DescriptionThis Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) addresses the issue of rising water demands in Monmouth and northern Ocean counties where the combined capability of existing surface water and groundwater resources is already exceeded. The Manasquan Reservoir System (MRS) would provide an additional source of high quality, potable water to replace a portion of current ground-water usage in the region and to protect the aquifers from further depletion and degradation. This report identifies recommended project components and evaluates the alternative components. It also gives a detailed baseline description of the existing environmental resources and describes the future environment with and without the MRS. Proposed mitigation measures for potential adverse environmental impacts due to project implementation are also identified. This report supplements and updates previous environmental studies conducted in 1978 and summarizes the nearly three dozen reports produced by the NJDEP and a team of professional planning, environmental and engineering consultants.
NoteProduced for the New Jersey Water Supply Authority.
NotePurpose: To identify and evaluate an additional source of potable water, the Manasquan Reservoir System (MRS), in Monmouth and northern Ocean counties.
