Passaic County is a diverse and dynamic place in which there lies potential for success in many ways. One of these ways is to protect open space in conjunction with growth management. Passaic County is located in northern New Jersey within the New York-New Jersey metropolitan region. The county borders New York State on the north and is surrounded by Sussex, Morris, Essex, and Bergen Counties. Passaic County is 193.81 square miles in size, making it the fourth smallest of New Jersey’s 21 counties. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census 2000 the population of Passaic County was 489,049. Moreover, the cities of Clifton, Passaic, and Paterson contain 295,755 people or about 60.5 percent of the county’s total population. The County is shaped like a bent hourglass with the area above the neck running generally northsouth and the portion below running east-west. Large lakes and watershed areas, stunning topography, and very low-density development characterize the upper half of the county. The lower half of the county contains more than 85 percent of the population in about one-third of the area. Passaic County is divided into 16 municipalities. The largest is the Township of West Milford, located at the northern tip of the county with an area of 80+ square miles. The Borough of Prospect Park is the smallest municipality with an area of 0.48 square miles. The highest point in the county is Bearfort Mountain in West Milford with an elevation of 1,484 feet, and the County’s tidal lands along the Passaic River in Passaic and Clifton are at the lowest elevation. An important component of Passaic County is that the upper portion is located in either the Highlands Preservation Area or Planning Area. This has implications in terms of no new development in the preservation area. In addition, there is a sense of urgency to protect the remaining open space from new development in the planning area. To ensure that these exceptional natural and cultural resources and open spaces are forever protected and maintained, a referendum was proposed to create a stable source of funding dedicated to acquire land and improve recreation. In November of 1996, an Open Space and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund was passed by the voters of Passaic County to provide funds to restore and enhance the Passaic County Parks System, protect farmland, and preserve open space for environmental and recreation purposes. This dedicated open space tax is expended by the Board of Chosen Freeholders and overseen by an Advisory Committee that provides guidance and recommendations on the Trust Fund’s use. To understand Passaic County’s existing conditions and needs, and to provide guidance on how this Trust Fund should be spent, the Board of Chosen Freeholders elected to produce an Open Space Master Plan. This Open Space Master Plan was produced in 2001 through a collaborative effort of the Passaic County Planning Board and the Passaic County Open Space Advisory Committee with two consultants, Passaic River Coalition and E. Timothy Marshall Associates. P:\PROJECTS\Open_Space_Master_Plan\BriefingBooks\BriefingBook_Materials\Briefing Book.doc 1 Passaic County Open Space and Recreation Master Plan Update --- Municipal Briefing Book Passaic County was able to maintain and update the Open Space Master Plan because of its resource in the Passaic County Land Preservation Trust Fund. In addition, the importance of this Master Plan was to make sure that there is a proper inventory of existing open space, so that the County may step forward with goals for new acquisitions. The produce of 2001 Open Space Master Plan allowed the proper allocation of the Trust Fund contributions. This Master Plan Update Briefing book is a continuing effort to stay up to date with Passaic County Open Space inventory and to ensure the proper allocation of the Open Space and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund. It is important that the County and each of its municipalities work together to maintain the environmental integrity and the quality of life in Passaic County. P:\PROJECTS\Open_Space_Master_Plan\BriefingBooks\BriefingBook_Materials\Briefing Book.doc 2 Passaic County Open Space and Recreation Master Plan Update --- Municipal Briefing Book Description Existing of Goals & Objectives 1. The County of Passaic will utilize the Open Space and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund to acquire open space to protect critical environmental resources to ensure a safe and healthy environment for the citizens of Passaic County. In the upper county Highlands region of Passaic County, there are steep slopes, thin soils, trout production streams, and large tracts of forest containing many sensitive and fragile ecosystems. In the more developed areas of Passaic County, both urban and suburban, there remain areas with streams, wetlands and woodlands that provide habitat and water quality functions. 2. The County of Passaic will provide leadership and work cooperatively with the agencies of the federal government (Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish & Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, US Park Service), the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres Program, the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, the municipalities of Passaic County, and charitable nonprofit agencies to acquire open space in Passaic County for conservation and recreation. 3. The County of Passaic will provide leadership and work cooperatively with the agencies of the federal government (Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish & Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, US Park Service), the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres Program, the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, the municipalities of Passaic County, and charitable nonprofit agencies to manage open space in Passaic County for conservation and recreation. 