The American Littoral Society was particularly helpful in publicizing the request for public nominations. The nominations were reviewed, and the report prepared by staff of the Office of Coastal Zone Management in the Department of Environmental Protection. The work was primarily performed by Martin K. Pillsb-ury, Andrea L. Topper and John R. Weingart. December. 1977 New Jersey Departmient of E- nvironmental Protection Division of Marine Services Office of Coastal Zone Management P. 0.

Over a nine month period, nominations for 176 areas were received from 140 individuals and organizations. The areas nominated were diverse, and covered the entire coastal zone, ranging from the urbanized Hudson River waterfront, to the Jersey shore, to the Delaware Bay and River waterfront. This document will explain the purpose and background of the NAPC nomination process, discuss how the nominations will be used, summarize the nominations received, and describe the regional distribution of the nominations. Coastal planning in New Jersey, as in other states, has led to policies toward general types of areas rather than to statements on specific sites. New Jersey's Interim Land Use and Density Guide- lines for the Coastal Area, for example, state that development will be "encouraged" in urban-infill areas and "discouraged" in wetlands areas. In general, New Jersey's coastal zone is too large for a state agency to be able to make site-specific policies; that is more properly the function of local government. Certain sites in the coastal zone, however, are of statewide importance and interest. Some, like New Jersey's beaches, are well known but others are familiar to fewer people. This nomination process was intended to bring areas of regional or statewide concern to the attention of both the Office of Coastal Zone Management, and the public. The public nomination process is also in part a response to the federal Coastal Zone Managemient Act of 1972 which requires that states designate "areas of particular concern within the coastal zone." Under the federal Act, states must designate two or more areas which meet specific criteria-established in the Rules and Regulations adopted under the Act (15 CFR Part 923.13) . These areas, known as "GAPC's", for "Geographic Areas of Particular Concern," will eventually be selected from the Nominated Areas. At this time, New Jersey OCZM is considering Atlantic City in Atlantic County, Higbee Beach in Cape May County, Greenwich Township in Cumberland County, and all coastal wetlands for formal GAPC designation. All NAPC's, however, will receive attention from NJ OCZM and hopefully from other appropriate government and private agencies. PUBLIC NOMINATION PROCESS The Office of Coastal Zone Management, in seeking the sugges- tions of the public, hoped that the nomination process would not only provide specific workable suggestions, but would also serve as an indicator of general public concerns about the coastal zone. -2- The public nominations were solicited by notices in local newspapers and on radio stations, through an announcement in The Jersey Coast, the OCZM newsletter, and by a formal legal notice published in the New Jersey Register (9 N.J.R. 77). The public was asked to nominate favorite spots along the Jersey Coast, whether it be a fishing or swimming spot, an area of scenic beauty or historical value, an area in need of preservation or conservation, or an area suited to certain types of development. (See Appendix C; page 119) The nomination process is open ended. OCZM continues to welcome public comments on specific areas. This report has been prepared to summarize the results to date. WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A NAPC The Office of Coastal Zone Management has received 176 Nomi- nations of Areas of Public Concern. The responses ranged from a single sentence on a postcard to lengthy and detailed letters and reports, some accompanied by maps and drawings. Each nomination has been transferred to a standardized form and evaluated by OCZM staff. These forms follow page 11 of this report. In addition, OCZM will share the individual evaluations and this summary report with appropriate county and municipal planning boards and environmental commissions, relevant state agencies including Green Acres and the Divisions of Water Resources, Envi- ronmental Quality, and Solid Waste Management in the Department of Environmental Protection, and the Departments of Agriculture, Community Affairs, Enercry, Labor and industry and Transportation. OCZM's review has classified the nominations in terms of their location. Nominated areas outside the coastal zone delineated by OCZM are classified as "Non-Coastal". The non-coastal sites will be shared with appropriate state and local agencies but are not listed in this report. Tn addition, a nomination is considered a "Generic NAPC"I when it includes a type of area, such as "all barrier beaches", rather than a specific site. No further classification is made at this time. An Estuarine Contract, being performed during the next year for OCZM by Jack McCormick and Associates, will use the information submitted in the nominations to help OCZM make specific coastal policy statements. Effective immediately, however, the nominations will automa- tically be included in the review process for CAFRA permit appli- cations. After New Jersey submits the coastal zone management program