	Greenway Management - Summary Comparison of 6 Case Studies
		For instance, in the case of the Rockaway River and Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River, the protection of the rivers themselves and adjacent open space were primary motivating factors that have remained in the forefront during the implementation process.
		In the case of the Upper Delaware, economic development took the form of tourism related to river recreation, while in the case of the Rockaway River, revitalization of blighted urban brownfields adjacent to the river was an important objective.
		Rockaway River uses the larger watershed as an organizing hydrogeological element and boundary in greenway planning and management.

	Rockaway (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		From this evidence in reference to the name of Rockaway it must be conceded that the Indians were the first to use the word, and gave it to the settlers; and that the river is so called from a field or Indian encampment beside it.
		Rockaway township may well be proud of the rapid increase in mineral wealth and growth in population and manufacturing interests which her own rough-hewn hills have given her in the past thirty-five or forty years, and of the new developments which are constantly made in her iron deposits.
		The principal public ground is the Rockaway cemetery, connected with the Rockaway Presbyterian church, and its history is that of the church.

	ATSDR - PHA - Rockaway Borough Wellfield, Rockaway Borough, Morris County, New Jersey
		Since the installation of the activated carbon treatment system, elevated concentrations of TCE and PCE were detected in the water supplied by the distribution system only once, because the activated carbon in the treatment unit was not replaced on time (i.e., the breakthrough of the contaminant occurred).
		The upper aquifer is composed of sand and gravel with layers of till, and the lower aquifer is composed of a mixture of metamorphic, igneous, and metasedimentary bedrock.
		Based on information provided in the RI, the Rockaway River, which is located within about 1,000 feet south of the Borough of Rockaway's wells, may recharge the aquifers in some areas of the site, and in other portions of the site the ground water only partially discharges to the river.
