public water supplies. All small scale infiltration basins are situated to prevent stormwater infiltration from occurring until it is no less than two (2) feet above seasonal high water.

  • Ground Water Capabilities
  • The project will be serviced by existing public water supplies.
  • Sewage Disposal
  • The project will be serviced by public sewer.
  • Solid Waste Disposal
  • Construction All solid waste generated during tree removal activities shall be recycled by creating mulch or firewood for reuse, as appropriate and market conditions dictate. All solid waste generated during construction such as lumber, paper, etc. will be collected in dumpsters located on the site and disposed of in a manner consistent with local ordinances and the Ocean County Recycling Plan. Care will be taken to ensure that all construction debris is collected frequently to prevent any temporary adverse impacts such as windblown movement.
  • Residences Solid waste generated by the homes will be collected, recycled and disposed of in a manner consistent with local ordinances and the Ocean County Recycling Plan.
  • Vegetation
  • All forest vegetation has been removed for the existing development with scattered trees currently existing as planted by the homeowners. These existing trees will be removed for the project.
  • Wildlife Habitats
  • No wildlife habitat will be disturbed by the project. No critical wildlife habitats are located on the site.
  • Scenic and Historic Features
  • No scenic or historic features exist onsite.
  • Air Quality

Decreased air quality because of air-borne dust associated with the proposed construction activities is a projected short-term impact. Methods to control soil erosion and sediment control will be implemented in order to minimize air quality degradation. Long-term degradation of air quality as a result of an increase in traffic is not expected.

The project proposes to construct a roadway accessing the site from two (2) county roads. Increased traffic volume could potentially impact ambient air quality. Air quality impacts typically arise from traffic delays. No delays entering or exiting the site are anticipated. The proposed project by itself is not anticipated to result in a significant impact on ambient air quality. A Traffic Impact Study has been completed by McDonough, Rea & Associates.

L Noise

Projected noise levels, as a result of the proposed development, is not anticipated to increase ambient noise levels above NJDEP standards as described in Section 2.10.