to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, this information will also be included in the processing of other state and federal coastal permit programs. -3- OVERVIEW OF NOMINATIONS Nominations were received for areas throughout the coastal zone, but they were concentrated in Cape May, Ocean, and Monmouth Counties. The overwhelming majority of nominations were for the preservation or conservation of natural resources or specific sites. Several were for historic sites, and several others urged agricul- tural preservation, creation of parks or study areas, and public access to shore areas. only one nomination for a development site was received. most nominations were submitted by interested individuals. A significant number were also submitted by local and state environ- mental groups, including the Audubon Society, the American Littoral Society, the Sierra Club, Citizen Association for Protection of the Environment (CAPE), Save Our River Environment (SORE), Committee for a Better Environment, and the New Jersey Conservation Foundation. Several were submitted by county planning boards and environ- mental agencies and municipal governments and environmental com- missions. A number of nominations were received from out-of-state; of note are the nominations of the Palisades by the Wave Hill Center for Environmental Studies in New York, and of New Jersey's barrier islands by the Barrier Beach'Workshop in Washington. The request for public nominations was designed to bring important areas to the state's attention. It was not a vote or popularity contest. Nevertheless, it is interesting to note that 28 sites received more than one nomination. The largest number (33) was received by Ocean Crest State Park, apparently as the result of an organized campaign on behalf of the park. The other sites nominated by three or more people are: Pine Barrens 8 Higbee Beach 7 Sandy Hook 4 Hackensack Meadowlands 4 Stone Harbor Point 4 Great Egg Harbor River 4 Natco Lake 4 Passaic River 3 The list of multiple nominations shows that some of the most environmentally sensitive and valuable sites throughout the coastal zone have been identified by the public. Development proposals at several of these sites have been the subject of considerable contro- versy. Most nominations received expressed a concern for the appro- priate use of the sites. The nominations have been grouped according to the uses which have been suggested for them as most appropriate by the nominators. The use groups are: -4- 1. Preservation -- The concern in these nominations is the preservation and/or conservation of ivaluable natural resources, such as marsh land, prime forests, endangered species, water quality, and wildlife habitats. These nominations are primarily concerned with the maintenance of the quality of the ecosystem. 2. Historic -- These nominations suggested the preservation of historically significant sites or areas. Landmarks, houses, cemeteries, and entire historic districts have been nominated. 3. Recreation -- These nominations are concerned with one of the following aspects of recreation: (a) acquisition of land or water areas with high recreation use potential; (b) improved main- tenance of existing recreation facilities; or (c) improved public access to existing or potential recreation sites, typically at the water's edge. 4. Visual -- Some nominations were concerned with the main- tenance of the scenic beauty of an area, or the visual and aesthetic quality of a site. These were usually either outstanding natural areas, or pockets of scenic beauty near urbanized areas which are seen as a necessary visual buffer around dense development. 5. Other -- Almost all of the nominations fall into one of the above four categories. The remaining few cover topics including creation of study areas, public utilities development, and extending the CAFRA boundary to new areas. The following page contains a summary of the nominations received in each county, as well as the generic nominations, showing the breakdown among the five use groups. SUM,MARY OF NOMIINATIONS BY COUNTY This section briefly describes the types of nominations received for each county in the coastal zone. The northeastern counties of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, and Union are groupDed into one category called the Northeast Waterfront. Northeast Waterfront (15 nominations) More than in any of the other counties, the nominations in the Northeast Waterfront counties reflected a concern for open space, recreation opportunities, and visual amenity. Many urban waterfront lands were nominated for their potential contribution to urban open space and recreation, and as a buffer from development. 1. Hackensack Meadowlands 2. Passaic River Bank 3. Palisades 4. Paramus site 5. Paramus site -5- Summary of N.A.P.C.

Mullica River Atlantic (12) Atlantic County received 12 nominations, 9 of which were for preservation. These included the Great Egg Harbor River, the wetlands, ocean beaches, and several inland wildlife sites. One nomnination identified the area between Atlantic City and the main- land, citing the increased pressure for development on this wetland area due to the approval of the Casino referendum. The only nomination for a development site is in Atlantic County. This is City Island, nominated by the Atlantic County Sewerage Authority because of its suitability for public utilities development. 1. City Island - southern half 2. Great Egg Harbor River 3.

