	Pequannock Township, New Jersey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pequannock Township includes neighborhoods known as Pequannock and Pompton Plains, each of which is served by their own separate post office.
		Pequannock (in the name of the Township and of the Pequannock River) is thought to have been derived from the Lenni Lenape Native American word "Paquettahhnuake", meaning, "cleared land ready or being readied for cultivation".
		The Township of Pequannock is located in eastern Morris County, along Route 23, approximately 5 miles north of the interchange of Route 23 with Interstate 80 and U.S. Route 46.

	Wanaque River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wanaque River (Native American for "place of the sassafras") is a tributary of the Pequannock River in Passaic County in northern New Jersey in the United States.
		Once known as the Long Pond River, the sources of the Wanaque River are Greenwood Lake, once known as Long Pond (not to be confused with the nearby village of Greenwood Lake in the state of New York) and the watershed known as Sterling Forest.
		From the Raymond Dam of the Wanaque reservoir, the river flows to its confluence with the Pequannock River.

		Although this irresponsible behavior has created one of the most polluted rivers in the United States, it must be recognized that it was at one time considered an economic benefit to dispose of wastes into rivers.
		River advocates in New Jersey spend much of their time pleading for the big fixes, like the cleanup of toxic chemicals and the restoration of plants and animal life that died off long ago.

	Water System Overview
		The Pequannock supply system is owned and operated by the City.
		The natural drainage into the reservoirs is supplemented by water pumped from downstream rivers at two points.
		The City of Bloomfield, which is provided with water by the City from the Pequannock system in exchange for Wanaque water, has a total allotment of 6.51 MGD.

		Riparian restoration was undertaken at Bailey Brook in Bloomingdale and the Pequannock River in Riverdale.
		Other components of this project were the documentation of areas in the Pequannock River headwaters that are impacted by current or past beaver activity and the collection of flow and temperature data for all significant tributaries in the Lower Pequannock drainage.
		Preliminary sampling by the Pequannock River Coalition has shown that small impoundments do offer a level of temperature stratification within these impoundments that may be utilized to achieve downstream temperature reductions of 3-4 F. This project is a demonstration project and will actually occur on the West Brook in the Township of West Milford.

		The study concluded that Newark should obtain water from the region tributary to the Pequannock River in Passaic County.
		Pequannock water was thereby introduced to the high service area of the City without pumping.
		Following activation of the Pequannock water supply, the City had quite a difficult time limiting its maximum demands to 27.5 mgd, the maximum amount it was initially allowed to draw from the East Jersey Water Company.

		The Oak Ridge reservoir, with a surface area of 482 acres and a capacity of 3.9 billion gallons, is the largest of five reservoirs owned by Newark in the Pequannock River watershed.
		The five reservoirs are on the main stem or on tributaries of the Pequannock River.
		Newark owns 64 of the 98 square miles in the river's watershed, which stretches from Vernon and Hardyston at its north end to Jefferson, Rockaway, Kinnelon, Butler, Riverdale and Pequannock in the south.

		Pequannock saw access to cities like New York and Paterson in the 1830s when the Morris Canal was built on the Rockaway River in what is now Boonton and Boonton Township.
		The sections of town are separated by rivers of the same names that run through them but, ironically, the Pequannock River runs through most of Pompton Plains in the north, while the Pompton River runs through most of Pequannock in the south.
		Until 1881, Butler was known as West Bloomingdale, a small village in Pequannock, that soon experienced economic growth after land speculators in Morristown saw its potential along Kakeout Brook and the Pequannock River, according to historian Peggy Spranzani of the Butler Museum.

		The Passaic River Basin is roughly elliptical in shape, and drains approximately 835 square miles of Northern New Jersey and Southern New York State.
		For example, Morristown, on the Whippany River, and Denville and Dover on the Rockaway River are representative municipalities in the Highlands that have had major flood damages.
		It is a broad and relatively flat valley that extends from Long Hill Township in the south, to Pequannock Township in the north.

	The Pequannock River Coalition Dedicated to preserving the Pequannock River
		From the rugged headwaters on threatened Hamburg Mountain to the rich flood plains of eastern Morris County, the Pequannock is at the forefront of suburban sprawl, facing spiraling demands for land and water.
		The yield from the Pequannock River Coalition’s 12th annual cleanup on Saturday included an office chair, a still-ticking watch and a truck tailgate that took four people to lift.
		The chief problem is that the river’s flow is dangerously low in the summer and its water temperature too high, putting wild trout at risk, he said.

	Dear Mr
		The Pequannock River is identified on state and federal lists as "impaired", so needs to be protected from impacts caused by high density development.
		The 104-acre Springbrook Acres (horse farm) is outside of the state-designated town center and is in Planning Area 5, containing environmentally sensitive features, including exceptional resource wetlands, steep slopes, aquifer recharge and flood control areas.
		Its protection is essential to protecting the Pequannock River.

	The Dey House
		On June 6, 1695, a huge tract was obtained from the Indians by a company of associates, headed by Arent Schuyler, Brockholst, and Mandeville, extending from the Passiac River on the south up along both sides of the Pequannock River between the foothills on the east and west.
		Derrick Dey probably bought from him and settled almost immediatelly in the extreme southeastern tip of the townshiip, bounded on the east by the Pequannock River and on the south and west by the Passaic River.
		John Neafie, sen., and John Neafie, jun., the former a farmer, of Saddle River, and the latter of Orange county, cabinet maker, conveyed the premises, 352 acres, to Martynus J. Hogencamp, of Rockland county, April 10, 1813, for $8,750.

		If authorities were to regulate the water flow and temperature, this river could be a boon to New Jersey freshwater fly-fishing.

		Because the Wanaque and Pequannock River basins are covered with permeable sediments, the recharge zone, where water percolates directly to the aquifer, includes the entire areal extent of the Highlands Aquifer Area.
