Potential Acid Producing Soils in New Jersey

The New Jersey Department of Agriculture, Division of Agricultural and Natural Resources, State Soil Conservation Committee requires that plans for controlling erosion during land disturbances (such as construction) must be designed in accordance with a comprehensive set of erosion control practices known as the Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act (P.L. 1975, chapter 251, N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq.). This map is intended to provide Federal and State agencies, and the public with fundamental geologic information on potential acid-producing (sulfate) sediments for use in natural resource planning and environmental analyses.
