Passaic River Headwaters and Watershed Significance
Chatham Borough sits at an important position in the Passaic River watershed. The Passaic River originates in the Highlands and flows through Morris County before entering Essex County and eventually Newark Bay. Properties along the Passaic River in Chatham with any connections near the river environment have environmental responsibilities for backflow protection. Annual certification contributes to protecting the Passaic River watershed.
