Category<\/strong>: Candidate Restoration\/Preservation Site \"Lyndhurst<\/a><\/p>\n

Location<\/strong>: Located southeast of where Berry’s Creek flows into the Hackensack River, to the east of the Bellemeade Mitigation site, and south of Rutherford Landfill in Lyndhurst, Hudson County.<\/p>\n

Site Description<\/strong>: Lyndhurst Riverside Marsh is undeveloped and adjacent to the Bellemead Mitigation site. The site is dominated by common reed (Phragmites australis<\/em>). The current conceptual mitigation design includes grading of the marsh surface, creation of tidal channels, and reestablishing high saltmarsh.<\/p>\n

[1a]<\/sup><\/strong>(http:\/\/merilibrary.meadowlands.state.nj.us\/dbtw-wpd\/FullText\/HGM_guidebook_RVSD.pdf<\/a>) A hydrogeomorphic functional assessment model and guidebook for tidal fringe wetlands in the Hackensack Meadowlands was completed. The HGM model can be used as a tool to help determine wetland functions and values and to approximate compensatory wetland mitigation. Map-based and on-site field data (including amount of aquatic edge, channel density, vegetative cover, habitat, soil texture, and tidal inundation) were collected from the reference wetlands and used to refine data collection forms, calibrate model variables, and improve the conceptual HGM functional models. Reference sites included Skeetkill Creek Marsh, Meadowlark Marsh, Lyndhurst Riverside Marsh, MRI, Western Brackish Marsh, Mill Creek Marsh, Eastern Brackish Marsh, Mori Tract, Walden Marsh, Oritani Marsh, Harrier Meadow, Anderson Creek Marsh, Kearny Brackish Marsh, and Riverbend Wetlands Preserve.<\/p>\n
