Roxbury Recreation: Stewardship Memo - December 11, 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Township of Roxbury is a resource rich community, both in its people and its environment. While geographically large (21.9 square miles), the community is close- knit with an active citizenry. Historically the area was well known for its rich iron ore resources and the pristine waters of Lake Hopatcong and Lake Musconetcong. While mining activities no longer continue, the area is still rich in natural resources – deep, contiguous forests, Category One waters, clean drinking water supplies, and two large lakes for swimming and public enjoyment. The Township also places a heavy emphasis on the maintenance of its high-quality recreation facilities and programs. The municipality has actively acquired new lands for their expanding park system, for both active and passive recreation, resulting in an excellent recreation program for people of all ages and abilities. Roxbury Township is also heavily influenced by local commerce and its transportation networks. Interstate Route 80, Route 46 and Route 10 bisect the Township. These major transportation routes ensure that the Township’s location and ease of access remain attractive to both residential and commercial development. Balancing this growth, the Township has worked diligently since the completion of its 1999 Open Space and Recreation Plan to preserve recreational lands and watershed lands to serve its growing population. The residents of Roxbury Township are supportive of open space preservation. In 1993 the Township voters supported a ballot referendum to establish an Open Space Trust Fund. The referendum passed with over two thirds of Roxbury voters in support of establishing a local trust fund at two cents per one hundred dollars of assessed value. Collection of the levy began in January of 1994. In 1999 the Township drafted and adopted its first Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP). The 1999 OSRP reported a total of 3,042 acres considered as protected park or watershed land. Since the completion of the Township’s 1999 OSRP, the Township and its partners have protected an additional 608.5 acres. Since the inception of the Township’s Open Space Trust Fund in 1994, a total of 980.66 acres have been preserved by the municipality. The Township has also been successful at obtaining matching funds for its acquisition program. The Township and its partners have received $16,368,162 in grants from State and County funding programs for open space preservation in the Township. Recreation facilities continue to be expanded and older structures renovated. Issues remain to be resolved over how to keep the playing fields in prime working condition due to the wear and tear of heavy use and needs of multiple sports with overlapping seasons. Township of Roxbury Open Space and Recreation Plan Update 1 The Township’s Open Space Advisory Acquisition Committee seeks to expand upon their preservation successes and provide new direction to the open space program. This Update provides the residents of Roxbury Township with documentation of the program to date and provides a clear action plan to move forward into the future. As part of the 2010 Update, the Township hosted a public meeting in July 2010. This meeting was held during the Township Planning Board’s regular meeting schedule. Residents and members of the Township’s various boards were invited to provide valuable input and help determine priorities for municipal open space acquisition and recreation development. Based on the Township’s 2005 Reexamination Report, the Township Council of Roxbury, public input, and the recommendations of the Open Space Advisory Committee, the goals and objectives of the 1999 OSRP were re-affirmed and given greater depth. The Roxbury Township 2010 Open Space and Recreation Plan Update proposes the implementation of a comprehensive open space program that addresses the natural, recreational, and historical preservation needs expressed by Township residents. It identifies priority lands where preservation efforts should be focused. These were identified using computerized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) maps that incorporate data regarding ecologically sensitive plants, historic flooding, and water recharge areas. A timeline with one, three, and five-year goals is offered to guide the Township’s preservation efforts. The Plan also lists potential preservation partners and funding mechanisms that will assist the Township realize its open space goals. Township of Roxbury Open Space and Recreation Plan Update 2 GOALS OF THE OPEN SPACE PROGRAM The Open Space Program in Roxbury Township Preservation of open space must be planned just as any municipal infrastructure. The development of an Open Space and Recreation Plan, and the Township’s governing body’s commitment to implement the Plan, are essential in maintaining a community’s character, and to preserving and improving the quality of life for its residents. Vision Statement Our vision of Roxbury Township is one of a vibrant community that achieves a balance between economic growth and preservation of important resources. While we see a community with quality residential, commercial and retail development, we also see a community of: preserved open spaces, used for active and passive recreation, which are well-stewarded for the future; preserved ecological resources, including sensitive waterways, wetlands and animal habitats; and preserved cultural and historical resources, denoting a respect for our rich Township history and cultural assets. Goals of the Open Space Program The Goals Section of the Open Space and Recreation Plan Update acts as a guide for Roxbury Township’s open space program. The Township has focused on the protection of its water resources, expanding opportunities for both active recreation

    Musconetcong River National Wild and Scenic Rivers Study River Management Plan Prepared by: Musconetcong River Management Council Musconetcong Watershed Association Heritage Conservancy National Park Service June 2011 Update The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute their endorsement by the U.S. Government. Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic River Management Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This management plan proposes a strategy for managing the Musconetcong River and its many outstanding resource values. It was prepared as part of a study to evaluate the Musconetcong River for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The Musconetcong River drains a 157.6 square mile watershed area in northern New Jersey, and as a major tributary to the Delaware River, is part of the 12,755 square mile Delaware River watershed. The Musconetcong River is a boundary water for its entire length, first dividing Morris and Sussex counties, then Hunterdon and Warren counties. All or portions of 26 municipalities lie within the natural boundaries of the Musconetcong watershed. Fourteen municipalities fall within the river segments eligible for National Wild and Scenic Rivers designation. The impetus for the Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic Rivers study can be traced back to 1991, when petitions were circulated calling for the protection of the Musconetcong River under both the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System and New Jersey Wild and Scenic Rivers program. In 1992, Congress passed legislation authorizing the National Park Service to study the eligibility and potential suitability of the Lower Delaware River for addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

In addition to the river itself, the two major waterbodies located in the Upper Musconetcong River watershed are Lake Hopatcong and, immediately downstream, Lake Musconetcong. Both lakes have been recognized by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as being impaired for excessive in- lake total phosphorus (TP) concentrations originating from high phosphorus loads. These high TP loads result in a variety of water quality impacts such as algal blooms and nuisance densities of aquatic vegetation, and can eventually contribute to more large- scale impacts such as fish kills. In response to this impairment, NJDEP conducted phosphorus TMDL analyses on both Lake Hopatcong and Lake Musconetcong. These analyses were completed in 2003. However, it was recognized that some of the data used to quantify the sources of phosphorus for either lake was relatively old (> 20 years).

It flows 42.5 miles in a general southwest direction. The Musconetcong River, nestled in the heart of the New Jersey Highlands region, features a remarkably diverse array of natural and cultural resources. The limestone geologic features present in the Musconetcong River corridor are unique in the state, and the steep slopes and forested ridges in the upper segments of the river corridor contrast with the historic villages, pastures, and rolling agricultural lands at the middle and lower end of the river valley. For its entire length the Musconetcong River is a boundary water, first dividing Morris and Sussex counties, then Hunterdon and Warren Counties. All or portions of 25 municipalities lie within the natural boundaries of the Musconetcong River watershed.

This example was restored to view in 1972 after 48 years of burial in-place. The reaction or "Scotch" turbine had as its antecedent the steam reaction wheel invented in Greek Alexandria by Hero around 100 B.C. Its hydraulic application on a practical basis in the United States began early in the 19th century. After mid-century, French-inspired turbine design pushed these machines into obsolescence.
