Abstract:

This layer shows the New Jersey municipalities that were certified under the Sustainable Jersey Program in 2019. Sustainable Jersey certification is a prestigious designation for municipal governments in New Jersey. Municipalities that achieve the certification are considered by their peers, by state government and by the experts and civic organizations in New Jersey, to be among the leading municipalities striving for sustainability. In order to be certified, municipalities must implement a number of actions that earn them points. To be certified as "Bronze", municipalities must establish a green team, implement 2/12 priority actions, complete actions in 6/19 categories, and total at least 150 points. To be certified as "Silver", municipalities must also establish a green team, implement 3/12 priority actions, complete actions in 8/19 categories, and total at least 350 points. For additional information about the program, as well as more information about the specific action municipalities accomplished in order to become certified, please visit https://www.sustainablejersey.com/.

Purpose:

Created to showcase municipalities that have been certified under the Sustainable Jersey Program. Additional information on the program and in depth information on the certification status of each municipality can be found at https://www.sustainablejersey.com/

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Certified municipalities were joined to NJ Municipalities layer and checked for consistency.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Polygons were built from the NJOIT-OGIS Municipal Boundaries of New Jersey (nj_munis_arcs) line data set using the default cluster tolerance of 0.003 US survey feet. Municipalities with multiple disconnected areas were created as multi-part polygons. A spatial join was created with the centroids of the NJDEP municipality boundaries (stmun) layer as a quality control check. An examination of the attribute table ensured that each polygon contained a single centroid and any errors were resolved. A topology rule set was also built to ensure there were no gores (gaps) or overlaps between polygons.