4. The County of Passaic will utilize the Open Space and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund to assist in the preservation of cultural, historical and archaeological lands in Passaic County. Within Passaic County there are a substantial number of resources that have played a significant role in the development of the State of New Jersey and Passaic County. The preservation and restoration of these resources are eligible for funding from the Trust Fund. 5. The County of Passaic will provide funding to local governments and nonprofit conservancies for open space acquisition through a grant-making program to provide equal access to the Trust Fund for the benefit of all county residents. Grant making will allow the county to build partnerships to increase or leverage the Trust Funds available for acquisition and provide for the specific needs of each municipality. The County will also provide funds in a grant-making program to municipalities for the development of active recreational facilities. 6. The Trust Fund supports the use of funding for acquisition to implement greenway and pedestrian/bike pathway plans to protect open space and provide new recreation. The identification and planning for the protection and preservation of regional landscapes that provide significant natural resource protection and recreation values are a high priority of the master plan. Creating new connections and linkages between existing open space and developing collaborative public-private partnerships to implement such plans is encouraged. P:\PROJECTS\Open_Space_Master_Plan\BriefingBooks\BriefingBook_Materials\Briefing Book.doc 3 Passaic County Open Space and Recreation Master Plan Update --- Municipal Briefing Book 7. The protection of water resources in Passaic County is essential to maintain public health and public safety. The preservation of the Passaic County landscape is essential to maintaining adequate surface water and ground water supplies for safe drinking water in Passaic County and northeastern New Jersey. The preservation of floodplains and wetlands for flood management is recommended. 8. The Trust Fund will be utilized to provide funds for land acquisition and capital improvements to the Passaic County Park System to upgrade and rehabilitate recreational facilities, and restore environmental systems. Within the developed parks, funds will be utilized to meet the needs of the public’s recreational needs and demand, and to ensure that existing facilities are properly maintained. Funds can be utilized to provide new recreation in the underdeveloped open space parklands located in Upper Passaic County. 9. The Passaic County Open Space and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund will provide funds to preserve agriculture in Passaic County as identified by the County Agricultural Development Board (CADB). The funds will assist the CADB in participating in the Garden State Preservation Trust Fund’s Farmland Preservation Program. 10. The Trust Fund can be utilized for acquisition of Brownfields to provide new open space and recreation opportunities. As much of the vacant land in the urban and suburban areas of the county were formerly developed as commercial and industrial sites, creating new open space in this part of the county will require the examination and remediation of Brownfields for such uses. 11. The Olmsted Brothers examined the County of Passaic in 1927 and identified areas for preservation of natural resources and creation of parkland. The Olmsted master plan is a regional analysis of the county that outlines how to preserve river/stream corridors and ridgelines throughout Passaic County in the lower county region, which was the developed area of the county at that time. The Olmsted plan did not examine the area above Pompton Lakes, as at that time this area was perceived as protected watershed lands. However, the land preservation concepts utilized in the Olmsted master plan are applicable to this upcounty region and should be employed.

Preserve Critical Water Resource Areas and Watersheds. The upper portion of Passaic County is one of the most important watershed areas in the State of New Jersey because it provides not only high quality waters to its residents, but it also contains the storage areas for major reservoirs, serving the needs of lower Passaic County and the greater north Jersey metropolitan area. In order to assure long term, continued supplies of high quality/quantity surface and ground waters in this region, land must be preserved and restrictive covenants placed upon them so they are never used for purposes other than watershed lands. Ensuring adequate water supplies for future water users has three aspects, which must be considered: • Protection of upland areas where ground water is recharged in order to safeguard the quantity and quality of both ground and surface waters. • Protection of areas where water is at or near the surface of the land in order to sustain the quantity and quality of surface water; and • Protection of ecosystem health. By recognizing the value of acquiring vacant land in upper Passaic County for watershed purposes, a program of watershed management can be established in partnership with the State of New Jersey, the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection, the Palisades Interstate park Commission, water purveyors, municipalities, and other interested parties. Under the watershed management program, which is being established by the N.J. Department of Environmental Protection, projects will be initiated to assure the maintenance of the water supplies, which exist in upper Passaic County. Under the watershed management program, a management plan will be crated, which can be complimented by the preservation of critical water resource lands, as defined in this open space master plan and the expenditure of funds from the Trust. Passaic County should be an active participant in the planning and development of the state’s watershed management effort. Establishing multifunctional land