Byrne, Governor? and the Legislature of the State of New Jersey: U~~~~ lam submitting to you the attached environmental inventory, as required by Section 16 of the Coastal Area Facility Review Act (CAFRA) of 1973 (c. 185, L. 1973; N.J.S.A. 13:19-1 et seq.): The commissioner shall, within 2 years of the taking effect of this act, prepare an environmental inventory of the environmental resources of the coastal area and of the existing facilities and land use developments within the coastal area and an estimate of the capability of the various area within the coastal area to absorb and react to man-made stresses. The commissioner shall, within I. ~~~3 years of the taking effect of this act, develop from this environmental inventory alternate long-term environmental management strategies which I ~~~~take into account the paramount need for preserving environmental values and the legitimate need for economic and residential growth within the coastal area. The commissioner shall, within 4 years of I ~~~~the taking effect of this act, select from the alternate environmental management strategies an environmental design for the coastal area. The I ~~~~environmental design shall be the approved en- vironmental management strategy for the coastal area and shall include a delineation of various areas appropriate for the development of residential and industrial facilities of various types, depending on the sensitivity and fragility of the adjacent environment to the existence of such I ~~~~facilities. The environmental inventory, the alternate long-term environmental management strategies and the environmental design for the I ~~~~coastal area shall be presented to the Governor and the Legislature within the time frame indica- ted herein. The inventory represents a major step toward meeting the broad objectives of the CAFRA statute. We are now at the half-way mark toward selection of a Mpanagement strategy .1 ~~for the coastal area, to be completed by September 1977, in accordance with the four-year statutory timetable. Governor Byrne Page 2 September 19, 1975 The inventory broadly covers man's built and natural environment in the Coastal Area. The CAPRA law calls for aI balancing of social, economic, aesthetic, and recreational, as well as ecological values. The environmental inventory therefore sketches a portrait of the unique and delicatelyI balanced coastal area and discusses the range of issues that should be confronted squarely in coastal planning. it presents extensive samples of the information collected andI identified by my Department as helpful in making wise decisions on the use of our valuable land and water coastal resources. The information should help my Department and those other agencies, organizations, and individuals with an interest in the coast. Further, the inventory shows where to obtain this information. In addition to the efforts of the De- partment of Environmental Protection, please note that theI Department of Community Affairs and the Department of Labor and Industry have provided able assistance and helped balance the perspective of this Department in the CAPRA process. In short, the New Jersey coast must meet the diverse needs of the present, but the irreplaceable qualities of theI coastal environment must also be protected for future generations. CAPRA constitutes a challenge and an oppor- tunity, a mechanism to achieve this goal and manage the @ coastal area in the best interest of the people of the State. ~Faithfully, David J. 2in Commissioner CONTENTS PAGE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1 2.0 THE COASTAL AREA AT A GLANCE 5 3.0 ISSUES IN MANAGING THE COASTAL AREA 9 3.1 Public Access to the Coast 10 3.2 Recreation 12 3.3 Energy Facility Siting 13 3.4 Economic Development 16 3.5 State Land Use and Environmental Controls 19 3.6 Housing 20 3.7 Marine Resources 22 3.8 Air Pollution and Quality 23 3.9 Transportation 24 3.10 Water Resources 25 3.11 Land 26 4.0 AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION DATA VALIDATION EXPERIMENT 27 5.0 CATALOGUE OF THE NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT 29 6.0 CONCLUSION 31 Appendix I - CAFRA Permit Decisions, 1973 - 1975 32 Appendix II - CAFRA Exemption Decisions, 1973 - 1975 33 1.0 INTRODUCTION This report constitutes the environmental inven- tory mandated under CAFRA. It aims to take stock of I ~~~~~the diverse resources, problems, and opportunities of New Jersey's coast. This introduction defines the role of the inventory in the CAFRA process and explains the I ~~~~~status of related aspects of the State's coastal zone management program. The CAFRA statute entrusted the Department of I ~~~~~Environmental Protection (DEP) with both planning and land use regulatory responsibilities for a carefully delineated 1,376 square mile "coastal area" that I ~~~~~stretches from Raritan Bay and Sandy Hook along the Atlantic Ocean coastline around Cape May and up the Delaware estuary to near the Delaware Memorial Bridge. This varied coastal area, indicated in Figure I, includes pristine barrier beaches, decaying urban resort centers, sprawling, leapfrogging suburban subdi- visions, valuable, specialized agricultural lands, and unique pine barrens. At some points the statutory coastal area reaches 24 miles inland. This inventory is the first milestone in the planning process for this coastal area. The next steps in the planning process mandated by the CAFRA statute are preparation of alternative management strategies by September 1976 and selection of a plan or environmental design for the coastal area by September 1977. I ~~~~~~Program development grants under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and I ~~~~Atmospheric Administration, assist in funding DEP's coastal planning. This federal statute authorizes grants to coastal states for a three-year effort to develop a management program for each state's coastal zone. The substantive tasks, requirements, and time- frame for the federally-funded coastal planning effort are compatible with the mandate of CAFRA. The geo- I ~~~~graphic scope of the coastal zone for planning purposes under the federal grant is, however, broader than the legislatively-defined "coastal area" under CAFRA. All 17 New Jersey counties with tidal or saline waters are included in this study zone, as indicated in Figure II. This report, therefore, includes facts, issues, and information pertinent to the 17-county coastal zone and the entire state, but focuses necessarily an the 3 ~~~~~statutory CAFRA "coastal area."

It is important to stress, however, that the process of inventorying the coastal area is an ever continuous task due to the dynamic quality of the built and natural environment. The on-going process of examining the coastal area and maintaining an up-to-I date inventory is vital for making sound plans. This report is intended and expected to be widelyI used by those agencies, organizations, and individuals with an interest in the coastal zone. We invite users of this report to identify gaps, desirable additions, and suggested changes in the inventory.

