D. Using the NJDEP's GIS Resources as a Source of Information

Previous

The following are citations from N.J.A.C. 7:26E. where reference is made for the use of NJDEP GIS resource information:

7:26E-3.11(a)2 Site investigation - ecological evaluation

7:26E-4.2(b)4i,ii,iv,vi Remedial Investigation Workplan

7:26E-4.4(h)3v(1) Conducting a well search

7:26E-4.6(a)2,3 (b)2ii Remedial investigation of landfills and historic fill material

Note: Currently, there is no data available in NJDEP's GIS relating to historic fill.

Note: Most of NJDEP GIS Data now is available for download via the Internet.
See https://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/lists.html

Information currently is accessible through a 4 Volume CD set available for purchase from NJDEP Map Sales at 609-777-1039. Additional information regarding use and content of these CDs can be obtained by contacting the Bureau of Geographic Information Analysis help desk at 609-777-0672 or NJDEP Map Sales at 609-777-1038 and requesting the pamphlet entitled "NJDEP GIS CD-ROMs."

In the event that review of the DEP data sets (CDs) indicates the presence of an environmentally sensitive area on or adjacent to the property being investigated, or if there is a discharge pathway from the facility leading to an environmentally sensitive area, the respondent does not need to copy and resubmit this information in digital format to DEP to reflect these conditions. All that is required as part of the report is a note that an area was identified using DEP information and what the DEP GIS designation for the area is. Map submissions are required if new previously unidentified areas are identified or if DEP GIS information is significantly in error. This could include DEP information that indicates that a site impacts an environmentally sensitive area when it does not, as well as indicating a site does not impact an area when it does.
