Message:	I urge you to direct DEP to reject the WMP amendment proposal for the Continuing Care Retirement Community in Morris Twp, Morris County. There are three important reasons you should do this. 1. DEP infrastructure loan staff required the only Level 3 Environmental Review ever conducted in New Jersey for an application to extend sewers several years ago because of its location upstream from trout production waters, in the headwaters of the Whippany, and the minimum amount of existing development. DEP required strict conditions to allow for remediation of failing septics only and specifically prohibited sewage infrastructure for new development. Allowing a developer to build a duplicate line would violate these conditions and establish a disastrous precedent. 2. Approval would undermine your Smart Growth initiative by allowing duplicate infrastructure in Planning Area 5 that would promote growth, at the very edge of the Highlands and next to the first National Historic Park designated in the United States - Morristown National Historical Park, Jockey Hollow section. 3. Approval of this application would violate the intent of federal anti-degradation requirements for protecting waters from secondary (the development) as well as primary impacts (the sewer line). Thank you for your urgent attention to this precedent setting issue. Sincerely,