Box 1390 Trenton, New Jersey 08625 (609)-292-8206 "411 ~~~@ 2.0 THE COASTAL AREA AT A GLANCE This section provides a succinct profile of New I. ~~~Jersey's coastal area, as defined by the Coastal Area Facility Review Act. It presents key facts concerning the geography, resources, and economy of this region. The coastal area is characterized as: ....comprising 1,376 square miles of New Jersey's 7,505 square mile land area, or 18% of the State and approximately 75% of the State's water area. ...extending from Raritan Bay south to Cape May and up the Delaware Bay, a shoreline distance of 273 miles. The 126 mile portion of Atlantic coastline is New Jersey's most valuable recreation resource. ....varying in width from several thousand feet in the Asbury Park area to almost 24 miles at the Mullica ....including portions of 8 of the 21 counties; including all or portions of 126 of New Jersey's 567 municipalities. ...accommodating approximately 700,000 year round residents, or nearly 10% of the total State p ~~~~~population. ...having areas with high population density. Densities in the barrier beach municipalities range up to 4,000 persons per square mile for permanent residents alone. With respect to natural resources: ...Approximately 40% of the coastal area consists of forest land. Oaks and pines are the most common species. Holly forests, found principally at Sandy Hook, Cape May, and Island Beach are unique to the region. ....New Jersey has notable agricultural activities. The State ranks second nationally in cultivated blueberry production and third in production of both tomatoes and cranberries. Each of these crops is a significant product of the coastal area. ....Coastal wetlands and associated shoal waters provide spawning and nursery areas for fish and shellfish. In addition, the 250,000 acres of wetlands include several fish and wildlife man- E, ~~~~agement areas and two federal wildlife refuges. A quarter million waterfowl winter in New Jersey's I ~~~~~coastal marshes, along with countless gulls, terns, and shorebirds. *.. The coastal area has an abundance of ground water. The underlying aquifers are a reliable water source for the southwestern and eastern coastal regions. With respect to the economy:I ...The largest industry in the coastal area, and the second largest in all of New Jersey, is the recre-I ation - resort industry which generates approxi- mately $3 billion annually in goods and services. More than twice as many people are employed in this industry in the summer, than in the winter. ...Much of the recreation is water oriented. Cur- rently 350,000 boats are owned by New JerseyI residents. Over 16,000 clamming licenses were issued this year. More than 40,000 waterfowl hunters and 600,000 crabbers use the coastal area as a recreational resource. The hunters alone spend nearly $5 million annually. ...New Jersey ranks 7th nationally in tonnage ofI commercial fish landings. In 1973, nearly 210 million pounds of fish worth over $18 million were caught. ...Two of the most popular shore parks are Island Beach State Park and Gateway National Park at Sandy Hook. These facilities combined receive over 1,350,000 visitors annually. ...As of 1970, over 85,000 homes were built to accommodateI seasonal residents. Roughly one half of the housing units in Cape May County consists of such vacation homes. ...The coastal area has enjoyed prosperity in the last decade. Over one half of New Jersey's authorized residential construction in the earlyI 1970's was located there. ...The coastal area has experienced a rapid influx of permanent residents. Ocean County alone nearly doubled in population between 1960 and 1970, in part because 80% of the State's retirement com- munities are in this county. A significant portion of coastal area residents are senior citizens. They constitute more than a quarter of the State's senior citizen population. 6~~~~~. The following facts also describe the coastal area: I ~~ ~ ~~... .Approximately 395,000 acres of estuarine waters are suitable for shellfish harvesting. However, 25% of these waters are either restricted or condemned because of high bacteriological counts. ....Nearly one quarter million acres of tidal wetlands exist today, but 25% of the State's total marsh area was destroyed during the 1950's and 1960's. This trend of destruction was reversed through the implementation of the New Jersey Wetlands Act of 1970. ....Approximately 44 miles of sand dunes stabilize New Jersey's beaches. Half of these dunes need repair to prevent significant shoreline erosion. ....Moratoria on new construction exist in 19 coastal I ~~~~~municipalities because of inadequate public sewerage. ...Housing options are also limited in coastal counties as 90% or more of the residential land is zoned for single-family housing. *~~~~~...Salt water intrusion into water-bearing aquifers is a major problem along the shoreline of many of the counties. ...Development on barrier beaches is extremely vulnerable to natural disaster. For example, a single major storm along the Ocean County coastline in 1962 I ~~~~~caused the total destruction of nearly 400 buildings, severe damage to another 900, and approximately $30 million worth of losses (1962 prices). I~~~~....Unemployment continues to be a serious problem. The current level in New Jersey is 13%, but Cape May County has unemployment rate of 18%. New Jersey's Coastal Zone Management Program is * ~~~~currently at the following stage: ....New Jersey is in the second year of a three-year federally funded grant program; $275,000 was received in Fiscal Year 1975 and $470,750 in Fiscal Year 1976. ....The federal grant provides funds for coastal I ~~~~~planning in all counties with tidal waters: 17 of New Jersey's 21. Excluded are Morris, Warren, Sussex, and Hunterdon counties. I.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`1 *The Department of Community Affairs, the Depart- ment of Labor and Industry, and Rutgers University- Marine Sciences Center, have undertaken assignments to assist the Department of Environmental Protection in this coastal planning process. The Department of Environmental Protection is coordinating its planning efforts with a number of inter-state planning agencies, various state andI federal air, water, transportation, and other planning programs, and the coastal county planning boards. 3.0 ISSUES IN MANAGING THE COASTAL AREA I ~~~~~~Numerous pressures, opportunities, and problems * ~~~~face the coastal area and must be addressed in the development of a plan for the coastal area. Partici- pants from private organizations and public agencies at advisory conferences held by DEP in February 1975 and May 1975 as part of the coastal zone management program raised and discussed many of these issues. This section of the report sketches the complexity and depth of the identified demands and stresses placed upon New Jersey's coastal resources. It briefly defines and I ~~~~discusses several key issues in order to indicate the range of issues that constitute the agenda for coastal zone management. I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~11 3.1 Issue: Public Access to the Coast Significant sections of the 126 mile AtlanticI Ocean coast from Sandy Hook to Cape May Point are not accessible to the public despite various forms of pub- lic ownership of these lands. The sandy beaches alongI this coast include both lands flowed by the tide, known as riparian lands or tidelands, and the immediately adjacent, sandy coastal uplands. Public access toI these beaches is a complex issue for several reasons: (1) the pattern of mixed public