Design Strategies<br />
Limiting impervious surfaces in ground water recharge and wellhead protection areas<br />
!<br />
Routing clean stormwater run<strong>of</strong>f (e.g., ro<strong>of</strong>top) to infiltration basins<br />
!<br />
Septic system density and siting away from stormwater collection areas, depressions or swales<br />
!<br />
Zoning and Site Plan Ordinance<br />
Overlay district over aquifer recharge as provided by <strong>the</strong> Borough <strong>of</strong> Mountain Lakes which has delineated<br />
!<br />
a Prime Aquifer Area overlay zone with corresponding restricted uses<br />
Overlay district over wellhead protection area and corresponding regulation <strong>of</strong> hazardous substances 15<br />
!<br />
Impact zoning: developer's provision <strong>of</strong> positive or neutral impact on <strong>the</strong> community water ! supply<br />
Overlay district over limestone <strong>for</strong>mation and corresponding restricted activities as in ! Washington<br />
Township 16<br />
Density or clustering options based on hydrogeologic conditions such as limestone <strong>for</strong>mation, ! aquifer<br />
recharge or wellhead protection area<br />
Regulate future potential sources <strong>of</strong> pollution e.g. motor vehicle-related services, laundromats, ! beauty<br />
salons, photographic processing, car washes, medical <strong>of</strong>fices, research labs<br />
Individual Sanitary Sewer Disposal (Septic System) ordinance such as advocated by <strong>the</strong> Ten Town ! Great<br />
Swamp Watershed Committee which includes provisions <strong>for</strong> a ‘design engineer required to certify<br />
installations, separate greywater and blackwater systems, approved reserve area set aside <strong>for</strong> future<br />
expansion or replacement <strong>of</strong> system, certificate required <strong>for</strong> continued use prior to transfer <strong>of</strong> title, and<br />
17<br />
establishment <strong>of</strong> detailed design standards .<br />
Practices<br />
LOCAL<br />
PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT AGENCIES<br />
Cooperative ventures such as <strong>the</strong> Alamatong Wellhead Protection Study supported by Chester and<br />
!<br />
Randolph Townships, <strong>the</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Morris</strong>, <strong>the</strong> US Geological Survey, New Jersey DEP, and <strong>the</strong> Upper<br />
Raritan Watershed Association. Identification, delineation and investigation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Alamatong wellhead<br />
production area provided basis <strong>for</strong> planning and zoning <strong>for</strong>mulation.<br />
A Well Head Protection study coordinated by <strong>the</strong> Passaic Valley Ground Water Protection Committee<br />
delineated well head protection areas as well as potential pollutant sources within. 18<br />