Islands in Mannington Meadow & agricultural land (Delaware Bay shoreline) Gloucester (1) Gloucester County's one nomination was for preservation of the banks of Racoon Creek. The Delaware River banks were also mentioned in a nomination for Salem County's riverfront lands. 1. South bank Racoon Creek (Delaware River shoreline) Camden (5) The principal rivers and streams of Camden County were nomi- nated for preservation, including the Delaware River, Pennsauken Creek, Cooper River, Newton Creek and Big Timber Creek. 1. Delaware River Shoreline 2. Pennsauken Creek 3. Cooper River System 4. Newton Creek 5. Big Timber Creek Burlington (West) (6) The western (or Delaware Watershed) portion of Burlington County received two preservation nominations, including Rancocas Creek, and four for recreation, including Rancocas State Park and Sylvan Lake. 1. Plum Point 2. Rancocas State Park -11- 3. Sylvan Lake 4. Rancocas Creek waterbed 5. Moorestown Site 6. Moorestown Site Generic (10) Nine preservation nominations were received for "generic" types, including the pine barrens, coastal waters, barrier islands, wil-dlife areas, and wetlands. One nomination urged restricting high rise development at the Jersey shore. 1. Pine Barrens 2. Coastal waters/N.Y. Bight 3. N.J. watershed 4. Wildlife areas 5. Barrier islands 6. Wetlands 7. Atlantic Basin watersheds S. Jersey Shore (no high-rises) 9. Prime Forest area 10. Streams, rivers, swamps, wetlands, bays, ocean CONCLUS ION This public nomination process cannot insure that the areas nominated will automatically assume the character or use suggested. Decisions affecting the areas nominated are not made only by state agencies. Private interests, municipal bodies, and, in many cases, county and/or federal authorities also determine the future of coastal areas. Bringing specific areas to public attention, how- ever, will serve as a guide and a catalyst to OCZM and other agencies charged with making land use decisions. The results of the nomination process demonstrate the public concern and interest in the management of New Jersey's coastal resources. Preservation is, in fact,' the dominant'use suggested for the nominated areas, even though the request for nominations spe- cifically invited suggestions for development locations. Also, the preservation emphasis was strong even though OCZM sent the request for nominations to the 5,000 people on the OCZM mailing list, which includes federal, state and local agencies, interest groups ranging from builders associations to energy related industry to environ- mental groups, and other interested individuals. The NAPC process is clearly not a scientific test of public sentiment, but it does indicate a strong public concern for preservation and conser- vation in the management of the New Jersey coast. -12- APPENDIX A: THE NOMINATIONS This section contains a brief description of each public nomination.

Many citizens have participated in these efforts, and the book is by no means closed on such con- tributions. The time is now ripe, however, for identifying specific places of particular importance. As part of its management strategy under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act, (CZMA) New Jersey must identify "geogjraphic areas of particular con- cern." These are coastal locations meriting special attentio'n because of their natural ecological value, or perhaps because of their suitability for development. The New Jersey Office of Coastal Zone Management (OCZM) is asking all interested citizens to help name or "nominate" these special geographic areas. The nominations should be as specific as possible, such as, - "Development should be encouraged in a specific section of Atlantic City" or "This swamp area in X municipality should be preserved." The nominations submitted will be considered by OCZM staff and discussed with local and county officials and interest groups. The characteristics of specific areas will be the significant factor, rather than the number of nominations received for a particular site. In some areas, DEP may have insufficient power to regulate the area. In others, adequate state or local authority may already exist. But in many cases, coastal zone management may provide a means for protecting the natural resources or encouraging the best use of an area. To assist you in organizing your nominations, the general types of geographic areas identified in OCZM's "Interim Land Use and Density Guidelines for the Coastal Area of New Jersey" are listed below. This list is sugges- tive only. Please feel free to nominate sites which do not fit into any of these categories: Coastal Waters and Bays Barrier Beaches Rivers, Streams and Lakes Shoreline and Beach Wetlands Prime Forest Areas Barrier Islands Sloped Land Flood Prone Land Historic Sites Prime Agricultural Land Residential and Allied Areas Urban Infill/Extension Urban Economic Centers Urban Depressed Areas Areas described should be near coastal waters since that is the land most likely to be in the coastal zone under the Federal CZMA. THE JERSEY COAST No. 3Noebr17 November 1976 -121- NOMINATIONS FOR GEOGRAPHIC AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN Submit as much information as possible on this form. Use extra paper if needed and return to OCZM. If it is more convenient, you need not use this form at all. For example, newspaper articles or letters describing an area are welcome. Note for Mailing: 1) On reverse side of this sheet, cross off bottom address section including stamp and, if you wish, your name; 2) Fold, with OCZM address outside, staple, apply 13~ stamp and mail. Type of Area Location Recommendation & Comments THE JERSEY COAST No. 3Noebr17 November 1976 Let's protect ouir Wath 609-292-29 (STATEWIDE) No. 77/163 NOMINATE YOUR Immediate release: FAVORITE SPOT January 18, 1977 FOR COASTAL POLL TRENTON--Do you have a favorite fishing spot, barrier beach or scenic area you'd like to see protected under the state's coastal zone management plan? Here's your chance to let New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP.) know about geographic areas of particular concern. Just send your nominations to David Kinsey, chief of DEP's Office of Coastal Zone Management, Box 1889, Trenton, 08625 before March 31. Kinsey said designation of geographic areas of particular concern is a basic part in the development of New Jersey's overall plan for managing the coastal areas. Some samples, said Kinsey, could be areas having cultural and scenic importance, historical significance, vulnerable natural habitat, high potential for development, or other unusual factors. You can nominate places such as coastal waters and bays, rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, barrier beaches, prime forest areas, even depressed urban areas, or other various locations deserving special consideration. "This is your opportunity to nominate your favorite area," Kinsey pointed out. "Let DEP know before the end of March so we can consider your suggestion. " - 30- -123- This notice is being published as a matter of public information. G. Duncan Fletcher Director of Administrative Procedure Department of State (a) ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TIlE COMMIISSIONER Notice of Nominations for Geographic Areas of Particular Concern Take notice that, the Department of Environmental Protection has issued the following Notice concerning nominations for geographic areas of particular concern. Pursuant to the program development requirements of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act, P.L. 92-583, 16 U.S.C. 1451 et seq., the Department of Environmental Protection must identify Geographic Areas of Particular Concern within the coastal zone of New Jersey. Such Geographic Areas of Particular Concern are areas: Of unique, scarce, fragile or vulnerable natural habitat, physical features, historical significance, cultural and scenic importance, Of high natural productivity including fish, and wildlife, of substantial recreational value, Where development is dependent on access or utilization of coastal waters, Of urban concentration where shoreline and water uses are highly competitive, Of significant hazard if developed due to storms, floods, erosion or the like, Needed to protect, maintain or replenish coastal lands or resources. Examples of such geographic areas include but are not limited to: Coastal Waters and Bays. Rivers, Streams and Lakes. Wetlands. Barrier Islands. Flood Prone Land. Prime Agricultural Land. Residential and Allied Areas. Urban Economic Centers. Barrier Beaches. Shoreline and Beaches. Prime Forest Areas. Sloped Land. Historic Sites. Depressed Urban Areas. Urban Infil/Extension. The New Je. sey Office of Coastal Zone Management encourages public involvement in all phases of its pro- gram development activities. Therefore, the Office of Coastal Zone Management invites all interested persons to submit nominations for Geographic Areas of Particular Concern. Such nominations should be near coastal waters and identified as specifically as possible with respect to area type and location. Nominations may be submitted on or before March 31, 1977 to: David N. Kinsey Department of Environmental Protection Office of Coastal Zone Management P.O. Box 1889 Trenton, N.J. 08625 (b) ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION THE COMMISSIONER Revisions for Preservation of Sea Clam Resources On December 22, 1976, David J. Bardin, Comnmissioner of Environmental Protection, pursuant to authority of P.L. 1975, c.398, N.J.S.A. 50:1-5, 50:2-6.1 et seq., 13:IB- 42, 13:1D-4, 13:1D-9 and in accordance with applicable provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, adopted revisions to N.J.A.C. 7:25-12.1, known within the Depart- ment of Environmental Protection as Docket No. DEP 025-76-10, concerning the preservation of sea clam re- sources, substantially as proposed in the Notice published November 4, 1976, at 8 N.J.R. 508(b), but with subse- quent, substantive changes not detrimental to the public, in the opinion of the Department of Environmental Pro- tection. The substantive changes concern changes from a daily to a weekly catch limit, the addition of a gallonage/ bushel conversion figure for those persons who shuck their catch at sea and the clear enunciation of a 250,000- bushel harvest for the season.