and private coastline ownership, (2) the expanding concept of the public trust doctrine, (3) the public interest in reasonableI access to beaches and natural recreational resources, (4) respect for legitimate private property rights, (5) the expenditure of public funds for shore protectionI and (6) difficulties in striking the appropriate balance between local and state interests in this use of the coast. The State owns all riparian lands now or formerly flowed by the mean high tide, unless title has been conveyed to another owner by means of a riparian grant.I These lands are administered as a public trust for the support of the free public schools. Late in the 19th century and in the early 1900's the State made numerousI riparian grants along the Atlantic coastline to stimu- late development of the coastal area. Approximately one-third of the riparian lands along the Atlantic coast have been granted by the State. The following @ table presents the present status of tidelands owner- ship, by county, along the Atlantic coastline, in miles. Monmouth Ocean Atlantic Cape May Total Total Distance 26.2 42.7 17.1 34.6 120.6 Granted Distance 7.9 5.5 8.3 16.6 38.3 Private Grants 6.5 5.5 6.6 16.5 35.1 Municipal Grants 1.4 0 1.7 0.1 3.2 Ungranted Distance 18.3 37.2 8.8 18.0 82.3 NOTE: The total riparian distance of 120.6 miles does not include various inlets that are included in the fullI sweep of the 126 mile Atlantic coast. This table is based on data obtained from the Division of marine Services, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Access to beaches is further complicated by the diverse ownership of lands immediately upland from riparian lands. The following table approximately presents the status of shoreline ownership along the Atlantic coastline: 111011~~~~~~~ Owner M i e Private 32.6 26.3 I. ~~~~~Public-Local 63.0 50.8 Public-State 14.0 11.4 Public-Federal 14.2 11.5 123.8 100% NOTE: This table is based on data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Ocean Survey (1971). The total distance does not include certain inlets. Public access to numerous beaches along the New Jersey coast is presently subject to both de jure and de facto restrictions. A beach is defined here as t-hose lands flowed by the tide and the adjacent sandy uplands that together constitute a natural area for outdoor recreation. An open beach is defined as a beach whose use is legally open to the general public, I ~~~~either without charge or for a reasonable and non-dis- criminatory beach fee, and is physically accessible directly from a public right-of-way or easement, either streets, paths, sidewalks, promenades, or parking I ~~~~areas. Beach clubs with discriminatory or unreasonable membership requirements are not considered open beaches. Approximately 11% of the beaches along the Atlantic I ~~~~coast are not "open beaches" according to the above definition. Furthermore, public access to even so- called "open beaches" may be subject to de facto restrictions as a result of municipal policy and action, such as: (1) limitations on on-street parking, (2) insufficient parking spaces, (3) anti-disrobing and other ordinances which have the effect of limiting I ~~~~access, (4) lack of changing facilities, (5) lack of public sanitary facilities, and (6) inadequate public * ~~~~transportation. To increase public access to the coast, and par- ticularly to its beaches, the State is pursuing four courses of action. First, public access is a condition of DEP's state aid share protection grants. Second, public access to and use of beaches is a condition of DEP's CAPRA permits for oceanfront projects which I ~~~~include the creation of so-called "private beaches." Third, the Attorney General is initiating litigation against municipalities that charge unreasonable and I ~~~~inequitable beach fees. Fourth, the Department of the Public Advocate has initiated litigation against pri- vate property owners and a municipality over the issue of restricted access across the uplands to the public trust-riparian lands. I~~~~~~~~~~~~l 3.2 Issue: Recreation Tourism, resorts, and associated private and public recreation facilities and services constitute the State's second largest and the coastal area's most important industry. A high quality coastal environmentI is necessary to preserve and expand this segment of the economy. New Jersey's beaches are one of its most valuable assets for recreation. Yet, several beach andI shore related recreation issues must be considered. First, the shore itself must be protected from erosion, flooding, and natural disasters. Second,I public access to beaches is restricted along portions of the Atlantic coastline for numerous reasons. Third, the decline of certain urban coastal resort centersI wastes previous public and private capital investments and results in further social, economic, and human resource problems. Fourth, coastal recreation requiresI good coastal water quality, otherwise swimming, scuba diving, sport fishing, boating and other water-related recreational activities cannot take place. Fifth, some coastal-dependent and water-dependent recreationalI activities require use of the shoreline. Several additional recreation issues concern the coastal area in general. For example, appropriate balances must be struck between public and private, active and passive, and individual and group recre- ational activities. The physical and legal acces- sibility of recreational facilities must be considered. Provision for adequate private open space and recre- ation facilities within new residential projects mayI also help meet the recreation needs of residents of the coastal area. 111211~~~~~~~ 3.3 Issue: Energy Facility Siting I. ~~~~~Energy siting demands for New Jersey's coast include onshore and offshore projects. Ultimately the offshore projects will create stress situations on- shore. The three principal proposed offshore projects are Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) oil and gas explo- ration and development, deepwater ports and a floating I ~~~~nuclear power plant. Likely onshore projects include new nuclear power plants and liquified natural gas * ~~~~~terminals and processing plants. To help DEP better carry out its responsibilities for coastal planning for the future location of energy facilities, the Department has initiated a proposed "Call for Information" requesting energy industries, government agencies, and others to provide energy facilities siting information. A proper balance must I ~~~~~be struck between energy needs and other potential land uses in the coastal zone. The requested information will enable DEP to base its coastal energy facilities I ~~~~~planning on a meaningful dialogue as to principles, criteria, and hard facts. DEP will review and ag- gregate the information received and publish an esti- mate of the likely energy facility demands on the coastal area. The beginning of OCS exploration is imminent. A I. ~~~~lease sale of offshore tracts is scheduled by the U.S. Department of the Interior for the Spring of 1976. Recent estimates have significantly revised downward the amount of oil and gas which may be recoverable from the areas off New Jersey. The long term onshore impact on the New Jersey coast is difficult to predict until the size of the offshore oil and gas fields is determined. Even if only relatively small fields are dis- covered, two key issues must be addressed: the lo- cation of staging-supply areas and conflicts between offshore energy development and the natural and built environment. Cape May, Atlantic City, and the Atlantic Highlands