Plant Resource Document

The Lower Passaic River Restoration Project is an integrated remediation and restoration feasibility study of the watershed of the 17-mile, tidally influenced section of the Lower Passaic River from the Dundee Dam to the river mouth in Newark Bay, and its tributaries with confluences south of Dundee Dam within the State of New Jersey. This document provides recommendations for vegetation to be planted or seeded during restoration of the diverse habitats in the study area including tidal brackish, tidal transitional, tidal freshwater forested, and freshwater forested. Species suitable for tidal and freshwater bioengineering, freshwater forested understory enhancement, and riparian buffer (seeding) are being identified as well.Purpose: To provide recommendations for vegetation in the Lower Passaic Restoration Projec
