New Jersey Highlands CouncilRiparian areas in the Highlands are defined and mapped by hydrologic properties of land cover, soil, and evidence of inundation. Riparian areas include the integration of flood prone areas, riparian soils, wetlands and streams, and wildlife corridors. Flood Prone Areas: defined as U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) documented and undocumented flood prone areas and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year floodplain. Riparian Soils: defined as a hydric soil, a soil exhibiting a shallow depth to seasonal high water table, or alluvial soil (NRCS). Wetlands and Streams: defined as all mapped streams and wetlands that are adjacent to a stream as identified in the Highlands Open Water Inventory. Wildlife Corridors: defined as a 300-foot corridor on each mapped stream bank or from the stream centerline if no stream bank is mapped.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/0d267b54766d4fd9afef9e61ec2e19fa_1engNew Jersey Geographic Information Network (NJGIN) Open Data PortalPublicRiparian Area [New Jersey]Web servicesNew JerseyLast Modified: 2021-03-11