have been suggested by the oil industry as suitable for staging areas. If any of these areas is used, there will be competition with boating, swimming and other recreational uses of the water. Supply vessels for the offshore fields may compete with commercial fishing vessels and pleasure craft for dock and supply facilities and cause marine traffic prob- lems. The secondary impacts of staging areas are also important, including temporary intensive demands for * ~~~~housing and other services which can inflate the local U~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~111 economy, creating hardships for local residents. Staging areas located away from population centers may conflict with preservation of fragile wetlands. OCS exploration and development may adversely affect the commercial fishing industry, due to the potential for oil spills and the location of drilling rigs near primeI fishing grounds. Increased shortages of natural gas in recent years have led utilities to seek alternative sources ofI energy supply, including liquified natural gas (LNG). This form of energy is natural gas which has been cooled to temperatures of minus 2650F, is therebyI liquified and may then be transported in specially designed ships. Ultimately the liquid gas is warmed and transformed back into a gaseous state. Two sitesI along the New Jersey shore of the Delaware River have been proposed for an LNG docking terminal and pro- cessing plant. These sites will have some impact on coastal wetlands. Safety considerations are of a paramount concern with LNG because of existing heavy petrochemical-tanker traffic on the Delaware River and the potential for explosion. Several basic questionsI must be addressed concerning the siting of LNG f a- cilities in the coastal area. How will the LNG ter- minals affect wetlands? What degree of safety is needed to prevent major accidents? Should State policy encourage concentration of these facilities on the coast or insist on separation of LNG ship terminals and the processing plants? Finally, what are the environ- @ mental, social, and economic costs involved for each alternative. The federal Deepwater Ports Act of 1974 gives the U.S. Department of Transportation licensing and regu- latory authority over deepwater ports. Deepwater ports became a major issue in the State when a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers study recommended two locations off New Jersey as suitable for such ports. More recently, the U.S. Congress Office of Technology Assessment hasI informally considered a third site off Ocean County. Major legal questions are involved in a deepwaterI port project. The pertinent federal act gives a governor of an "adjacent state" a veto over the con- struction of pipelines connecting a deep water port to onshore storage facilities. The federal Submerged Lands Act of 1953 also gives the states control over the ocean bottom, out to 3 miles from shore, where oil pipelines to the port would cross. (The federalI Natural Gas Act of 1938, however, denies state control with respect to natural gas pipelines.) Deepwater ports would keep super tankers far offshore, where groundings ~~~14 and collisions would be minimized. If leaks in the connecting pipeline occurred, it is unclear how quickly I. ~~~~this pollution problem could be solved. The location of tank farms to store the oil from the port is another * ~~~~key land use issue. The coastal area already hosts one operating nuclear power facility at Oyster Creek, another is I ~~~~under construction at Artificial Island, and a CAFRA permit application was recently conditionally approved for a third, known as Hope Creek Station, also at Artificial Island on the Delaware River. A floating nuclear facility, with reactors surrounded by a break- water, has been proposed for an offshore site near Atlantic City. Nuclear energy facilities raise numerous sig- nificant issues, including the disposal of radioactive waste and thermal effluent, radiation-safety problems, U ~~~~and aesthetic considerations. in addition, a floating nuclear plant presents special safety problems, par- ticularly in the design of the breakwater surrounding the reactors. Finally, the broad implications of the growth in the coastal area which will inevitably result from the construction of there energy facilities must be considered. 3.4 Issue: Economic Development The scarce and irreplaceable natural resources of 0 the coastal area must be balanced with the economic development requirements both of citizens who live inI the area and of the general public. The simple solu- tion of "no growth" does not appear to be a reasonable alternative, nor, at the other extreme, does the obliteration of all natural resources in the coastalI area. Instead, CAFRA charges DEP with striking a sensitive balance between environmental protection and economic development. Several specific economic growth questions must be answered: how much growth and what kind at what locations? Some coastal counties, for example, seek a wider economic base, while others are less concerned with expansion. The question of seasonal employment is of great concern, as is the larger question of un-I employment and resulting social problems that result from low incomes. The coastal counties face important economic problems. Median family income is more than a thousand dollars less in those counties than in the state as a whole; the dollar value per acre in 1973 was less thanI a fifth of the average for the state as a whole; labor force participation is 8 percent less in coastal counties. The proportion of population receiving 6 welfare payments is 20 percent higher than the rest of the state. Economic activity in the coastal area, as indi-I cated by employment, is quite similar to the rest of the state. Manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, and construction are the industries with the largestI labor force. Agriculture and fishing do not exceed 2 percent in any of the coastal counties. Other major economic generators in the coastal area may be classified into the following categories: tourism/recreation, extraction and related glass industry, retirement communities, energy facilities, and military bases. Each category raises its own set of economic development issues. Tourism/Recreation are principal components of the economy of most of the CAFRA counties. Some resorts have national reputations. Commercial fishing is aI significant industry in Cape May, Atlantic, ocean and Monmouth counties. Clearly fishing and tourism/recre- ation are complimentary economic components. The possible future intrusion of OCS staging areas into theis 111611~~~~~~~ CAFRA counties may upset the established tourism and fishing industries, through pollution and competition for land. Tourism and fishing depend upon a high quality natural environment, while the economic vi- ability of some Outer Continental Shelf activities is independent of such concerns. Unfortunately, jobs directly connected to the resort/tourist industry are among the least secure and the worst paid. The median I ~~~earnings of workers in ''eating and drinking places,' "hotels and lodging places," and "entertainment and recreation" were almost $3,000 less in New Jersey than I ~~~the median earnings of all employed workers. Moreover, employment is variable and seasonal. Less than 60 per- cent of those workers are employed full-time, compared * ~~~with almost 75 percent of all New Jersey workers. Retirement communities in Ocean County stimulate the expansion of health care services and facilities I ~~~and services. The construction