<\/a><\/p>\nCategory<\/strong>: Candidate Restoration\/Preservation Site<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Location<\/strong>: Located adjacent to the Secaucus High School, Secaucus Tract, and Mill Creek Marsh sites in Secaucus, Hudson County.<\/p>\n Latitude\/Longitude<\/strong>: 40.80004\/-74.04621<\/p>\n Current Land Use<\/strong>: Tidal marsh<\/p>\n Size<\/strong>: 8 acres<\/p>\n Current Ownership<\/strong>: Louise G. Petrillo<\/p>\n Site Description<\/strong>: The Petrillo Tract includes a lowland marsh area and upland areas. It appears that runoff from residential streets flows into the property. A drainage ditch on the western border prevents runoff from an adjacent parking lot from reaching the upland areas, but it is likely that this runoff reaches the low-lying marsh area. The current conceptual restoration plans includes increasing tidal flow and exchange, restoring intertidal wetlands, reintroducing native wet land species, and restoring upland grassland habitat. \u00a0A 43-unit town home development was constructed on the upland 3.3 acre portion of this site between 2008 and 2010.<\/p>\n Existing Site-Specific Data Inventory<\/strong><\/p>\n A.
