Technical Support and Related Documents
The Bureau of Water Quality Standards and Assessment (BWQSA) is responsible for the development, adoption, and administration of New Jersey's Surface Water Quality Standards and Ground Water Quality Standards. BWQSA is also responsible for conducting and coordinating water quality assessments of all waters of the State. These assessments are reported through the New Jersey Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (Integrated Report).
Below are links to various technical support documents and other documents related to the development and administration of the Surface Water Quality Standards Program, the Ground Water Quality Standards Program, and the Water Quality Assessment Program.
