Taken by Bob Collins. - This Page Left Intentionally Blank - Executive Summary Kinnelon Borough is uniquely situated within the Farny and Waughaw Mountains, foothills that shape the paths of four major New Jersey watersheds - Pequannock River to the north, Rockaway River to the south, Pompton River to the east, and tributaries to Split Rock Reservoir in the west. Rich in natural resources and 97% within the Highlands preservation region, Kinnelon’s landscape is primarily wooded and characterized by rocky hills. The community is a vital steward for protecting New Jersey’s drinking water supply, with four reservoirs located partially or fully within the Borough. A steady population growth since the 1960s threatens to impact the rural character of the community. A total of 16% (1,948 acres) of Kinnelon’s landscape has been preserved thus far. The open space planning process found that residents and local officials are most concerned about protecting scenic vistas and drinking water supply resources. These goals for an open space program in Kinnelon were determined in the fall 2004 through comments by residents at a public hearing and a mailed survey to every Kinnelon household. An open space preservation program can help Kinnelon retain its scenic, rural legacy. In November 2002, residents of Kinnelon supported the establishment of a local open space trust to preserve land in their town. Established at one-half cent per $100 of assessed property value, the trust was used to preserve a 34-acre addition to Pyramid Mountain county and state parklands. Trust funds can be used for the acquisition of property, development of lands acquired for recreation and conservation; preservation of historic sites and structures; and payment of debt service on indebtedness incurred by the preceding focuses. The survey found that residents support an increase of the tax up to two cents and the Borough Council responded by increasing the tax to one and one-half cents in March 2005. Public participation through the planning process demonstrated that Kinnelon residents are interested in outdoor recreation and in land preservation in their community. Many residents support the establishment of safe pathways for walking and bicycling. Such pathways can provide opportunities for residents to enjoy their parks as well as link neighborhoods and recreation facilities within the Borough. Residents identify the rural character of the community as one of the most important features for living in their town. Residents also want to protect ground and surface water resources for drinking and recreation. Preserving forest cover, ridgelines, and natural, open areas will serve to protect Kinnelon’s water resources, retain rural character and to safeguard the scenic vistas that define the community. To achieve these goals, the Plan suggests five preservation areas in the Borough: • Pequannock River Greenway – follows the Pequannock River from the Charlottesburg Reservoir and the associated tributaries to the Pequannock; • Stone House Brook Greenway – follows Stone House Brook and encompassing Lake Kinnelon and the Butler Reservoir; • Waughaw-Towaco Greenway – follows the Waughaw Mountains; • Rockaway River Greenway – follows the tributaries in Kinnelon that flow to the Rockaway and encompassing the Taylortown Reservoir; and • Split Rock Ridge – protects and overlooks the Split Rock Reservoir. The Plan also identifies possible preservation partners, most commonly used techniques in preserving land, and potential sources of funding for open space and recreation. The open space preservation program, guided by the Open Space and Recreation Plan, will prove to be a valuable tool to shape the future growth and maintain the rural integrity of the community of Kinnelon. - This Page Left Intentionally Blank - Kinnelon Borough Open Space & Recreation Plan - March 2005 2 Community Resources in the Borough of Kinnelon Rising majestically from the Farny and Waughaw Mountains, Kinnelon Borough is uniquely situated at the apex for waterways that flow in all four directions: north to the Pequannock River, south to the Rockaway River, east to the Pompton River, and west to Split Rock Reservoir. The hills and forests of Kinnelon are integral to the high quality of drinking water for both local and regional communities. Buck Mountain and Pyramid Mountain Natural Historic Area are wild areas home to unique geological features and habitat to a myriad of plants and wildlife. From boating on one of Kinnelon’s many lakes to playing baseball at the local playing fields, residents enjoy country living within an hour drive of New York City. The Borough of Kinnelon is located in the northeastern section of Morris County, New Jersey. The Pequannock River separates the Borough to the north from West Milford Township in Passaic County. From this northern point the Borough is then bordered by Butler and Riverdale Boroughs, Pequannock Township, and Lincoln Park Borough. Kinnelon is bordered to the south by Boonton and Montville Townships and Rockaway Township to the west. The natural, historic, recreation resources, along with local educational and community services, provide the basis for creating a system of preserved open space. A planned system of open space preservation can protect these community resources and enhance the quality of life for Kinnelon residents. Natural Resources “Kinnelon is rich in a wide variety of beautiful woods, swamps, and mountains. Much of its rugged terrain is rarely visited by man. Without a doubt, it is a paradise of beauty and animal life for those who love and respect nature” -Kinnelon: A History, 1976- A community’s natural resources provide for our drinking water, soils for a rich forest cover, spectacular scenic vistas, and critical habitat for wildlife, including threatened and endangered plant and animal species. Open space maintains the integrity, quality, and function of these natural systems upon which the community relies. Geology and Topography “These (Ramapo) Mountains, which once shaped the destiny of colonial independence, and today are prized for their beauty and serenity, are a curious mixture of the most ancient and recent rocks in the world.” -Kinnelon: A History, 1976- The majority of Kinnelon Borough is located within the New Jersey Highlands physiographic province, which is part of the Reading Prong of the New England physiographic province. The Highlands Province occupies an area of approximately 980 square miles in New Jersey, about one-eighth of the state.