industry is also closely tied to the retirement community and second home industries. The construction of residential development can give a false impression of prosperity in the beginning but, once completed and occupied, these developments may make no more contribution to the economy of the area than comes from the increase in I ~~~population. Retirement communities are an even more doubtful economic boon because their residents are likely to be recipients of fixed incomes that do not increase with inflation. The federal government through its military presence at Fort Monmouth (Army), Lakehurst and Earle (Navy), and Cape May (Coast Guard) adds a substantial infusion of civilian jobs, either on the bases or in supporting commercial and industrial concerns. Addi- I ~~~tionally, sewage effluents are added to the coastal area by these installations. Fluctuations in levels of civilian and military jobs at Fort Monmouth, for I ~~~example, has proved to be a prime concern to the economic stability of Monmouth County. Light manufacturing also accounts for substantial I ~~~numbers of jobs in the coastal area. Computer software and electronic component firms located in Monmouth County are often dependent upon federal government contracts and thus job levels are again subject to fluctuation. Open land preservation for agriculture is a vital I ~ ~~concern in southeast Burlington County where large harvests of blueberries and cranberries are realized. I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~111 Additionally, truck farming in Salem County is a major industry. Construction of new housing and agriculture may provide intensely competing and conflicting uses for open space. A delicate balance must be struck between environmental concerns and the economic vitality of the coastal area. 3.5 Issue: State Land Use and Environmental Controls * ~~~~~New Jersey already possesses numerous legal tools for coastal zone management in the form of specialized environmental statutes. Adequate state control over land and water uses is essential for implementing a coastal area plan. The State presently regulates land I ~~~~use in the coastal area under the authority of three statutes: The Coastal Area Facilities Review Act of 1973 (CAFRA), the Wetlands Act of 1970, and the Ri- parian Lands statutes. These statutes can restrict development in certain areas of the coast. All three laws are limited in that they can only direct develop- ment into certain areas by their power to deny construc- tion permits in other parts of the coastal area. The Coastal Area Facilities Review Act (CAFRA) is I ~~~~the lead statute on land use regulation for the coast. Questions confronting CAFRA include: (1) the rela- tionship of municipal zoning authority to the statute, (2) controlling the stresses on the coastal area caused by residential and commercial construction immediately outside the statutory boundary of CAFRA, (3) the to what degree may the use of land be controlled without I ~~~~the regulation becoming a taking of land without just compensation, and (4) in the absence of a comprehensive land use law, how are municipalities split by the CAFRA boundary to plan for development? The State already possesses direct and indirect forms of land use authority, but the principal basis of I ~~~~land use authority still resides in zoning power delegated to municipalities. The system of local land use regulation by local planning and zoning has changed I ~~~~little since its inception in the late 1920's and early 1930's. This system provides for the adoption of master plans and zoning ordinances by municipalities. The use districts controlling land uses and types of structures by the stipulation of area, height, and setback limitations that constitute the mechanism of this system may not of themselves meet or address I ~~~~adequately the land use issues faced today. Ulti- mately, land use problems and comprehensive coastal planning can best be solved and effectuated by a I ~~~~municipal-state cooperative relationship. 3.6 Issue: Housing New Jersey currently faces a critical housing shortage. Although no state-wide housing plan exists, housing problems and goals have been articulated from the executive, legislative and judicial perspectives.I Recently the New Jersey Supreme Court addressed the issue of housing responsibility in a regional context. Housing issues which are of concern to the CAFRA area include: (1) seasonal versus year-round housing needs, (2) restricted housing choice and variety, (3) senior citizens housing and retirement communities, (4) urban housing needs, (5) regional housing responsibility andI (6) housing costs. The existing seasonal character of land use in the CAFRA municipalities offers no relief to year round residents seeking new and better shelter. Seasonal housing in the coastal zone is concentrated along the barrier beaches and bayshore communities. Residents seeking year round housing adjacent to the shore and ocean front must seek housing elsewhere. Conversion of seasonal to year round dwellings places a burden onI smaller municipalities which must now cope with sharply increased population and demand for municipal services. Small, single-family, owner-occupied dwelling units are needed to accommodate the housing needs of two growing age groups: those in the household formation years of 20-34 throughout the coastal area @ and those 35 years or older in Monmouth, Cape May and Ocean counties. This need is exacerbated by zoning ordinances that require large minimum dwelling and lotI sizes, which have the effect of limiting the construc- tion of small, single family dwellings. Increased rental housing is needed in Cumberland, Monmouth and Cape May counties. Mobile and modular houses con- stitute another housing option for families, although this building type poses special land use and municipal services problems in some coastal communities. Some resident senior citizens are unable to compete in the housing market with other age groups. Further, there is a distinct market for retirement homes. The rapid growth of retirement communities in the coastal area has placed substantial burdens upon the local and regional services and facilities, es-I pecially those related to health needs. The New Jersey Supreme Court, in a recent ruling generally referred to as the Mount Laurel Decision, held that'a "developing" municipality must provide an opportunity, through its zoning, for the development of its fair share of housing for low and moderate income families within the community. Many CAFRA communities 11201 may be classified as "developing" municipalities. This decision has raised numerous questions which must be I. ~~~~answered in considering regional housing responsi- bility. What is the region? How is it defined? How does it change? What is fair share? What regional needs must the municipality meet? Must the desire to live in a more attractive community be accommodated? Must a community provide housing within that community for workers who live outside? To what degree may envi- ronmental, fiscal capacity, and job opportunity con- cerns be considered in defining a developing muni- cipality's regional housing responsibility? The needed rehabilitation of housing units in urban centers in the CAFRA counties is an immediate issue, given the concentration of the bulk of coastal population and housing stock in these centers. Both minor as well as major improvements in existing housing I ~~~~are needed. The areas in need in urban centers vary from one concentrated neighborhood to pockets of decay * ~~~~scattered throughout a city. As a result of the housing crisis in New Jersey, many households cannot afford the housing units cur- rently on the market. Hardest hit by the spiraling cost of housing are families with low incomes. Without subsidies, the housing industry is not capable of developing new units which can be offered at rents which these families can reasonably afford. The availability of money to purchase the housing I ~~~~is a closely related issue. Potential home-buyers obtain mortgages with great difficulty and at high interest rates. -In addition to social impacts, the coastal area may also experience adverse environmental impacts as the result of increasing housing costs. While some socio-economic groups may be forced out of the region due to increased housing costs, they may I ~~~~commute back to job centers within the region, re- sulting in increases in energy consumption and po- tential air pollution problems. 