Nontoxic Solutions for Landscaping
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Partnership for the Delaware Estuary, Inc.
Year: 2002

description: The impacts of daily landscaping decisions reach far beyond property lines. We can all make positive contributions to the habitats around us and to the fish and wildlife that they support by managing lands in more environmentally sensitive ways, whether they are corporate properties, school sites, or backyards. This is especially true for pesticides, fertilizers and other substances that we put on the land. These substances get washed into local creeks and streams when it rains, eventually ending up in the Delaware Estuary, negatively impacting water quality and living resources. This pamphlet educates users on ways to reduce the use of chemicals on landscaped areas through the use of native plants, soil testing, and using organic lawn treatments.

description: Wildfires globally have impacted the environment socially, economically, and ecologically. A precise evaluation of burn severity is fundamental for productive post-fire management and strategic planning. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate commonly used satellite indices in detecting burn severity and compare them with a widely used field index, the composite burn index (CBI). Sentinel-2 Level-1C satellite images, providing a spatial resolution of 10 meters, were utilized in this research from the European Space Agency (ESA) within the Copernicus program. The study focused on three wildfire incidents in the United States, namely Legion Lake, Fuller, and Chimney Tops 2, each with available CBI measurements. SNAP software, an open-source software developed by ESA, was employed for image analysis and metric calculations. Using ArcGIS Pro, the burn indices results, and CBI values were compared, followed by statistical analysis in Excel to assess the correlation between burn severity categories derived from the differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR), Relativized Burn Ratio (RBR), differenced Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (dNDVI), and the newly established differenced Normalized Difference Burn Index (dNDBI) with CBI measurements. The study findings revealed that the performance of satellite burn severity indices, compared to CBI, is contingent upon the specific wildfire incident. Factors such as topography, shadow, and vegetation cover significantly influenced the results. For the ChimneyTops2 fire, the dNDVI index exhibited the most substantial correlation (R²=0.72) with the CBI, suggesting its superior predictive potential for burn severity. Conversely, the Legion Lake fire demonstrated the strongest correlation (R²=0.64) between the dNDBI index and CBI, indicating its potential as the optimal predictor of burn severity. In contrast, the Fuller fire showed generally lower correlation coefficients, with the RBR index showcasing the highest correlation with the CBI (R²=0.26). The observed significant correlation between the indices and CBI measurements highlights their value in evaluating burn severity across various regions. Additionally, the created burn severity mapping using Sentinel-2 dNBR with the proposed USGS threshold was compared to the Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS) provided burn severity map using Landsat 8 data, yielding similar results despite some limitations, such as differences in pre- and post-fire image dates. Future research should continue to explore the applicability of these indices in other wildfire-prone regions, further enhancing our understanding of wildfire dynamics and its impact on the environment.
Making Wildlife Protection a Reality: Smart Growth Recommendations from New Jersey Future
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Future (NJF)
Year: 2005

description: This New Jersey Future (NJF) paper discusses the effect of habitat destruction on wildlife. Habitat destruction is the single biggest threat to wildlife. How and where growth takes place is the most important factor in determining if New Jersey's wildlife and vital natural areas used as habitat are preserved. Despite the fact that NJ is projected to be the first state to reach full build-out, opportunities to preserve habitat are plentiful. About 1/3 of NJ is undeveloped but not preserved. When combined with the state's preserved lands, these lands provide habitat for a startling array of wildlife and must thus be carefully managed. This paper examines how state and local government will play a large role in the fate of these remaining open lands through land purchase, zoning, and regulatory powers. NJF calls on the DEP and State Planning Commission to take four suggested actions to ensure coordinated wildlife protection in New Jersey.

Measurements of critical shear stress for entraining fine sediments in a boundary layer
Creators: name: Vanoni, Vito A.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1964

description: Experiments were made in a flume 15-3/8 in. wide by 12 ft long to determine the shear stress for critical motion of fine sediment in a growing boundary layer. Determinations were made for two sediments, a quartz sand with geometric mean sieve size of 0. 102 mm and glass beads with geometric mean sedimentation diameter of 0. 037 mm.
The intensity of sediment motion was judged from the frequency of bursts of motion over a small area varying from 7 to 18 mm in diameter.  When the burst frequency fell between 1/3 and 1 burst per second, critical conditions for inception of motion were considered to obtain.
Values of shear velocity, u_*, and bed shear stress, τ_0, for turbulent flow were determined from measured velocity profile data by essentially two methods. In the first the slope, N, of a straight line fitted to a semilogarithmic graph of velocity profile data was used in Eq. (8) to obtain u_*.  In the other, values of point velocity, u, at a distance of .03 ft from the bed was substituted into the logarithmic equation for velocity distribution at a smooth wall, Eq. ( 5 ) , to obtain u_*. The data obtained from Eq. (8) and plotted on Fig. 14a show wider scatter than those calculated from Eq. (5) and plotted on Fig. 14b. The data obtained by means of Eq. (5) are considered the more reliable and are presented on a complete Shields diagram in Fig. 15.