  • Pompton River at Pompton Plains, Nj
    98 PASSAIC RIVER BASIN 01388500 POMPTON RIVER AT POMPTON PLAINS, NJ LOCATION.--Lat 40°58'09", long 74°16'55", Passaic County, Hydrologic Unit 02030103, on left bank just upstream of the Passaic Valley Water Commission pumping station, 800 ft below confluence of Pequannock and Ramapo Rivers, 140 ft upstream from bridge on Jackson Avenue (Pompton Plains Cross Road), and 0.7 mi east of Pompton Plains. DRAINAGE AREA.--355 mi2. PERIOD OF RECORD.--March 1903 to December 1904, May 1940 to current year. Monthly discharge only for some periods, published in WSP 1302. REVISED RECORDS.--WSP 1202: 1945(M). GAGE.--Water-stage recorder, crest-stage gage, and concrete control. Datum of gage is 160.00 ft above NGVD of 1929. March 1903 to December 1904, nonrecording gage on main spillway of dam 2,000 ft upstream at different datum. May 1940 to September 1964 two water-stage recorders, each above a concrete dam about 2,000 ft upstream at datum 14.46 ft higher. REMARKS.--Records good, except for discharges over 2,000 ft3/s and estimated daily values which are fair. Water diverted from reservoirs on Pequannock and Wanaque Rivers, from Pompton River to Point View Reservoir, and from Ramapo River to Wanaque Reservoir and Oradell Reservoir (from February 1985) for municipal supply (see Hackensack River basin, diversions into and from, and Passaic River basin, diversions). Discharges for water years 1965- 68 have been adjusted in USGS databases in water year 2004 to reflect only flow over weir only. Previously published discharges for water years 1965-68 included flow over the weir, plus pumpage to, or minus releases from Point View Reservoir through Passaic Valley Water Commission's Jackson Avenue Pumping Station.

  • Riverwork Action Plan Revised June 2014 PLFAB Action Plan June 2014 Page 2 of 8
    Pompton Lakes Flood Advisory Board Riverwork Action Plan Revised June 2014 PLFAB Action Plan June 2014 Page 2 of 8 In August of 2010, The Pompton Lakes Flood Advisory Board (FAB)began monitoring the conditions of the Pequannock, Ramapo, and Wanaque Rivers. The board members, our council liaison, and other resident volunteers walked or boated the length of each river, within the borders of Pompton Lakes, and recorded all visible hazards. For the purpose of this assessment, a river hazard is any visible obstruction of the channel, any visible shoal, and areas of river bank erosion. Field work has been conducted on a bi-annual basis, and results have been compiled and analyzed to produce a series of River Hazard Assessment Maps and Riverwork Priority Maps. These maps, in turn, have been used to generate a River Work Action Plan, which was originally submitted to the Pompton Lakes Mayor and Borough Council in July of 2013. Following the completion of the April 2014 river assessment field work, the FAB complied the following update to the Riverwork Action Plan. A total of 212 photographs of areas and items of concern were taken during the 2014 field work. All photos are available from either the FAB or the Borough Clerk’s office. Thanks to the continued river maintenance efforts by the borough of Pompton Lakes, we have seen a drop in the normal water levels of two of our three rivers. This update to the Riverwork Action Plan reflects the successful completion of the top priority projects listed in the original document.