uses for such preservation would include acquisition of land for its recharge capabilities, land that is defined as a drinking water source area, vegetated steep slopes, rock outcroppings, well head protection areas, lakes and ponds, flood plains and riparian corridors, and wetlands. By pursuing a course of land acquisition in upper Passaic County, nonpoint source control measures can be more easily instituted, rehabilitation of stream corridors can be easily done, and impacts from pollution producing sources can be minimized. Land should be acquired and managed as watershed land where the drainage flows toward a water supply source, i.e., a reservoir. The closer the land is to a reservoir, the higher should be the priority for acquisition. All ground water dependent municipalities should delineate their wellhead protection areas, a tier system that is based on the time of travel that it takes for contamination to reach the wellhead. Every effort should be made to assure that as much as possible of Tier one, the P:\PROJECTS\Open_Space_Master_Plan\BriefingBooks\BriefingBook_Materials\Briefing Book.doc 7 Passaic County Open Space and Recreation Master Plan Update --- Municipal Briefing Book time of travel for bacteria and viruses to reach the well, is in public ownership. Determination should further be made if selected parcels of land in Tier two should also be purchased. 2. Establish, plan and implement a Greenway Corridors program along ridgelines and river to protect environmental resources and create new passive recreational opportunities. The Watchung Ridges and the river and stream corridors of lower Passaic County and the Highlands Mountains, and the reservoirs, lakes and streams of upper Passaic County create linear corridors consisting of fragile environments that should be protected. In many places public and quasi-public land already protects these corridors, and there are substantial opportunities to link isolated parcels and fragments into contiguous tracts of land. Connecting the fragments into large contiguous areas will increase the viability of high quality wildlife habitat, protect steep slopes and floodplains, and provide enhanced recreational opportunities. 3. Promote the development of new active recreational facilities in partnership with municipalities for the increasing population and the changing user groups. The municipalities that participated in this project all indicated a demand for additional active recreational facilities and a need to rehabilitate existing facilities to meet the changing needs of organized athletics. To assist in meeting this demand, the County of Passaic should make funding available to the municipalities for capital improvements to existing and proposed recreational facilities. The County of Passaic should also examine developing partnerships with municipalities to create new recreational facilities that could meet regional needs. Passaic County could provide leadership in the acquisition of open space and enter into a lease agreement with municipalities to develop and maintain new recreational facilities. 4. Promote the acquisition of identified priority lands to protect ecological and environmental values. The County of Passaic working with the state, municipalities, Palisades Interstate Park commission, and nonprofits should advocate and provide leadership for the acquisition of tracts of land that are identified in the master plan as having the highest ecological values and thereby providing the most environmental benefits. The identification of priority tracts of land was a two step process: (1) tracts of land that were identified by the state agencies, municipalities, nonprofits, and concerned citizens groups in the public participation and outreach section of the master planning process and mapped in a GIS format, and (2) an Ecological Value for areas in up-county was assessed utilizing the Passaic County Open Space and Natural Resources Management acquisition were then overlaid onto the ecological sensitivity map and tracts were identified based on ecological sensitivity. 5. Assist in the restoration of existing urban parks and the acquisition and development of new urban parks. In the urban communities of Paterson, Passaic, and Clifton, there are many city parks that were developed prior to the creation of the Passaic County Park P:\PROJECTS\Open_Space_Master_Plan\BriefingBooks\BriefingBook_Materials\Briefing Book.doc 8 Passaic County Open Space and Recreation Master Plan Update --- Municipal Briefing Book system that provide passive recreation and pastoral areas for the residents of the cities. As these parks are in many cases the only greenspace available to area residents in the densely populated cities, they serve a greater population and function as regional open space. The restoration and enhancement of parkland, and the creation of new parks in urban areas is an important element in providing adequate countywide open space and recreation for Passaic County residents. The Great Falls of the Passaic River is one of the most dynamic natural sites on the eastern coast of the United States. The Great Falls are located in the City of Paterson’s Great Falls Park, and is a site that could be a large tourist attraction due to the natural beauty and historic significance, if the park was rehabilitated to bring it up to the standards of the National Park Service. 6. Develop partnerships for the preservation and management of open space. The County of Passaic will work cooperatively with the agencies of the federal government (Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish & Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, US Park Service), the new Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres Program; Fish, Division of Game and Wildlife; and Division of Parks and Forestry; the Palisades Interstate Park Commission; the municipalities of Passaic County; charitable nonprofit agencies, and charitable foundations to acquire and manage open space in Passaic county for natural resource protection and recreation. In collaboration with other entities, the county will leverage open space trust funds and secure expertise to develop and implement opens space projects for the benefit of the citizens of the county. 