But in the Passaic River? The pollution will kill them.
Wetland, Floodplain, and Shoreline Data (RM 0 - 1)
Jacques Whitford Company
During this review, no data on vegetative communities or wetland, floodplain, or
shoreline habitat in River Miles 0 -1 were found. The JWC Regulatory Consultation
Document (2000) qualitatively discussed birds, mammals and herptiles likely to be
found in the Kearny Point area. The same document listed New Jersey and federal
threatened/endangered species, and concluded that the site was currently used by
peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) and osprey (Pandion haliaetus), two species listed as
endangered and threatened, respectively, by the State of New Jersey.
While the following species where not known to be present at the site, the JWC report
also concluded that it was possible that they could use the site vicinity in some fashion:
