Updates from the New Jersey Water Supply Authority Watershed Protection Programs Division: information about our River Friendly Programs, field work, current and upcoming projects, and some random thoughts.

Ken's thought for the day
Visited the Freehold Soil Conservation District today. Very interesting discussion of sub-watershed approach to construction site review. They have a lot of good info on projects broken down spatially on a sub-watershed basis so a developer/inspector is aware of what's happening upstream and downstream of a particular project. Much more regional approach then you typically see - but still need to refine and institutionalize the approach.
Also, checked out the rain garden that we built with Rutgers Extension over the summer at the adjacent vo-tech school site (see picture above). It looks to be functioning well but we'll get a better sense of its success come spring.
