Boonton Township

Environmental Resource Inventory
       
INTRODUCTION

Boonton Township is rich in natural and cultural resources. The Environmental Committee has assembled information on these resources in this document, Environmental Resource Inventory of Boonton Township (ERI), in order to provide a data base to help protect and preserve them through land use decisions. Wherever possible, the Committee has provided factual information. We look forward to the assistance of Township residents in our efforts to amend and supplement this report through additional research and field studies. The document is intended to be used as a reference tool by Township officials and by the public. In addition, copies will be distributed to area libraries and to schools. Publication has been made possible through financial assistance from the Boonton Township Committee and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
