INTRODUCTION In 1983, Peter P. Karabashian Associates, Inc., prepared on behalf of the Hamilton Township Planning Board a Natural Resource Inventory (NRI) of Hamilton Township, Atlantic County, NJ. This NRI was prepared as an element of the Comprehensive Management Plan (Master Plan) of the Township. The findings of the NRI served to establish an informational base upon which the goals and objectives of the Master Plan and the Development Ordinance regulations were formulated. The NRI, Master Plan and Development Ordinance were prepared by the Township, submitted to the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, and certified by that body as being in compliance with the provisions of the Pinelands Commission Comprehensive Management Plan. Although the NRI was originally developed as part of the Township’s compliance effort, data was included on the area of the Township that does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Pinelands Commission. This “non-pinelands” area can generally be described as that portion of the Township located along the tidal portion of the Great Egg Harbor River below the Lake Lenape Dam. This non-pinelands area includes lands that are part of the Pinelands National Reserve (Federal Legislation) but are not designated as being in the Pinelands Protection Area (State Legislation) as well as an area of approximately 1,000 acres that has not been designated as a pinelands area under either State or Federal legislation. This 1994 update is being prepared and specifically targeted for that portion of the Township that lies within the Great Egg Harbor River Watershed. As shown on Map 1, entitled Great Egg Harbor River Watershed Area, a vast majority of Hamilton Township lies within the Great Egg Harbor Basin area, except for two relatively small areas of the Township that do not drain towards the Great Egg Harbor River. These areas, approximately 391 acres located along the northeast edge of the Township adjacent to Galloway Township, part of the Mullica River Watershed, and of approximately I,61 5 acres located at the eastern corner of the Township, in the Absecon Creek drainage area. Combined, these two areas encompass approximately 2,000 acres (2,006 rt acres) or less than 3% (2.75%) of the total area of the Township (73,600 acres). This report updates the 1983 NRI inventory through a review of new information received from State and Federal environmental agencies including: . New Jersey Pinelands Commission; . New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection & Energy (various divisions); . U. S. Geologic Survey: . U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service. This document was prepared with the aid of a grant of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection & Energy, Office of Environmental Services. NATURAL RESOURCF INVFNTORY OF THF GRFAT FGG HARROR RIVER WATERSW II. OBJECTIVE The objective of the Natural Resource Inventory (hereinafter referred to as NRI) is to present a comprehensive inventory and analysis of the natural resources found in that portion of Hamilton Township that lies with the watershed of the Great Egg Harbor River. The documentation of these natural resources js a critical component in formulation of national land use planning data, crucial to preparing a Master Plan and Land Use Ordinance which is consistent with the natural environment. Accordingly, the N.R.I. is a working document that identifies critical and environmentally sensitive habitat in the Township, thus making it possible to plan with nature, By developing such compatibility, the land use planning process addresses one of the key components of the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Plan, which is to: l Promote the conservation of valuable natural resources without the degradation of the environment through the improper use of land. These resources are the basis upon which the Hamilton Township Master Plan and Land Use Ordinance are formulated. Ill. DEFINITION The NRI for the Great Egg Harbor River Watershed area of Hamilton Township is the compilation of environmental information relating to the entire Township, and includes data for the following resources: topography and slopes; geology; soils, including prime agricultural soils; vegetation; surface and ground water resources; wildlife habitat; air quality and areas of scenic and recreational importance. IV. METHODOLOGY The information used in this NRI was obtained from the following sources: * The New Jersey Pinelands Commission; * NJDEPE Bureau of Air Monitoring; * Cape-Atlantic Soil Conservation District; 4 Federal Aviation Administration; * N.J.D.E.P.E. Bureau of Water Resources; * U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and * NJDEPE Office of Natural Lands Management; * Atlantic County Division of Parks; and * NJDEPE Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife. Calculations of land areas relating to vegetation, soils, etc. were originally made with a compensating planimeter. Accuracy checks made during the course of these measurements show the figures obtained through the use of the planimeter to be within plus or minus 5% range. The Soils and Vegetation Maps provided by the Pinelands Commission were originally color coded by Peter P. Karabashian Associates, Inc., in 1982 for use in the analysis and presentation of the original NRI of the Township. This color coding system was established to determine not only boundary lines for various types of vegetation and soils, but also for the identification of soil and vegetation types with common properties. In addition, the color coding of these maps facilitated the comparison of the wetlands/upland boundaries on the soils map against

