FEMA 100 year Flood + 3ft To aid in planning purposes, a GIS layer mapping the recommended 3' above the existing 1% Annual Chance/100 year FEMA Floodplain was generated. The layer was generated using geospatial analysis on ArcMap. The A and AE zones were extracted from the FEMA FIRM layers (best available downloaded in 2020 and 2021). The existing elevation was extracted from the USGS NED 3m DEM (digital elevation model NAVD 88) along the FEMA mapped boundary. This elevation was incremented by 3 feet and extrapolated spatially outward using the ARCMAP Spatial Analyst EXPAND function. This adjusted elevation map was compared with the DEM to identify where it equated the terrain elevation. The area between this new boundary and the existing floodplain boundary was classified as the + 3ft zone, i.e., the area that would be inundated by 3' of additional flood height. The resulting map layer was then filtered using a 5x5 majority smoothing function to remove “salt and pepper” and smooth boundaries.

SLOSH Cat 1-4 The Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model is a computerized numerical model developed by the National Weather Service (NWS) to estimate storm surge heights resulting from historical, hypothetical, or predicted hurricanes by taking into account the atmospheric pressure, size, forward speed, and track data. Maximum of Maximum or Maximum of MEOWs (MOM) SLOSH data is used. A MEOW is defined as a Maximum Envelope of Water, which is generated by compositing several hypothetical SLOSH runs, each of which has the same category, forward speed and direction. This process results in a SLOSH grid that can be compared to the elevation grid. Digital elevation data is collected and an elevation surface created.

Combined Sewer System Outfall Sites This is a geographical representation of the locations of CSO outfall points statewide. Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) are sewers that are designed to collect rainwater runoff, domestic sewage, and industrial wastewater in the same pipe. Most of the time, combined sewer systems transport all of their wastewater to a sewage treatment plant, where it is treated and then discharged to a water body. During periods of heavy rainfall or snowmelt, however, the wastewater volume in a combined sewer system can exceed the capacity of the sewer collection system or treatment plant.This map data layer provides information regarding the location of permitted CSO Outfall Points, the applicable NJPDES Permit number, the assigned 3-digit discharge serial number, the latitude and longitude, the alternate name (such as a street address) of the CSO point, the municipality and Watershed Management Area (WMA) where the CSO outfall is located, a unique identifier for each point consisting of the permit number and outfall number, the receiving waterbody, the receiving treatment plant name and permit number, if the CSO outfall has solids and floatable treatment, a link for Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) data, and a website.

Known Contaminated Sites Note: This dataset is updated daily. The Known Contaminated Sites List (KCSNJ) for New Jersey are those sites and properties within the state where contamination of soil or ground water has been confirmed at levels equal to or greater than applicable standards. This list of Known Contaminated Sites may include sites where remediation is either currently under way, required but not yet initiated or has been completed. The KCSLNJ layer has now been modified such that the information portrayed in the GIS layer is updated on a daily basis through a SQL query of NJEMS/Masterfile. Generating the KCSL GIS layer on a daily basis via an SQL query allows for a dynamic KCSL layer. This is critical for the general public and SRP regulated community by allowing them to see the most up to date information for a known contaminated site in a GIS format via NJ Geoweb.A "live" KSCNJ report can also be viewed via Data Miner at: 1) Go to https://www13.state.nj.us/DataMiner 2) Select Search by Category 3) Select Site Remediation then Submit 4) Under General, select The Known and Suspected Sites by County for a listing of Known Contaminated Sites by County. Information concerning individual contaminated sites can be viewed via other dataminer reports based on the Site ID or the SRP Preferred Interest # for the SRP case associated with that site. A small number of sites in the KCSL have no X/Y coordinates as of this date and therefore are not included in the GIS version. These sites do appear on the above in the tabular reports. Coordinates for the GIS version of the KSCL were largely "front door" locations acquired via "address matching" or which is an approximation of the facility front door. Many of these locations were also gathered by the Department using GPS and although these tend to be much more accurate, mistakes are sometimes made. Current protocol for assigning site locations defer to the center of the site or center of facility. Since errors can occur, users are encouraged to notify BIS of any these or any other inaccuracies in the KCSNJ through email to srpgis@dep.nj.gov. For guidance in how to report errors see the 'Supplemental Information' section below.

EPA Cleanup Sites Accidents, spills, leaks, and past improper disposal and handling of hazardous materials and wastes have resulted in tens of thousands of sites across our country that have contaminated our land, water (groundwater and surface water), and air (indoor and outdoor). EPA and its state and territorial partners have developed a variety of cleanup programs to assess and, where necessary, clean up these contaminated sites. CIMC (www.epa.gov/cimc) brings together the data from many of these cleanup programs and lets people map, list and access cleanup progress profiles for sites across the US so that people can know what is going on in their communities. The CIMC web service provides access to the mapping component of the CIMC web application. The Cleanups in My Community (CIMC) web service contains the following map layers: Incidents of National Significance (from the epa.gov website) – with links to the relevant web pages, Superfund NPL sites (propose, final and deleted)(from CERCLIS – soon to be SEMS) – with links to the cleanup profiles, RCRA Corrective Action Sites (by various cleanup categories)(2020 baseline facilities only, not all RCRA sites because RCRA sites that are not corrective action are not cleanups)(from RCRAInfo) – with links to the cleanup profiles, Brownfields Properties (by grant type)(from ACRES) – with links to the cleanup profiles, Brownfields Grant jurisdictions (polygons)(from ACRES) – with links to the grant information, Federal facilities that are also Superfund or RCRA CA sites and BRAC (from the epa.gov page for federal facilities), Recovery Act locations (for Superfund and Brownfields only) (from CERCLIS and ACRES), Emergency removals (from EPAOSC.net). For context we also include: American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian (AIANNH) Areas (US Census), Congressional Districts (113th Congressional District TIGER/Line Shapefiles 2010), Impaired Waters – with links to additional data (OW web service), NPDES permitted facilities (US EPA WATERS mapping service) – with links to Waters, Water Monitoring Stations (US EPA STORET) – with links to monitoring data, Air Non-attainment areas for 7 categories (US EPA/OAR web service),Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) sites (US EPA TRI database) – with links to US EPA Envirofacts reports.

