waters. When required, floodplain areas shall be mapped in consultation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Existing drainage structures shall be mapped and the capacity of the drainage network shall be determined. 6. Subsurface Water. Description of the subsurface water conditions on the site, in terms of depth to ground water shall be provided. 7. Unique, Scenic and/or Historic Features. Description and a map of those portions of the site that can be considered to have unique, scenic and/or historic qualities. 8. Existing Development Features. Description of any existing features on the site that are not considered to be part of the natural environment. This may include, but not necessarily be limited to, roads, housing units, accessory structures, and utility lines. 9. Miscellaneous. When warranted, an analysis shall be conducted of existing air quality and noise levels as prescribed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection or the West Orange Health Department. c. Area and Regional Description. A description of the surrounding environs shall be provided as well as the existing land use pattern. When required, the existing infrastructure, with respect to the drainage and transportation network, as well as any central sewerage and water supply facilities shall be described in detail. An appropriate regional analysis relative to the proposed subject shall be included. d. Impact. Discuss the negative and the positive on- and-off-site impacts as they affect the items listed in Subsections b and c above. Indicate those negative impacts that are unavoidable. Indicate those resources affected by the proposal which will be irretrievably lost and those resources which are renewable. The specific concerns that shall be considered include, but are not limited to the following: 1. Soil erosion and sedimentation resulting from surface runoff. 2. Flooding and floodplain disruption. 3. Degradation of surface water quality. 4, Groundwater pollution. 5. Sewage disposal. 6. Solid waste disposal. 7. Destruction of vegetation. 8. Disruption of wildlife habitats. 9. Destruction of scenic and historic features. 10. Air quality degradation. 11. Noise levels. 12. Energy utilization. 13. Neighborhood deterioration. 14. Effect on public services, such as schools, fire police. 15. Traffic congestion. 16. Health,

ir quality degradation. 11. Noise levels. 12. Energy utilization. 13. Neighborhood deterioration. 14. Effect on public services, such as schools, fire police. 15. Traffic congestion. 16. Health, safety and welfare of existing residents. 17. Regional development policies. e. Recommendation to Mitigate Adverse Environmental Impact. Describe in detail what measures will be employed during the planning, construction and operation phases which will minimize or eliminate negative impacts on and off-site that could result from the proposed project. Of specific interest are: 1, Drainage plans which shall include, but not be limited to, soil erosion and sedimentation controls. Every effort should be made to limit off-site runoff to predevelopment levels. 2. Sewage disposal techniques. 3. Water supply and water conservation proposals. 4. Site design techniques sensitive to the natural environment which should include innovative landscape, building and circulation design. 5. Energy conservation measures. 6. Noise reduction techniques.
