservation. Matchaponix and Manalapan Brooks both flow to the northwest merging in Spotswood (Middlesex County) where the South River then begins. The headwaters of these brooks, however, are mostly concentrated within the Manalapan Township boundaries. Considering the fact that these surface waters do flow through both Monmouth and Middlesex Counties, the watersheds have regional connections. Various townships and communities are transected by these waterways whereby each township imposes positive and negative impacts based on its land use diversity. Along these "green belts" where acquisition could occur, a public need will be satisfied whereby emphasis on recreational and educational opportunities and ecological awareness could be encouraged. Future considerations for the interconnection or linkage of linear features such as foot or bike paths and interpretive trails, as well as informative displays, scenic posts, and historic landmarks or monuments can be erected All communities can be intergrated within Manalapan Township and expand to adjoining townships. An overall regional linkage can occur from forming these greenways. The regional connection is a vital goal because enhancement and protection of the natural resources and greenways will then be expanded to cover

  • Draft Impervious Cover Assessment for Spotswood Borough, Middlesex
    Draft Impervious Cover Assessment for Spotswood Borough, Middlesex County, New Jersey Prepared for Spotswood Borough by the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program February 2, 2015 Introduction Pervious and impervious are terms that are used to describe the ability or inability of water to flow through a surface. When rainfall hits a surface, it can soak into the surface or flow off the surface. Pervious surfaces are those which allow stormwater to readily soak into the soil and recharge groundwater. When rainfall drains from a surface, it is called "stormwater" runoff (Figure 1). An impervious surface can be any material that has been placed over soil that prevents water from soaking into the ground. Impervious surfaces include paved roadways, parking lots, sidewalks, and rooftops. As impervious areas increase, so does the volume of stormwater runoff. Figure 1: Stormwater draining from a parking lot New Jersey has many problems due to stormwater runoff, including: Pollution: According to the 2010 New Jersey Water Quality Assessment Report, 90% of the assessed waters in New Jersey are impaired, with urban-related stormwater runoff listed as the most probable source of impairment (USEPA, 2013). As stormwater flows over the ground, it picks up pollutants including animal waste, excess fertilizers, pesticides, and other toxic substances. These pollutants are then able to enter waterways. Flooding: Over the past decade, the state has seen an increase in flooding. Communities around the state have been affected by these floods. The amount of damage caused also has increased greatly with this trend, costing billions of dollars over this time span.

    64 Known Contaminated Sites The KCS-NJ report is a list of sites where contamination of soil and/or ground water is confirmed at levels greater than applicable cleanup criteria or environmental standards. The data included in the KCS-NJ report is as of April 1, 2005. The KCS- NJ report is produced by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Site Remediation and Waste Management Program (SRWM) in response to state law N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.16-17, which requires the SRWM to prepare a list of sites that have been contaminated by hazardous substances. The report also satisfies obligations under the New Jersey New Residential Construction Off-Site Conditions Disclosure Act (N.J.S.A 46:3C1 et seq.). Sites included in the KCS-NJ report can undergo a wide variety of remedial activities, ranging from relatively simple “cut and scrape” cleanups to highly complex cleanups. The sites with complex contamination issues can have several sources of contamination, which can affect both soil and groundwater at the same time. Several groups or remedial bureaus within the SRWM Program manage these cleanups. It is possible for more than one bureau to be involved at one site at the same time. A site being regulated under more than one statute or regulation often drives this scenario. However, this report lists only the main contact bureau for the site. The link available within this web site, entitled “What Contact Bureaus Do,” explains what types of sites each bureau manages and lists phone numbers for each bureau. For further information contact NJDEP’s Site Remediation Program and Waste Management (SRWM) lead program, which are identified with each site listed in this database.
