MINUTES The December 2019 minutes were approved. A copy of the approved minutes is available on the GBFCC website. CORRESPONDENCE-The only correspondence is a letter from Bridgewater Township notifying the commission of the new appointees for 2020. Mr. Murray requests that if your municipality has new appointees for the commission if you can please send us the updated information, specifically email addresses. The GBFCC maintains a correspondence file that is available for inspection as may be necessary and upon request. TREASURER’S REPORT Mr. Crosby reported the budget for 2020 is essentially flat. Bills were sent out to request payment. To date, Somerset County, Green Brook, North Plainfield & South Plainfield have paid. Bills presented this month were reviewed and found to be in order. A motion was made to approve payment of the bills. Motion carried. Financial statement was distributed. One side is 2019 & the reverse side is for 2020. Reports: ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS – Alek Peterson, Project Manager Mr. Peterson gives an overview: ● Segment M, O, S are Upper Basin; Segment L is Stony Brook; everything else is Lower Basin. ● Completed construction in Borough of Bound Brook -Segments U, R, T- and fixed any damage to Segment T that was done by Hurricane Irene. (2015-2016) ● Currently working in the Borough of Middlesex (Segments C, H, B, D). ○ Completed Segment B-1. Consisting of floodwall, levee and pump station in the Sebrings Mill Road area. ○ Completed B-2. Consisting of a 500-foot floodwall. ○ Completed Segment B-3. Consisting of a floodwall and pump station there with a platform behind Municipal building in Middlesex. Waiting for a future contract to install the generator and pumps due to warranty on parts. ○ B-4 is scheduled for future years and B-5 is not built yet. ○ The construction contractor, Carbro Construction, is currently finishing up with floodwall contact near South Lincoln Avenue, along Capp Lane. ○ Awarded base contract to Carbro Construction for Segment C-1 on Sept 30, 2019 consisting of about 900-feet of floodwall, behind Lee Drive. ○ There are options to this contract consisting of a small floodwall, a levee, a pump station and a culvert under the NJ Transit railroad tracks. Need more real estate and the permits from NJ Transit and Verizon line that needs to be moved before the options can be awarded. Probably not awarding this until FY2021. ○ Next up is construction of two closure gates on both sides of South Lincoln Ave on the Bound Brook. A couple of monoliths to hold the Northern closure gate and floodwall. ○ Right now, trying to figure out, based on available funding and real estate, what can be awarded and what can’t be awarded so we know what contract actions would continue this year. ○ We are trying to move the Verizon line so we can get work started. ○ If we have carry over funds, and additional funding from this year, and additional funding in FY2021 we would finish any construction here with the C-1 options. ○ Due to the need to avoid induced flooding and our hydraulic models, some parts of the project are designed to be constructed in tandem so we are breaking it out to see what can be awarded. ○ Some real estate acquisitions need to be made. ○ C-2; Contract 3 - on the northside which would continue on the other side where C-2 leaves off. ○ Then a piece on the south, which is the second H contract. ○ Then a floodwall and levee for C-3 & C-4 respectively. ○ Looking to award the design this year to design a levee along Bound Brook. ○ C-6, C-7 & D consisting of levees with two pump stations. ○ Doing investigative work taking HGRW borings for environmental samplings to make sure no property needs to be remediated. ○ Right now they are about to begin geotechnical borings to ensure the stability of soil & rock underneath can support the structures they are designing, particularly for the pump stations. ○ Everything is done in tandem because there are alot of related issues - avoiding induced flooding, getting funding every year, acquiring real estate, going for environmental permits, etc. It all needs to be phased so we try to design in advance to identify early the areas that will be impacted by the project and what will be needed. ○ Right now, we are trying to figure out what will happen this year and in FY2021 and reworking that. Some of you may have questions about the Upper Basin - Segment M, O, S. Significant challenges to building these. Our validation report found that these are not economically justified. The next step will be to receive funding and request a General Reevaluation Report (GRR) to look at unauthorized alternatives now that we know these would be difficult to implement. The current validation report is with our own headquarters. Waiting for it to be signed. Hopefully coming soon and we receive permission and funding to move forward. We are also potentially looking at reworking some of the Stony Brook area to try to see if it can be improved as well. Mr. Murray: At the project meeting last month, I hope the Corps got the point that the Commission would not be thrilled if any of the segments were left out of the final product. Specifically, there was a lot of talk about the Stony Brook and how it stands on its own. We don’t want to see, with all the validation studies and new GRRs, that anything gets left undone. Taking the stance that specifically you work in very concentrated areas like Bound Brook, you have significant costs but you get significant benefits as you protect a large number of homes and residents. When working in more rural areas and you are not protecting as much valuable terrain, the benefit would naturally be lower. The project is designed in that we take care of Bound Brook first. We are not thrilled with