  • Stop Environmental Racism, Pass S232/A2212 - July 30, 2020
    Stop Environmental Racism, Pass S232/A2212 - July 30, 2020 Thursday July 23, 2020 Dear Members of the NJ State Assembly, It is long known that communities of color and low-income neighborhoods often bear the greatest burden of pollution and COVID has only exacerbated the problem. This impacts our physical and economic health, quality of life, and ability to thrive, learn, and work. Unfortunately, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) currently does not have a policy in place directing it to review pollution permit applications based on the cumulative impacts of toxic emissions from polluting facilities in a neighborhood. That’s why it’s so important that a strong cumulative impacts bill (S232/A2212, Singleton-Weinberg- ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ruiz+2/McKeon-Vainieri Huttle-Timberlake+17) passes the full Assembly on July 30th. This bill has already passed ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ the full Senate and the Assembly Environment Committee, and has the strong support of Governor Murphy, Senator ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Booker, the NJ Urban Mayors Association, Lt. Governor Oliver, and DEP Commissioner McCabe. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The bill is on 2nd reading and gives DEP the authority under reasonable circumstances to reduce cumulative disproportionate pollution impacts in environmental justice communities. It is a needed first step in correcting a legacy of environmental racism and injustice by expanding the rights of residents to weigh in on decisions, reducing disproportionate pollution burdens, promoting clean businesses over toxic industries, and making New Jersey a leader in the fight for environmental justice. For more information on the bill, see the attached FAQ. ​ ​ This bill is long overdue. We urge you to do everything in your power, not just voting for but speaking up, to ensure ​ ​ ​ this bill, that not only stops future environmental injustice but also begins to reduce existing disproportionate and ​ unfair pollution burdens, gets on the Governor’s desk by July 30th.

  • Somerset County/Sustainable Jersey Green Leadership Initiative Non-Profit Partner Initiatives and Opportunities
    `` Somerset County/Sustainable Jersey Green Leadership Initiative Non-profit Partner Initiatives and Opportunities BACKGROUND & INSTRUCTIONS: The Somerset County Planning Division supports municipal efforts to achieve Sustainable Jersey Certification goals. It also recognizes the numerous initiatives underway by its partner organizations, specifically nonprofit entities that are working through and developing sustainability programs at the ground level. Earning certification through the Sustainable Jersey is a very difficult, but rewarding and impactful process. Municipalities must earn at least 150 points to be certified at the Bronze level. It is the County’s goal to assist its municipalities in obtaining these points by highlighting areas where the County and its partners can offer assistance through existing programs and initiatives. This process will help municipalities reach its goal quickly and in a more cost-effective manner, while advancing countywide quality of life and sustainability goals. To date, 18 of our 21 Somerset County municipalities are registered in the Sustainable Jersey Program; with 9 achieving bronze level certification and 1 (Bernards Township) achieving silver level. Below is a menu of Actions for Certification, available to municipalities through the Sustainable Jersey Program. Sustainable Jersey Actions are denoted as in the below menu, and corresponding existing/underway Nonprofit Action Items are listed below each heading. County Planning Division Staff has added Action Items in certain areas as examples, but are relying on your help to identify the remaining Action Items underway by your organization. Please review the existing Action Items relevant to your organization and verify that they are correct. Please add your organization’s initiatives and programs that are currently underway and align with Sustainable Jersey’s Actions.

    1 | Page FOREWARD The following report and survey of deer population densities in New Jersey was commissioned by the New Jersey Farm Bureau as part of an overall initiative concerning deer over-population. Simple visual observations and anecdotal accounts from farmers across the state point to surplus deer at levels creating unacceptable impacts to residents, landowners and businesses in the state. Farm Bureau’s renewed efforts in this policy area surfaced in early 2018 with a ten-point questionnaire among its farmer members and a re-examination of the extensive studies by N.J. Agricultural Experiment Station at Rutgers University on deer over-population during 1998-2005. Questions arose about the actual number of deer throughout the state, whether deer numbers were uniform or concentrated in certain areas, and how the game code administrators evaluated the deer herd size. Drone (UAV-unmanned aerial vehicles) technology is gradually working its way into a variety of agricultural management practices in recent years. One application is mounting an infrared camera to the drone for the purpose of identifying livestock and wildlife from low altitudes in the sky. This is a significant improvement in video quality and cost savings from helicopter-based deer counting that was employed by Rutgers AES in the late 1990’s. The first drone-based deer count sponsored by Farm Bureau was conducted by the Drone Academy on Dave Bond’s farm near Ringoes in August 2018. That was followed by the same type of survey at the NJAES Snyder Research Farm in Pittstown (September) and the Stewart Farm in North Hanover (October).

Lathrop Sara J. Malone Elizabeth Pyshnik Dr. Jennifer Whytlaw About the Sustainable Raritan River Initiative Rutgers University launched the Sustainable Raritan River Initiative (SRRI) in 2009 to convene scientists, engineers, business and community leaders, environmental advocates and governmental entities to craft an agenda for the restoration and preservation of New Jersey’s Raritan River, its tributaries and bay. A joint program of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, the SRRI partners with other Rutgers units (through the Rutgers Raritan River Consortium) and with stakeholders from across the Raritan region to ensure multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives and contributions. Participants share a commitment to science-informed policies for sustaining the ecological, economic and community assets attributable to the Raritan. The SRRI fosters university-based research and scholarship that is focused on the Raritan. This knowledge is then translated into practical educational programming and technical assistance to support regional planning, policy and business decision-making. We conduct conferences and topical workshops, provide technical assistance, and develop anchor projects that raise the profile of the Raritan River. The SRRI and our watershed partners recognize the importance of a regional approach to resolving the complex issues associated with the restoration and future protection of the Raritan River, its estuary and all its tributaries.