Vortex energy dissipator for San Diego ocean outfall – laboratory investigations
Creators: name: Brooks, Norman H.
name: Blackmer, William H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1962

description: The sewage effluent from the new sewage treatment plant for the City of San Diego, located on a bluff 95 feet above sea level on Point Lorna, is discharged to the ocean through a long submarine outfall pipe. Under almost all conditions of flow, the hydraulic head at the treatment plant exceeds that required for flow through the outfall. Therefore, the excess energy must be dissipated in a special hydraulic drop structure located on the shoreline between the treatment plant and the ocean outfall.
The laboratory model investigation described herein basically sought to find a method for dissipating this excess energy safely without heavy entrainment of air into the flow in the ocean outfall. Such air entrainment could cause unsteady conditions of the pipe flow, and possibly bubbling at the point of discharge in the ocean, both of which must be avoided. The responsibility of this laboratory was to develop the hydraulic principles and a recommended hydraulic configuration which would provide assurance that the prototype to be designed by the sponsors (Holmes and Narver-Montgomery) would give satisfactory hydraulic performance.

Effect of Specific Chemical Reactions on the Transformation and the Transport of Chromium in the Soil-Water System and in Concrete Walls : Part II
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Department of Civil Engineering, University of Delaware
Year: 1994

description: This document contains Chapter 5 (Results and Discussion) of a report from the second year of a study of chromium leaching behavior from chromium contaminated soil (Cr-soil) in Hudson County, New Jersey. Chromium is the most commonly found toxic heavy metal contaminant in New Jersey soils, and poses a considerable environmental hazard. Remediation of contaminated sites is necessary to reduce the public health hazard, and therefore it is essential to understand the chemical and physical interaction of chromium with soils. The study examines leaching behavior of chromium in chromium-contaminated soil (Cr-soil) derived from chromium ore processing residue (COPR) and the transport of chromium in concrete material in Liberty State Park. The report discusses the physico-chemical properties of Cr-soil, and the results of various leaching experiments concerning pH of the leaching solution and the organic matter content of the Cr-soil. pH is identified as the crucial parameter affecting the concentration and speciation of chromium in the chromium-concrete interface via processes of adsorption, redox and precipitation reactions.

Forecasting Algal blooms in Surface Water Systems with Artificial Neural Networks: Final Report
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: NOAH L.L.C.
Year: 2006

description: Algal blooms (AB) in potable water supplies are becoming an increasingly prevalent and serious water quality problem around the world. AB events can cause taste and odor problems, damage the environment, and some algal classes like cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) may release toxins that can cause human illness or even death. There is a need to develop models that can accurately forecast algal bloom events on the basis of predictive physical, meteorological, chemical, and biological information. Such forecasting models can provide valuable lead time for water treatment systems to implement measures to minimize the consequences of the AB event, if not actually prevent it. Given the multitude, interplay, and complexity of the various controlling environmental factors, modeling and forecasting AB is a daunting challenge. This research focused on the feasibility of using artificial neural network (ANN) technology as an accurate, realtime modeling and forecasting tool. Previously-collected data from a NJ water utility served as the test case. AB forecasting periods included one-week and two-weeks prior to the event. Despite a less than ideal number of historical AB events, the high predictive accuracy achieved in this study indicates that with sufficient data, both in terms of the number of historical AB events and availability of important predictor data, ANNs can serve as reliable, accurate, real-time AB forecasting tools.

The 2005 Osprey Project in New Jersey

Year: 2006

description: The osprey is a large raptor (bird of prey) usually seen near bodies of water that support adequate fish populations. Pesticide contamination and habitat loss have gradually reduced the annual number of osprey nesting pairs throughout this past century. The state's osprey population began to recover as nesting success improved and the number of nesting pairs increased each year. The NJDEP currently conducts an aerial survey of the state's osprey population every 2-3 years. They observe nests yearly and band many of the young osprey chicks while they are still in the nest. The Endangered and Nongame Species Program surveyed over 200 nests during May and June in 2005, which is a good portion of the 366-nest population last counted in 2003. All major nesting colonies along the Atlantic and Delaware Bay coasts were reached. During nest checks in June and July, biologists and volunteers surveyed 203 nests and found that osprey production was excellent. The Delaware Bay nests produced fewer young than Atlantic coast nests, and the Southern portions of Cape May County seemed to have some of the best success. It was found that most NJ ospreys used 1-post, 4-post platforms and modified telephone poles for nesting. Staff and volunteers raised 23 new nest platforms along the coast.

The Manasquan River Watershed: A Trend Analysis Focusing on Impacts to Water Quality
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: The Monmouth County Health Department
Year: 1999

description: The water quality in the Manasquan River has generally improved over the years, but it is continually impacted by commercial, residential and agricultural activities when it rains. Task 1 in this study examines data from 5 freshwater sampling stations in Monmouth County, showing Long Brook by the Howell/Freehold border as most impacted by non-point pollution. Task 2 examines nutrient and bacterial impact at 38 estuary stations in both counties. Improvement in water quality began in 1995 after 800 residents in Wall were connected to sanitary sewer. The estuary's designation in 1997 as the first federal No Discharge Zone additionally reduces sewage discharge from boats. Task 3 provides trends in the numbers of septic system malfunctions, emergency responses/hazmat incidents, and GIS data from Known Contaminated Sites List. Task 4 inventories the number of septic system and well approvals issued by municipalities. Certificate of Compliance (COC) data is a useful predictor of the potential for non-point pollution. If innovative BMPs (Best Management Practices) like the No Discharge Zone concept continue to be developed, and renewed dedication is focused on sources of non-point pollution, runoff and waterfowl populations, water quality can continue to improve at a rate it has in the past.
