Description:

Abstract:

This data consists of the 2010 New Jersey Integrated List of Waters (Integrated List) prepared as Appendix A of the 2010 NJ Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report. This data represents the results of assessing NJ's 952 assessment units to determine if applicable designated use(s) was(were) attained.
The data reflects which of five sublists each assessment/designated use combination was assigned:
Sublist 1- All applicable designated uses were assessed and attained (with the exception of Fish Consumption) Sublist 2- The applicable designated use was attained. Sublist 3- Insufficient data was available to assess use attainment. Sublist 4- The designated use was not attained but a TMDL or other measures are being implemented to improve water quality. Sublist 5- The designated use was not attained and a TMDL is required.

Purpose:

This data set spatially represents the use assessment results for the 2010 NJ Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report, which is prepared by the Department pursuant to Section 305(b) of the federal Clean Water Act.

Supplemental_Information:

Data is current until 2010 Integrated List is approved by USEPA.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Layer was derived from the HUC14 coverage. Positional Accuracy for Huc14 states:
NJGS received sub-huc14 basins coverage from USGS-WRD in NAD27 UTM coordinates and began processing into Dephuc14 in NAD83 State Plane Feet coordinates. Projection resulted in a coverage that was shifted about 735 ft SSW in comparison to earlier coverages. The reason for, and origin of this shift is unknown. Therefore, the projected coverage was manually transformed using an affine transformation to best fit the correct line positions based on a comparison to earlier version of the dephuc14 coverage.
