Description:
Abstract:
A Coastal Critical Environmental Site is a Critical Environmental Site (CES) adopted by the State Planning Commission that is within the CAFRA area, and that has been reviewed and accepted by the Department for the purposes of mainland coastal centers in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:7E-5B.6. A CES is generally an area which has some significant environmental factors associated with it, but which is too small to be delineated as a separate environmental planning area as part of the State Plan Policy Map. Critical Environmental Sites, and the process used to identify and map them, are discussed in more detail on the Office of Smart Growth website, <http://www.state.nj.us/dca/osg/plan/stateplan.shtml>, under the selection 'Color Exhibits and the State Plan Policy Map'. The process for the Department to review and accept a CES adopted by the State Planning Commission is set forth at N.J.A.C. 7:7E-5B.6
Any area within the boundaries of a mainland coastal center that is also part of a Coastal CES, is not considered part of the mainland coastal center. While there are CESs in all regions of the state, Coastal CESs as adopted by the Department in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:7E-5B.6 are only used for the purposes of mainland coastal centers. Therefore, the NJDEP has selected only those CES polygons located within the mainland coastal centers for inclusion in the Coastal CES layer provided here.
Purpose:
Coastal CES are areas, generally less than one square mile, that include one or more environmentally sensitive features, are recognized by the State Planning Commission, and are proposed for use by NJDEP in CAFRA permitting. In order to protect water and natural resources, certain environmentally sensitive areas are not considered part of the mainland coastal center. See N.J.A.C. 7:7E-5B.6(e). Any area within the boundaries of a mainland coastal center that is also part of a Coastal CES, is not considered part of the mainland coastal center.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Coastal CES are based on the accuracy of the CES of the NJ Plan Policy Map, adopted March 1, 2001, as amended through June 20, 2005. The Office of Smart Growth accepted all sites submitted by county and local entities with minimal requirements for documentation.
Logical_Consistency_Report: All polygons are labeled
Completeness_Report:
Coastal CES are complete on the date of publication. Changes to the State Plan CES boundaries must be approved by the State Planning Commission through the map amendment process prescribed in the State Planning Rules (N.J.A.C. 5:85).
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Scale of the original mapping was 1:24000. Feature locations should generally meet National Map Accuracy Standards for that scale, which means that boundaries are within 40 feet of their intended locations; however accuracy testing has not been done.

The cehs2 shapefile for the 2001 State Plan Policy Map, as amended to 20050620 was used.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Through the Cross-acceptance process beginning June 12, 1992, CES polygons were submitted by county and local entities. All sites submitted were accepted with minimal requirement for documentation. Refer to the NJSDRP for further description of the geographic nature of CES.
Process_Date: 20050705
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
CES boundaries for the CAFRA area were clipped from the cehs2 shapefile of the 2001 State Plan Policy Map as amended through 20050620. The resulting data set was clipped to the NJDEP Expired coastal center data set. NJDEP municipality/ county shapefile was intersected into the Coastal Planning Area shapefile. This shapefile then was recalculated to update perimeter, area and acre values. Attributes were modified to reflect the proposed application of the CES in the Coastal Zone Management rules, N.J.A.C. 7:7E.
Process_Date: 20050705
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Metadata updated and shapefile polygons compared to the Cehs2 (Critical Environmental Site) - 20070512 update. Spatial extent same and original shapefile retained.
