Information depicted on the Critical Areas Maps has been prepared as accurately as possible; nevertheless, it must be understood that detailed information mapped at such a large scale may not represent the actual conditions on any particular parcel of land.

Finally, while not included as a "critical areas" environmental factor per se, hydric soils have been mapped as part of the Land Use Plan portion of the Frelinghuysen Township Master Plan, and such lands shall not be developed where prohibited by this ordinance or state and/or federal law(s).