Brownfield Inventory of New Jersey The Brownfield Inventory is a subset of sites from the Known Contaminated Sites List (KCSL) for New Jersey. The Office of Brownfield & Community Revitalization staff vetted and determined each site on the Brownfield Inventory to be a brownfield site. As defined by the USEPA, a brownfield site is "real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant." In other words, brownfield sites are abandoned, idled, or underused industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination. This inventory exclusively looks at non-residential properties. While the KCSL dataset is updated daily, the Brownfield Inventory is updated on an as-needed basis. Phase 1 of the Brownfield Inventory exclusively includes brownfield sites in Opportunity Zones in Community Collaborative Initiative municipalities. Phase 2 of the Brownfield Inventory includes all brownfield sites within Community Collaborative Initiative municipalities. Future phases will expand upon this work. Maps DEP NJ DEP EPA Cleanup Sites

Estimated Lead Service Lines by Water Service Area This dataset shows the estimated number of lead service lines in each drinking water system's service area. The lead service line data is originally from NJDEP and it is accessible through Jersey WaterCheck through the metric: “Number of drinking water service lines reported to be made of or contain lead (system-level).” Note that these numbers are self-reported by utilities and many are estimates rather than precise values. Lead Service Lines by Water Service Area Map Service Jersey Water Check Similar to the layer that indicates water systems with lead action level exceedances, this is a relevant water risk layer. Areas with the highest numbers of lead service lines deal with drinking water risk that would exacerbate water risks in a given area.
Water Supply Parameters The Assessment Unit (AU) Level Water Supply Assessment Results incorporates the water quality results for all monitoring stations associated within an AU that is included in the 2016 NJ Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (Integrated Report). This data represents the assessment results in NJ's 817 AUs with fresh water to determine if the Water Supply designated use was attained and the results for the 47 water quality parameters associated with the designated use. If an AU includes more than one station, the results for each parameter are combined with the ‘worst case’ station assessment representing the AU. That is if any of the stations are impaired for a parameter, then the parameter is impaired at the AU level. If some stations are fully attaining for a parameter but others have insufficient data, the parameter is fully attaining. The data reflects which of three assessment results each assessment was assigned: Attaining- Fully Supporting, Insufficient Data- Insufficient data was available to assess, Non-Attaining- Non-Supporting. Because of the large number of parameters associated with Water Supply, if a parameter had insufficient data for an assessment throughout the state then the parameter was removed from the file. The result was a reduction from 65 parameters to 47 parameters that had sufficient data for an assessment.

Affordability Stress by Water Service Area This dataset shows the percentage of households in each drinking water system's service area that may have difficulty paying water and sewer bills in the absence of subsidies. This metric is based on research from "A New Jersey Affordability Methodology and Assessment for Water and Sewer Utility Costs" (Van Abs, 2021) comparing 2020 water and sewer rates for both systems to the income of households at the top of the lowest quintile (20th percentile) of household incomes for each area, recognizing the cost of other typical household expenses. Such information can help utilities and communities to identify opportunities to provide assistance to low-income customers. Affordability Stress by Water Service Area Map Service Jersey Water Works This would be categorized as a Demographic layer, since it indicates affordability stress based on disposable income. Similar to the other demographic layers already on the map, it can indicate places that have higher financial barriers to solving water issues. However, it is unique because it is informed by a study that uses the 20th percentile income as well as disposable income, as opposed to median household income, as factors to determine potential household stress. This offers a different, perhaps more precise, way of assessing financial burden.
NJDEP Environmental Justice Overburdened Communities (2020) Overburdened community” means any census block group, as determined in accordance with the most recent United States Census, in which: (1) at least 35 percent of the households qualify as low-income households; (2) at least 40 percent of the residents identify as minority or as members of a State recognized tribal community; or (3) at least 40 percent of the households have limited English proficiency.

Redlining Redlining is a historic practice with present-day implications. During the 1930s and 1940s, several cities were mapped by the HOLC (Home Owners’ Loan Corporation) to assess neighborhoods based on the financial security of providing mortgages. Neighborhoods were graded in four categories (A, B, C and D), where A implied a minimal risk for investors and D, colored red, implied a “Hazardous” risk. The identification of hazardous neighborhoods was driven by several factors, including race, limiting the access to home ownership to African American communities and segregating cities. The data comes from The Mapping Inequality Project. Please note that areas without data mean that there is no data available, not that these areas were necessarily free of redlining. For more information on redlining, and its impacts in present day communities, you may explore this report by NCRC, explore this story map about the impacts of redlining in climate change risk in Elizabeth, NJ, or read “The Color of Law” by Richard Rothstein.