7. Assist in the preservation of land along the First and Second Watchung Ridges and specifically in the High Mountain Preserve. Within lower Passaic County, the Watchung Ridges have shaped the development of communities and dictated circulation and transportation. The basaltic mountains contain a unique ecology recognized by the New Jersey Natural Heritage Program and provide opportunities for passive outdoor recreation in large natural areas. Along with ridges are the largest areas of open space in the urban/suburban core; Passaic County’s Garret Mountain Reservation and Rifle Camp Reservation, and the High Mountain Preserve as well as several municipal parks, two public universities and a private golf course contain over 2,000 acres of parkland and undeveloped open space. Acquisition of additional land as open space will protect steep slopes and valuable recharge areas as well as the unique ecology of the basalt mountains. There are also opportunities to expand the use and create new access into the Watchung Ridges to increase the amount of passive recreation. 8. Promote and support the preservation of forestry and timber resources. Within upper Passaic County are substantial forestry and timber resources that provide not only significant forest products, but also protect steep slopes and water resources, and provide high quality wildlife habitat. This region, located within the Highlands physiographic province, is predominantly a central hardwood forest dominated by oak, ash, and hickory. P:\PROJECTS\Open_Space_Master_Plan\BriefingBooks\BriefingBook_Materials\Briefing Book.doc 9 Passaic County Open Space and Recreation Master Plan Update --- Municipal Briefing Book As the entire area was previously logged for the mining industry, the forests are second growth and in many cases not older than 100 years. The large undeveloped forest that remains in upper Passaic County represents the greatest proportion of intact and contiguous woodland in the New Jersey Highlands. This id due to the Newark Pequannock watershed lands, the State Forests and Parks, Wildlife Management Areas, and the Monksville/Wanaque reservoirs, and the Passaic County parkland, a protected and forested area of almost 48,000 acres. There are a large number of farm-assessed properties that are under a woodlot management program. In the up-county region, 55 of the 60 farms are enrolled in the farmland program. 9. Examining opportunities to increase the recreational opportunities in the existing undeveloped county parkland. The large tracts of county owned land in upper Passaic County have been acquired for natural resource protection and conservation. These tracts, however, do not currently contain any passive or recreational opportunities and are generally unavailable to county residents. The Apshawa tract and the Tranquility Ridge should be examined to determine their capacity and feasibility for future recreation. 10. Promote and assist in the preservation and restoration of floodplain areas through the State of New Jersey’s Blue Acres Program and associated Arm Corps of Engineers (ACoE) Flood control projects. The State of New jersey Department of Environmental Protection is acquiring developed land from willing sellers within the Passaic River Basin and removing the structures to reduce flood damages and restore the floodplain in order to improve the health of the river system. The program is funded by the Blue Acres Program and will purchase eligible properties in Pompton Lakes, Wayne, and Little Falls. Similarly, the ACoE is implementing a program to acquire wetlands in the central Passaic River Basin to preserve vital flood storage areas. The program known as the Passaic River Preservation of Natural Flood Storage Areas Project and part of the Water Resources Development Act of 1992 has identified tracts of land in the floodway along the Pompton River in Pompton Lakes and Wayne containing wetlands that should be acquired from private owners to ensure permanent protection. The management of acquired floodplain and wetlands areas for water quality and recreation is a priority greenway project along the Pompton and Passaic Rivers. Leadership by the County of Passaic in the efforts to create linkages and in unifying of management strategies between tracts in different ownership within this corridor will allow for the creation of an extensive new regional park. 11. Promote the development of pedestrian and bike pathways. The County of Passaic had developed an assessment of opportunities to create new pedestrian and bike pathways to create linkages between the county park system, existing public open space, neighborhoods, downtowns, and significant other destinations for increased mobility and recreational opportunities. These pathways may be placed along existing roadways, potential rails-to-trails, within existing public open space, and as part of the development of a town center. P:\PROJECTS\Open_Space_Master_Plan\BriefingBooks\BriefingBook_Materials\Briefing Book.doc 10 Passaic County Open Space and Recreation Master Plan Update --- Municipal Briefing Book The interior roadway in Garret Mountain Reservation was recently reconfigured to create a multi-use pathway for cyclists, pedestrians, and joggers. Expanding on this theme, there are numerous opportunities to create new pathways and connections, such as a pathway along the Passaic River, a connection between Garret Mountain Reservation and Rifle Camp Reservation, the Morris-Passaic bikeway along the NYS&W freight railroad rightof-way, and the proposed Lafayette Multi-Use Path within Goffle Brook Park, and the Hawthorne redevelopment zone on the Passaic River. 