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

Location<\/strong>: Bordered on the east and south by the Hackensack River and on the north by Marsh Resources Meadowlands Mitigation Bank in Carlstadt, Bergen County.<\/p>\n

Latitude\/Longitude<\/strong>: 40.81180\/-74.03711<\/p>\n

Current Land Use<\/strong>: Tidal marsh<\/p>\n

Size<\/strong>: 74 acres<\/p>\n

Current Ownership<\/strong>: NJMC<\/p>\n

Site Description<\/strong>: This Metro Media Tract surrounds the Metro Media Broadcast site and radio towers. The site is undeveloped and dominated by common reed (Phragmites australis<\/em>). \u00a0The current conceptual restoration plan includes restoring tidal hydrology, restoring high and low saltmarsh habitat, creating a tidal channel network, and creating an upland buffer zone.<\/p>\n
