Description: Animals need to be able to move through the landscape to find food, mates, and other resources. Without that ability to move, long-term viability of populations is in jeopardy. New Jersey is facing increasing habitat loss and fragmentation from steady urbanization, a dense network of roads, and a changing climate that are compromising the connectivity of habitat and resiliency of wildlife populations. Connecting Habitat Across New Jersey (CHANJ) represents a statewide habitat connectivity plan, developed in collaboration with a multi-partner, multi-disciplinary working group representing over 40 different agencies across the state, convened by the ENSP to address the importance of landscape permeability for the persistence of native terrestrial wildlife species. CHANJ mapping identifies core terrestrial wildlife habitat and corridors connecting them across the state, as well as intersecting road segments that serve as road barrier mitigation opportunities. The mapping is based on a naturalness index approach, and utilized core and corridor delineation GIS toolsets, Core Mapper and Linkage Mapper (www.circuitscape.org). Terrestrial species location data were used to inform model parameters and for validation. The Stepping Stones mapping was developed using the same methodology used to develop the CHANJ Cores, but with a smaller minimum threshold area size and are meant to help with connectivity planning by identifying areas within CHANJ Corridors that are more intact than others and may “live in” habitat for smaller, less vagile terrestrial wildlife species. The mapping was developed using raster data (10m grid cell size), and then converted to polygons for the final product.
Description: This data layer identifies those Known Contaminated Sites (KCS) or sites on Site Remediation Programs' (SRP) Comprehensive Site List (CSL) that have been assigned a Deed Notice.
Description: In March 2001, the New Jersey Private Well Testing Act (PWTA) was signed into law, and its regulations became effective in September 2002. The PWTA is a consumer information law that requires sellers or buyers of property with wells in NJ to test the untreated ground water for a variety of water quality parameters. The test data is submitted electronically by the test laboratories to the NJ Department of Environmental Protection for statewide analysis of ground water quality. These data presented here provide a summary of the percentage of wells within a 2 mile by 2 mile area that exceeded a maximum contaminant level (MCL) or secondary standard for the period September 2002 to March 2014.

Description: The purpose of the SEPs map and data is to showcase the NJDEP SEPs program. A SEP is a supplemental environmental project. An SEP is an environmentally beneficial project that a respondent voluntarily agrees to perform as a condition of settling an enforcement action. An SEP is an activity that the respondent would not otherwise have been required to perform, and in which the public or the environment is the primary beneficiary. Having outside organizations/companies submit a proposed SEP project will allow for an easier matching process between violators and organizations/companies looking for a funding source for a qualified SEP project.