1"211" 3.7 Issue: Marine Resources New Jersey's principal marine resource is the recreational and commercial fishing industry. Fish- eries resources are potentially capable of infinite renewal when proper management techniques are employed. The variety and quantity of fish species off New Jersey's coast make it one of the more fertile and profitable areas of a highly productive Atlantic Coast.I Unfortunately several user conflicts now threaten the vitality of this resource. Overfishing by domestic and foreign trawler fleets in international waters andI competition between sport and commercial fishermen for dwindling numbers of fish demand positive management initiatives. Poor water quality due to ocean waste disposal in areas off Sandy Hook, popularly known as the "Dead Sea," may pose a continuing threat to the fisheries.I The issue of unregulated fishing of certain fish stocks by out-of-state, New Jersey, and sport fishermen also must be considered. Overfishing may endanger the economic vitality of the following species: menhaden, striped bass, fluke, flounder, porgy, lobsters, scal- lops, and crabs. '12211~~~e 3.8 Issue: Air Quality * ~~~~~Clean air is a basic valuable resource of the coastal area. Parts of the coast have the cleanest air I ~~~~in the state. Air quality varies throughout the coastal area; Monmouth and Middlesex counties, for example, do not meet the ambient air standards under the federal Clean Air Act. Air pollutants originate from numerous sources, especially motor vehicles, fossil-fuel electric plants and industrial operations. Petro-chemical complexes along the Arthur Kill, Raritan I ~~~~Bay, and Delaware River provide significant sources of pollutants which affect air quality in the coastal area. U ~~~~~Air quality is closely linked to urbanization. This accentuates the importance of the land use and transportation planning elements of coastal zone I ~~~~management, since, for example, increased use of public transportation systems reduces automobile emissions. Air quality planning aims at maintaining specified I ~~~~ambient air quality standards by using measures such as: implementing approved regional development plans, phasing-out or prohibiting emission sources, or en- * ~~~~couraging energy conservation measures. I.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~13 3.9 Issue: Transportation The present transportation system in the coastal area emphasizes the private automobile. The Garden State Parkway acts as a backbone for the Atlantic coast, serving as a commuter artery for industry andI commerce, as well as a landscaped connection among shore resort and recreation areas and between the coast and northern New Jersey. The expressway spur fromI South Brunswick to Toms River proposed by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority would further increase the accessibility of the coast for private automobiles, trucks, and buses, although the Turnpike Authority is exploring the option of using the proposed right-of-way for a mass transit system. The Atlantic City Express- way and other parallel and radiating highways from the Philadelphia-Camden metropolitan area funnel automobile traffic to the Jersey Shore. A new Interstate Highway, I-195, strikes east from Trenton towards Monmouth andI Ocean counties. The rising price of gasoline has, however, significantly raised the cost of transpor- tation, and particularly commuting, for coastal resi- dents. Some public transportation does serve the coastal area. Manhattan-oriented commuter rail service op-I erates in Monmouth County. Extremely limited rail service, connecting with the PATCO Lindenwold Line to Philadelphia, reaches Atlantic City, Tuckahoe, Ocean City, and Cape May. Regular inter-city bus service links Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic County communities with each other and with northern New Jersey and New York City. Similar bus service links the Philadelphia-I Camden metropolitan area with selected Atlantic County shore communities. Limited regular inter-city bus service does exist within Cape May County. OceanI County is proposing a county bus system to serve that rapidly developing region. Finally, some seasonal bus service links Trenton and other cities with several coastal resort and beach communities. This limited existing public transportation system is, however, increasingly inadequate to meet theI diverse transportation needs of coastal residents and other existing and potential users of the coast. Continued low density suburbanization makes certain modes of public transportation difficult to organize, operate, and sustain. A key issue is how to integrate land use and transportation planning to make convenient and efficient public transportation possible. Improved public transportation -- bus, rail and air -- could further stimulate and expand the vital tourism/resort economy of the coast, increase public access to theI area's natural resources, and conserve energy. 214t 3.10 Issue: Water Resources Water is an abundant resource in the coastal area, yet I ~~~several issues must still be addressed. First, the coastal water supply is largely groundwater and subject to con- tamination from salt-water intrusion, due to excessive withdrawals, and from solid waste leachate. Second, good water quality is a prerequisite to the vitality of the coast's major industry, recreation. For example, forced beach closings due to contaminated waters are an extreme, I ~~~but not uncommon symptom of poor water quality. The sewer connection bans currently in effect in several coastal counties also indicate the danger to water quality of further urbanization without adequate wastewater treatment facilities. Third, while new sewer systems will improve water quality, they may also stimulate new land development. I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~15 3.11 Issue: Land Land is a precious and finite resource, parti- cularly in the coastal area where the pressures of urbanization exert special stresses on a sensitive natural environment. The desired pace, extent, andI form of urbanization must be addressed in the process of coastal zone management, as much of the coastal area still remains undeveloped. Considerable coastal landI is covered by forests. Some vacant land should perhaps remain undeveloped in order to achieve other purposes such as farmland and open space preservation. Other undeveloped land should be converted to urban uses to meet the residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial needs of present and future coastal resi- dents. Finally, some built-up land may be suitable forI re-use or redevelopment to achieve specific objectives, such as revitalizing urban