Description: Animals need to be able to move through the landscape to find food, mates, and other resources. Without that ability to move, long-term viability of populations is in jeopardy. New Jersey is facing increasing habitat loss and fragmentation from steady urbanization, a dense network of roads, and a changing climate that are compromising the connectivity of habitat and resiliency of wildlife populations. Connecting Habitat Across New Jersey (CHANJ) represents a statewide habitat connectivity plan, developed in collaboration with a multi-partner, multi-disciplinary working group representing over 40 different agencies across the state, convened by the ENSP to address the importance of landscape permeability for the persistence of native terrestrial wildlife species. CHANJ mapping identifies core terrestrial wildlife habitat and corridors connecting them across the state, as well as intersecting road segments that serve as road barrier mitigation opportunities. The mapping is based on a naturalness index approach, and utilized core and corridor delineation GIS toolsets, Core Mapper and Linkage Mapper (www.circuitscape.org). Terrestrial species location data were used to inform model parameters and for validation. The Stepping Stones mapping was developed using the same methodology used to develop the CHANJ Cores, but with a smaller minimum threshold area size and are meant to help with connectivity planning by identifying areas within CHANJ Corridors that are more intact than others and may “live in” habitat for smaller, less vagile terrestrial wildlife species. The mapping was developed using raster data (10m grid cell size), and then converted to polygons for the final product.
Description: This data layer identifies those Known Contaminated Sites (KCS) or sites on Site Remediation Programs' (SRP) Comprehensive Site List (CSL) that have been assigned a Deed Notice.
Description: The purpose of the SEPs map and data is to showcase the NJDEP SEPs program. A SEP is a supplemental environmental project. An SEP is an environmentally beneficial project that a respondent voluntarily agrees to perform as a condition of settling an enforcement action. An SEP is an activity that the respondent would not otherwise have been required to perform, and in which the public or the environment is the primary beneficiary. Having outside organizations/companies submit a proposed SEP project will allow for an easier matching process between violators and organizations/companies looking for a funding source for a qualified SEP project.

Description: New Jersey offers more than 400 publicly accessible lakes, ponds and reservoirs. These waters offer a great diversity of fishing opportunities, from abundant populations of panfish to trophy-sized game fish. This data layer, though not a complete list, includes 291 waterbodies picked by New Jersey Fish and Wildlife staff as good places to fish in the state. All have sizable populations of desirable species. Several of them also provide access for people with disabling conditions. For each waterbody, the data include a list of the primary game fish species present, ownership, whether a permit is required and outboard motors are permitted, and if there are other amenities such as boat ramps, swimming areas, picnic areas, and camping. Whether a beginner or well-seasoned, New Jersey has something for everyone.

Description: This layer contains point features representing the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) Discharge to Groundwater (DGW) Permittees who have been issued permit modifications to include Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) monitoring and reporting requirements. The Ground Water Permitting Unit issued an initial round of permit modifications in January 2020. This layer contains facility information that includes, but is not limited to, the facility name, location, and receiving aquifer.

Description: This layer contains points features representing the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) Discharge to Surface Water (DSW) Permittees that participated in the Division of Water Quality’s (DWQ) PFAS Source Evaluation and Reduction Requirements Survey. On March 17, 2021, the DWQ sent a Request for Information letter to Category B Permittees (Industrial Wastewater) and Category L Permittees (Significant Indirect Users). These permittees are industrial users that discharge directly or indirectly to a surface water body. The survey was used to collect and evaluate site-specific information such as on-site use of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), use of process materials or aids that may contain PFAS, and industrial operations and processes. The Division is utilizing this information to aid in the development of a strategy to identify and eliminate or reduce sources of PFAS.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>New Jersey’s Environmental Justice (EJ) Law identifies 7 specific categories of “environmental or public health stressors”. Sites that manufacture, process, store or use hazardous substances are in the category of conditions that may cause potential public health impacts as accidental releases of substances stored at these sites could impact public health in the community. Under the EJ Law a regulated facility prepares an environmental justice impact statement that assesses the potential environmental and public health stressors associated with the proposed new or expanded facility, or with the existing major source, as applicable, including any adverse environmental or public health stressors that cannot be avoided if the permit is granted, and the environmental or public health stressors already borne by the overburdened community as a result of existing conditions located in or affecting the overburdened community. Emergency Planning Environmental Stressors contribute to existing conditions. The sites included in this file are required to prepare emergency or preparedness plans due to the types and quantities of substances manufactured, processed, stored or used. These plans are required under three laws: the Toxic Catastrophe Prevention Act (TCPA), the Community and Worker Right to Know Act (CWRTK), and the Spill Compensation and Control Act. The overall goal of planning is to reduce the possibility of discharges or releases of hazardous substances to the environment and minimize the consequences if they do occur.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV>
