Flooding
Ridgefield Park sits between the Hackensack River and Overpeck Creek. FEMA's Flood Insurance Study says principal flooding in southern Bergen County comes from tidal stages of Newark Bay affecting the Hackensack River and Overpeck Creek, and it includes a detailed study of Overpeck Creek in the village.
The National Flood Hazard Layer maps Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE) within the village. An NJDEP sewer-overflow permit document names both waterways as receiving waters. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