12. Evaluate the use of Brownfields for recreation, independently and in collaboration with redevelopment projects. The County of Passaic in collaboration with local government and state efforts should study the potential of Brownfields redevelopment. In all Brownfields projects, an open space component should be examined to identify the feasibility of remediating the property into parkland, or interjecting open space and recreation opportunities into a development plan. 13. Promote the planning vision and principles for land preservation, created by the Olmstead Brothers Firm in the analysis of the Passaic County Park System, where it is currently applicable. The Olmsted Brothers examined the County of Passaic in 1927 and identified areas for preservation of natural resources, and creation of parkland. The Olmstead master plan is a regional analysis of the county that outlines how to preserve river/stream corridors and ridgelines throughout Passaic County in the lower county region, which was the developed area of the county at that time. The Olmstead plan did not examine the area above Pompton Lakes, as at that time this area was perceived as protected watershed lands. However, the land preservation concepts utilized in the Olmsted master plan are applicable to this up-county region and should be employed.

The type of information that we are looking to obtain from this process is: - Are the areas represented as open space in our 2001 report correct? - What land has been purchased as open space since the report (2001 – 2006)? - Are there any additional land may have been purchased as open space that we are missing? The data on the map was derived from two data sources. These are shown as areas with thick black outline and ones with a thick green outline. The areas with a thick black outline and thin green infill shading are open space purchases as of 2001 and derived from the 2001 Passaic County Open Space Master Plan. The areas with a thick green outline and thick green infill shading are open space purchases made between 2001 and 2006. Both categories are labeled with a code that corresponds to Table 1, which provides information such as the acreage, lot, block, name, and owner of the tract of land. This information will help assist anyone in determining the accuracy of the inventory. In the areas outlined in black we want to know: - Where these areas purchased as open space as of 2001? - Is this information complete? In the areas outlined in green we want to know: - Have these been purchases made since 2001? - Area there any more purchases that have been made? - Do the areas accurately reflect the purchases or should they be modified?

These updates were done to the best of the county’s knowledge and provide a good baseline for the municipal verification. The type of information that we are looking to obtain from this process is: - Are the potential open space parcels still vacant today? - Does the municipality still support these sites for preservation, or are these sites of future development? - What is known about the status of these sites in any development application processes? - Does the map correctly depict the property that has already been purchased as open space? The areas in the yellow hatching are Potential Open Space Areas that were identified in the 2001 Passaic County Open Space Master Plan. The labels are a code that corresponds to Table 2, which provides information such as the acreage, lot, block, name, and owner of the tract of land. The areas in green are open space purchases up until 2006. The labels are a code that corresponds to Table 1, which provides information such as the acreage, lot, block, name, and owner of the tract of land In the yellow areas we want to know: - Are these areas are still available? - Does the municipality still support their preservation? - Are these lands involved in any development application process? In the green areas we want to know: - Is this an accurate and complete inventory of open space purchases in the municipality? In addition to this information, the map shows the municipality boundaries in blue, as well as the Highlands Preservation/Planning area boundaries in a thick red line. The Highlands Preservation Area Boundary defines the Highlands Preservation Area and the Highlands Planning Area.

The type of information that we are looking to obtain from this process is: - Are the vacant areas still vacant today? - Does the municipality support these areas for future development or preservation? - What is known about the status of these sites in any development application processes? The data presented on the map was derived from two sources. These are shown in the yellow and red highlighted areas. The areas in the yellow hatching are Potential Open Space Areas that were identified in the 2001 Passaic County Open Space Master Plan. The labels are a code that corresponds to Table 2, which provides information such as the acreage, lot, block, name, and owner of the tract of land. The areas in red are the Vacant/Undeveloped Areas. The state inventory of vacant land served as a starting point to find these areas. Any land that was identified as water, wetlands, smaller than 2 acres, or having steep slopes was eliminated. These factors were chosen since they would make the land unlikely to develop and only leave us with areas that may be developed in the foreseeable future. In the yellow areas we want to know: - Are these areas are still available? - Does the municipality still support their preservation? - Are these lands involved in any development application process? In the red areas we want to know: - Are these areas still vacant? - Are these lands involved in any development application process? - Are these areas appropriate for open space preservation? - Would the municipality support preservation in these areas? In addition to this information, the map shows the municipality boundaries in blue, as well as the Highlands Preservation/Planning area boundaries in a thick red line. The Highlands Preservation Area Boundary defines the Highlands Preservation Area and the Highlands Planning Area.