centers through intensive development of service sector jobs. The basic issue here is whether the land is to be abused in the short-term or used wisely for the long- term. In the short-term, the CAFRA permit program has provided a mechanism to protect planning options for certain coastal sites. As a result of denial of permit applications, alternative uses of these sites may beI considered or the applicant's proposed use of the site may be re-evaluated in the context of the comprehensive plan for the coastal area. In addition to a regulatory approach to preventing land abuse and protecting options, incentives may be a productive way of en- couraging sensitive use of land in the coastal area. 1126"~~~~~~~ 4.0 AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION DATA VALIDATION EXPERIMENT I. ~~~~~Coastal zone management requires using various facts of varying quality and from diverse sources to I ~~~~make decisions. The public and private participants involved in this decision-making process may, however, disagree on specific decisions. one reason for such disagreements may be a lack of agreement on the facts I ~~~~~themselves. The American Arbitration Association believes that if mediation and dispute settlement techniques are used at the beginning of a decision- I ~~~~~making process to achieve consensus an the validity of facts, or data, and the assumptions and constraints for their use, then later disagreement on decisions may well be easier to resolve. In cooperation with the Department of Environ- mental Protection, and under a grant from the Rockefeller I ~~~~~Foundation, the American Arbitration Association (AAA) is conducting an experiment in data validation to test the thesis that validated data will facilitate dispute settlement in environmental decision-making. This experiment is a supplementary, but integral component of DEP's coastal zone management program. The CAFRA statute mandated preparation of an inventory of the coastal area as a basic tool for coastal zone manage- ment decision-making. With AAA assistance and counsel, DEP has embarked upon a seven-step procedure to vali- I. ~~~~date the data entering this inventory. This data validation process includes the following steps: (1) Identify data to be gathered; (2) Identify the possible limitations, constraints * ~~~~~~~and proposed uses of the data; (3) Submit the data, with identified limitations, constraints, and proposed uses, to public I ~~~~~~~scrutiny for comment and validation by public agencies and private organizations with an interest in the coastal zone; I ~~~~~~(4) identify validated data; (5) Identify disputed data or disputed uses of data, attempt to achieve consensus on the data and its uses, and state clearly any agreed upon limitations or constraints on the data or its use; (6) Narrow the differences over disputed data or uses of data through mediation where con- sensus is impossible to achieve; 112711 (7) Label clearly the disputes over data or uses of data which cannot be resolved sufficiently for the data to be included in the inventory of validated data. DEP held the first data validation meeting on May 2, 1975, in Trenton, N.J. DEP staff presented severalI inventory items in nine general categories of data: Bathymetry, Flood Areas, Geology, Ground Water, Land Use, Slope, Soils, Tidal Wetlands, and Vegetation.I More than 70 representatives from public agencies and private organizations scrutinized the data, raised objections, and made comments. After tabulating theI data validation forms completed by these participants, reviewing their written comments, and analyzing the transcript of the meeting, DEP staff concluded, and AAA concurred, that the first data has been validated inI four categories: Soils, Geology, Tidal Wetlands, and Slope. Items submitted in three other categories -- Flood Areas, Bathymetry, and Ground Water -- did notI obtain consensus and are being submitted to a process of AAA data mediation. The items initially presented in the Land Use and Vegetation categories, together with additional items in those categories suggested by meeting participants, will be resubmitted for validation. Each item included in the inventory used by DEPI for coastal zone management will have its data validation status identified. Each Reference Profile in Section 5.0 of this report specifies, for example, whether the particular item is validated, submitted but pending, or not yet submitted to the data validation process. Some data will undoubtedly be used before it canI be validated, due to the time constraints facing the coastal zone management program. DEP is, however, committed to involving the public, through publicI agencies and private organizations, in deciding what and how data is to be used. As additional data is validated, this data will be included in the inventory of validated data. DEP also expects the American Arbitration Association to continue to play a mediatory role as DEP makes difficult and complex decisions in the process of coastal zone managment. 1"28" I 5.0 CATALOGUE OF THE NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT I. ~~~~~The coastal zone inventory is the backbone of the coastal zone management program. Materials in DEP's inventory include a wide range of items, from maps, photographs, and charts, to books, reports, studies, journals, microfiche, and computer-compatible media. This inventory contains hundreds of items, which are: I ~~~~(1) organized by general subject categories, (2) in- dexed using a card catalogue or automated system of reference indexing, and (3) located in DEP's Trenton or Toms River offices, or (4) located elsewhere but identified in the inventory index. This section of the report indicates the scope of these inventory materials and presents extensive samples of the most frequently consulted, pertinent, and helpful items. This catalogue thus constitutes a basic, working inventory of information useful for coastal resource decision-making. DEP's inventory information is organized by I ~~~~subject categories. These categories range from generalized planning tools (eg. AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY; PLANNING, COASTAL ZONE) to specific aspects of the I ~~~~natural environment (eg., GEOLOGY, WILDLIFE) and the built environment (eg., LAND-USE, SOCIAL). As in- ventory preparation is a continuing process, additional I. ~~~items will be added to the inventory in each subject category as they are identified. Further subject categories will be added as the need arises. A com- plete list of the present subject categories follows: Aerial Photography, Agriculture, Air Resources, Bath- ymetry, Economic, Energy, Environmental Impact State- ments, Fisheries, Flood Plains, Geology, Information I ~~~~System, Land Use, Legal, Natural Resource Studies, Noise, oceanography, Outer Continental Shelf, Plan- ning - Coastal Zone, Planning - General, Political, Recreation, Reference Works, Social, Soils, Solid Waste, Topography, Transportation, Vegetation, Water Resources, Wildlife, and Wetlands. I ~~~~~Sample inventory items for most subject categories are described in "Reference Profile" sheets that constitute this section of the report. Each sheet I ~~~~includes a citation, abstract, the status of data validation, uses and constraints of the inventory item in coastal zone management, and an 8�2" x 11" excerpt of a sample of the item, if appropriate. Where to find the inventory item, or its location, is also identified on the "Reference Profile" sheet. 1129" Of particular interest to potential users are the symbols "DEP/CZM" and "DEP/Toms River Office."

