Attributes were checked for accuracy by field staff who collect data.
Points were drawn up with 1:24000 stream shapefiles for the associated county to confirm placement. Base layer was 1995-1997 1:12000 DOQ images.
Complete
Most point locations were created from GPS measurements. However, GPS measurements could not be obtained at many of the actual sampling locations due to terrain and leaf cover blockage. True sampling locations are within 100 yards upstream or downstream of points in this shapefile.

Locations of network stations
Location of network stations.
The NJDEP Ambient Stream Quality Monitoring Sites for New Jersey and the 303d Evaluation Monitoring Sites vector shapefiles were used to located the sampling stations. Several sites were moved upstream or downstream to visually differentiate between nearby stations. The sites were intersected with the NJDEP HUC 11 coverage to obtain HUC11, WMA, and Region information for each site.