In addition it provides an update to the surface water quality guidelines that the state has set for each of the waterways. In order provide points of reference, the municipal boundary has been outlined in a beige color and several of the major roadways have been labeled. Large water bodies such as lakes and reservoirs have been outlined in blue and filled with blue diagonal lines. Many of these water bodies will have a black background since this is how they appear in the aerial mapping. The most important features of the map are the streams, which have been broken down into three categories. The three categories are C1, C2, and ON, and each is shown in a different shade of blue. Each of the categories refers to the Surface Water Quality Standard (SWQS) classification of the waterway. The C1 waterways have been show in a darkest shade of blue and are characterized by their exceptional recreational significance, importance to the water supply, fisheries resources, ecological significance, and overall beauty. These waterways have stringent antidegradation policies and require a 300 ft buffer area. The ON waterways are shown in the lightest shade of blue and represent Outstanding National Resource Waters that constitute exceptional recreational and ecological value, and an outstanding national resource such as waters in a National Park, or wildlife refuge. This designation ensures no degradation of the river quality and the most stringent protection for the long-term health of the waterway. The C2 waterways shown in the middle shade of blue and are waterways that are neither ON or C1 waterways when it comes to implementing policies when it comes to antidegradation and protection of the stream. A 300 foot buffer has been applied to all of the waterways in each municipality. When viewing this information you should be asking: - What land is available around these waterways in order to protect them? - Are these areas already purchased as open space or planned as an acquisition? - Which waterways would be a priority to protect? The other maps in this book will give you assistance in answering these questions and deciding which areas of land to focus on.

These impacts could effect whether a piece of land should be purchased as open space. The mapping is drawn from two sources. The first is the ground water recharge areas with are highlighted in a purple pattern. These areas indicate where surface water is recharged back down into groundwater. The recharged groundwater can make its way back to reservoirs and streams, or be a source for wells. Contamination on the surface of these areas could lead to contamination of any of these water resources. When looking at these areas you need to be asking: - Are these areas already preserved as open space? - Are these areas listed as potential open space acquisitions? - Which of these areas is available to purchase as open space? - What areas would be the most advantageous or easy to purchase in the future? - Are certain land uses already restricted in these areas? The second source of information is the public community supply wells and their well head protection areas. The white dots indicate the locations of public community supply wells that provide water to local communities. The red, yellow, and green areas surrounding the wells show how long it would take any contaminants in the groundwater to reach these wells and affect drinking water quality. As the legend indicates, any groundwater contaminants in the red area take 2 years to reach the well, 5 years in the yellow area, and 12 years in the green area. Although the municipal boundaries are show in a pale beige color you will see that the recharge areas are not limited to these boundaries. When looking at these areas you need to be asking: - Are these areas already preserved as open space? - Are these areas listed as potential open space acquisitions? - Which of these areas is available to purchase as open space? - Are there any protection areas that overlap with other wells or groundwater recharge areas? - Are certain land uses already restricted in these areas? The other maps can serve as a guide in determining along with this in order to determine what land should be considered for open space purchases in the future.

The municipal boundary for the municipality is shown in blue while the critical habitat areas are shown in a yellow diagonal pattern. These areas have been determined by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and are considered to be the most critical areas since they are used by species of plants and animals on the State Threatened, State Endangered and Federal Threatened and Endangered Species list respectively. The yellow area also reflects wood turtle habitat and bald eagle foraging habitat. The restrictions placed on development in these areas may be as effective as preserving the land. As a result, when viewing the information you should be asking: - Are these lands involved in any development application process? - Have the environmental impacts/restrictions been taken into consideration? - Do the environmental impacts make a piece of land more attractive as an open space purchase? - Have these environmental impacts been taken into consideration for purchases planned for the future? The other maps can serve as a guide in determining along with this in order to determine what land should be considered for open space purchases in the future.