the idea that we keep looking at the remaining benefit cost. Naturally, as you are spending a lot of money and saving a lot of property and lives in Bound Brook, you are going to have diminishing returns as you work upstream. It doesn’t seem fair to always be re-looking at the expense portion of this after lopping off the areas where there are large benefits. I expect you will receive, in the next month or so, some communication from the Commission to solidify that point. We are not thrilled about taking a re-look at these portions if the expectation is to drop them from the final product. This was authorized as a project from Bound Brook all the way up to Berkeley Heights and down to Scotch Plains and Plainfield and the Commission wants to see it through. We understand that due to costs considerations you may be asked to look at these things anew, but you can’t take the areas where you received the most benefit out of the equation and just look at what is left. Naturally, there is less of a return on what is left. We’ll be crafting something to be sent to you as well as something to be sent to the congressional delegation. Want to make sure everyone is on board with the situation that we want the whole project built. We understand the difficulties in the Upper Basin, and we may have to look at alternatives and there may be areas where we can’t give the same protection that was originally anticipated, but there is no portion of this project that we don’t think is important enough to be excluded going forward. Mr. Peterson: I agree with that. I will work to take your comments and try to have them with maximum dissemination to achieve the greatest impact and see what we can do. QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS: Mr. Ververides: The recent catastrophic fire in Bound Brook. Did that have any impact on any of the Green Brook facility projects? Mr. Peterson: It did not. I believe it destroyed two buildings under construction and some buildings across the street. We had done some work under the street in that vicinity with Pipeworks, but the actual projects in that area are all behind the Raritan Valley Line tracks and were not affected by that. Mr. Bassman: What is our messaging going to be with this going to a GRR? The reason why I ask is that we have had a very active group in our County working on the Rahway river, which goes up into Essex County. When that was killed by USACE, they reacted with a lot of high dudgeon in the local newspapers. It was in there often. The County Freeholder Chairman was being very forceful on it. What are we doing with this when we are hit with this report? I don’t know who gets it or how it gets out.

Green Brook Flood Control Project: Saving Bound Brook Abstract Bound Brook, New Jersey sits between Middle Brook, Green Brook and a bend on the Raritan River in the Triassic Basin of New Jersey. Like many cities and towns all over the world, it was originally situated on the river to take advantage of fresh water for drinking, transportation and trade. As transportation networks have become centered around motor vehicles, the importance of river transportation and trade has become less important. However, communities continue to live within flood zones begging the questions: Why do towns continue to thrive on the river’s edge? Are river towns viable? Should they be encouraged and saved through the use of taxpayer dollars? Faced with these questions, the communities in the area surrounding Bound Brook spent many years convincing the national, regional and local authorities that saving Bound Brook was important and cost effective. The Army Corps of Engineers embarked on the Green Brook Flood Control Project, one of the most comprehensive and ambitious projects undertaken anywhere. The solution involved residential buyouts, wetlands mitigation, bridge reconstruction, railroad realignment, installation of large pumping stations, upgrading regional storm- water collection, flood-proofing, channel modifications, and vle ee and flood wall construction.

  • New Jersey's Washington Rocks
    From Robert A. Mayers’s new book, “Revolutionary New Jersey: Forgotten Towns and Crossroads of the New Jersey’s American Revolution” Washington Rocks by Robert A. Mayers Finding the Eagle’s Perch | Robert A. Mayers | www.GardenStateLegacy.com Issue 40 June 2018 t is difficult today to imagine the significance that the Watchung Mountains held during the Revolutionary War. IWashington Rock, located in present-day Green Brook Township, is the location of the best known of several Revolutionary War observation posts that may be found on the crest of the first ridge of the Watchung Mountains. Historians and local residents claim that General George Washington used all of these sites to scan the countryside and observe the movements of British troops on the plains of central New Jersey, Staten Island and New York City. I first selected Washington Rock as a critical site of the Revolutionary War that has been neglected in the history of the Garden State. However, while today it is typically acknowledged as being the only lookout, my research has recently revealed that it was one of several places along the first ridge of the Watchung Mountains used by General Washington during the One of the war as an observation post. The first ridge provides a 60-mile panoramic view of central New Jersey, stretching from Newark to Trenton. Troop most movements in the British-occupied areas around New Brunswick, Perth Amboy, Elizabeth, Staten Island and New York important Harbor could be closely watched from its several vantage points. These lookouts, at an elevation of between 400 and 500 feet above the central plains of New Jersey, provided the places had American Army with a unique sight advantage.
