NJ DEP has designated this location a sensitive land area with no new devolvement.
"In 1991, a task force drawn from the diverse programs within the Department used a number of factors in order to define ESA. These factors included importance to the quality of life in New Jersey, scarcity of the resource, importance placed on the area by other State and Federal legislation, and the ecology of the area. The areas the task force determined should be given the highest priority in protection from discharges, based on the above factors, and revised over the years to reflect changes in other Departmental rules, are included in the section defining "environmentally sensitive areas" in N.J.A.C. 7:1E."