  • Environmentally Sensitive Areas Guidance Document
    New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Release Prevention ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS GUIDANCE DOCUMENT Revised September 2014 Introduction This guidance on environmentally sensitive areas is intended for use as a reference and a guide when gathering information to be used in preparing the topographical maps for Discharge Prevention, Containment and Countermeasure (DPCC), and Discharge Cleanup and Removal (DCR) Plans. It gathers in one place all the citations listed in N.J.A.C. 7:1E-1.8, which establishes the definition of environmentally sensitive areas (ESA) for the purpose of developing the DPCC/DCR plan. The areas described in this document are by no means the only ESA in New Jersey, but represent those most likely to be adversely affected by a discharge of a hazardous substance. When used in conjunction with the requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:1E-4.10, Mapping criteria, it will prove useful in preparing the topographical maps and the offsite response measures that are required as part of the DCR plan. Additional information concerning the certification of ESA information is available in A Guide to the Preparation of Discharge Prevention, Containment and Countermeasure (DPCC) and Discharge Cleanup and Removal (DCR) Plans and Plan Renewals, available on the Bureau of Release Prevention website at http://www.nj.gov/dep/rpp/brp/dp/index.htm. N.J.A.C. 7:1E-4.2(b)9 requires that topographical maps be included in the DPCC plan, while N.J.A.C. 7:1E-4.10(d) requires that these maps cover all surrounding areas which could be affected by a discharge from the facility, including ESA.

Re: Gregory Norell Permit Application 315 Old River Road; Mays Landing, NJ Frank Cianfrani, Chief Regulatory Branch Department of the Army - Phila. District Wanarna.ker Building 100 Penn Square East Philadelphia, PA 19107-3390 Dear Mr. Cianfrani: We have received information from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. regarding an application to legalize and extend the dock located at 315 Old River Road in Mays Landing. The proposed structure would be approximately 165 feet channelward for the mooring of private boats in the Great Egg Harbor National Scenic and Recreational River. We have reviewed the above referenced permit pursuant to section 7(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, as amended (P.L. 90-542) which states "no department or agency of the United States shall assist by loan, grant, license, or otherwise in the construction of any water resources project that would have a direct and adverse effect on the values for which such river was established, as determined by the Secretary charged with its administration." National Park Service authority under Section 7(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act has been upheld in federal district court. In the case of the United States versus Kenneth Harris in 1992 a decision was rendered that upheld the removal of an illegal dock on the Little Miami River. In 1998 in Sierra Club, et al., versus United States, the federal district court clarified what constitutes a "water resources project" and also upheld the authority to review such projects under Section 7(a).

Wetlands of New Jersey. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Wetlands Inventory, Newton Comer, MA. 117 pp. Acknowledgements Many individuals and organizations have contributed to the successful completion ofthe wetlands inventory in New Jersey and to the preparation of this report. The Service's National Wetlands Inventory Group in St. Petersburg, Florida provided technical support for producing the wetland maps and for constructing the New Jersey wetland database. The U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, New York District (Passaic River Basin Study Group) and the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Coastal Resources (Coastal Planning and Development) contributed funds to complete mapping in northern New Jersey and to digitize wetland maps along the coast, respectively. The N.J.D.E.P. Office of Environmental Analysis provided space and equipment for conducting the photo interpretation phase of the inventory. Special attention and appreciation is given to Larry Vinzant who performed nearly all of the photo interpretation. His work serves as the foundation of this report. I also thank John Organ, my former assistant, for his help in providing quality control of interpreted photos and draft maps and in reviewing the draft of this report. The efforts of Bill Zinni in completing photo interpretation (Frankfort and Lumberville maps), preparing Figures 14 and 22, and reviewing parts of the draft manuscript are also appreciated.
