Pinelands Commission Pond Study Report

[Teegate]

Have any of you read the pond study report by the Pinelands Commission? Here are a few interesting lines. It pretty much vindicates approved enduro routes in regards to pond damage.

A greater percentage of excavated ponds were damaged by off‐road vehicles compared to natural ponds.

We found no link between approved enduro routes and off‐road vehicle damage to ponds.

Interesting! I bought a 13 acre home in Galloway Twp at the begining of summer. On the property are two swampy areas that were dry but in previos imagery show water present. Just last week I noticed a professional looking metal ruler in the back of 1 swamp. The previous property owner was listed as a land owner who granted acess.

Your home is 13 acres? Wow! My rental home is only 1470 square feet.

My home is 10 acres. But my house is only about 1000 square feet.

I would like to hear about that. It sounds nice. Is it all woods or maybe an older farm?

Bob, The house was built in 1966, and is about 1200 square feet. I would guess only 3 acres is cleared and the rest is wooded. The previous owner had some horses there and owned the 20 acre parcel next door as well. I am not sure if that piece which is cleared was used for farming. I was told a small creek used to flow through the property but has been dry for some time. Perhaps that is why they wanted to survey there?
