In October of 2018, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection hosted a kick-off meeting to create its own WRR. The design team include staff from DEP, the Philadelphia and New York Army Corps of Engineers districts, and Regions 2 & 3 of the EPA. Other agencies are still being queried for their interest in joining the effort. New Jersey staff identified a special interest in using a WRR for resiliency and sustainability planning. The New Jersey WRR team plans to develop eight GIS-based analyses for preservation and restoration of aquatic and terrestrial resources. The team will evaluate WRR analyses completed in other states and tailor the approach to the New Jersey setting. An interactive mapping application (see link) shows basic environmental resource layers. As the eight GIS analyses are completed, they will be added to the interactive mapping application.
Get more information about the spatial analyses and factors selected by the state of New Jersey for their models.
Coming SoonGet more information about the WRR application and how to use it successfully.