DATA VALIDATION STATUS: Not Submitted. USE IN COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: The Drainage Basin Maps are useful for detailed hydrologic analysis, such as estimating peak stages and discharges in nontidal areas. This provides data for planning of water supply, ground water recharge, flood control, runoff and sediment load. CONSTRAINTS FOR COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: The Drainage Basin Maps are hand-drawn on the U.S.G.S. topo print and are not reproducible.

DEP, Division of Fish, Game and Shellfisheries LOCATION: DEP/Division of Fish, Game and Shellfisheries ABSTRACT: Coastal surveys were completed for all the tidal marshes of New Jersey to determine the effects of filling and diking on this valuable resource. From a total of 263,051 acres of tidal marshes, 61,678 acres (23.5%) has been lost to filling and diking in the past twenty years (1953 to 1973). The study defined the forces at work destroying these marshes, the extent of damage by county, and recommended ways to reduce future losses. DATA VALIDATION STATUS: Not Submitted USE IN COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: This report described the amount and causes of destruction of wetlands. Almost one quarter of the state's tidal wetlands have been lost. These are extremely valuable areas which must be protected to insure continuation of recreation, commercial, ecological activities upon which much of the coastal zone depends.

The maps I ~~cover the wetlands of the following counties: Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester, Camden and Mercer. I ~~~Each map indicates the landward limit of the wetlands plus delineation of separate species and species associations, following p ~~the vegetation and elevation criteria outlines in the law. .The maps are black and white enlargements of 9"x9" frames of infra-red photography which meet national map accuracy standards. The finished photomap is at a scale of 1:2400. The series is complete. DATA VALIDATION STATUS: I ~~~Validated I ~~USE IN COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: Maps delineate coastal wetlands, an important natural resource in the coastal area. Maps also show detailed land use for located * ~~area (approximatelylI square mile of map). Good for site analysis.

DEP, (1973 and continuing) LOCATION: I ~~~DEP/CZM 3 ~ABSTRACT: The bulk of the riparian mapping will involve annotations to the existing wetlands base maps. These photomaps cover tidal marshes through- out the CAFRA area. A series of overlays will be prepared to show lands now or formerly below the mean high water line as well as certain biological, engineerng, cartographic, and historical data. Photomaps are 1:2400. With the exception of the photo maps in the I ~Hackensack marshes, and the Newark-Elizabeth map, no riparian mapping has been done. This work is expected to be completed by 1980. DATA VALIDATION STATUS: * ~~~Not Submitted USE IN COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: I ~~~Determination of ownership patterns is important to coastal zone management. Often private owners of adjacent lands need permits or grants to gain clear passage to waterways through these state-owned I ~lands. Riparian lands often support valuable marsh grasses. Thus they should be viewed as a natural resource and a political instrument. The series of overlays and the photomaps will show * ~land use changes locally. CONSTRAINTS FOR COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: I ~~~The scale is' to large for a regional view. The work will not be completed in time for total incorporation of data into the planning probess.

Division of I ~~~Fish, Game and Shellfisheries (1974) 5pp LOCATION: I ~~~DEP/Division of Fish, Game and Shellfisheries * ~~ABSTRACT: Five maps have been produced that locate wintering waterfowl population and distribution for the entire State of New Jersey. This information was obtained through aerial surveys and discriminates between puddle and diving ducks, geese, and brant. Concentration levels are shown along with movement and changes in location. The maps are at a scale of 1:316,000. Series of charts are complete for September through January 1974. DATA VALIDATION STATUS: Not Submitted I ~~USE IN COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: Approximately three million waterfowl migrate into New Jersey's coastal area each year. For some species such as brant, New Jersey represents the prime wintering area for the eastern population. These charts locate major waterfowl use areas. Waterfowl are important to the ecology, and for recreational activities such as hunting and bird watching. There are approximately 40,000 waterfowl hunters in New * ~~Jersey. CONSTRAINTS FOR COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT: * ~~~Aerial surveys were not made of smaller inland areas, some species, such as wood ducks and mallards, would therefore be underestimated. Localized concentrations should not be construed as the only areas utilized by waterfowl; flocks will move depending on conditions.

While it represents completion of one statutory requirement, this report does not signal the end of the process of I ~~~~issue definition and information identification. Rather, these essential tasks will continue as the elements of a plan for the coastal area take shape over the next two years. The CAFRA statute mandated a four-year planning process and did not impose an interim moratorium on I ~~~~land development. Instead, it authorized a system of land use regulation by permit for this special part of the state. As a result of experience with the CAFRA I ~~~~permit program, DEP is preparing an interim plan, in the form of land use and density guidelines, to be released well ahead of the September 1977 date for * ~~~~selection of a final plan for the coastal area. Elements of the interim plan should be available in early 1976 and will be applied through the permit I ~~~~program. The interim plan will then be evaluated and revised as DEP devises the alternative management strategies scheduled to be presented to the Governor I. ~~~and Legislature in September 1976. Finally, by Sep- tember 1977, the Commissioner of Environmental Pro- tection will, as required by law, select a management strategy for the coastal area. This will culminate a four-year planning effort that should help insure that the natural and built environment of the New Jersey coast will serve the diverse needs of today's citizens as well as those of future generations.
