Proposed Action:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Union County is proposing to make recreational improvements to a 1.14-acre portion of the undeveloped park area known as the Clark Reservoir.\u00a0 The Clark Reservoir is a 200-acre park with a large body of water and surrounding land located in the municipalities of Clark, Scotch Plains and Westfield, New Jersey.\u00a0\u00a0 It was formerly known as the Middlesex Water Co. Reservoir.\u00a0\u00a0With the exception of improvements to the dam, the Clark Reservoir has remained unchanged since the Middlesex Water Company transferred the property to the Township of Clark in the 1990s, and the Township transferred it to the County in 2008.<\/p>\n

The proposed changes will include constructing: (1) a boat ramp with a floating dock; (2) a fishing pier; (3) a fixed timber pier with kayak storage and floating dock with kayak launches; (3) a boat storage building that will include a stamped concrete patio and public restrooms; (4) new hiking trails, or renovations to existing ones, including two pedestrian bridges and a retaining wall in the northeast corner of the central lake (between the Raritan Road and NJ Parkway Bridges); (5) a stormwater detention area solely serving the Park; (6) parking facilities that will have access through Madison Ave for the central lake; and (7) a boat ramp on the east lake (east of the Parkway Bridge) with parking area that will have access through Wendell Avenue.<\/p>\n
