Abstract
Water quality standards, monitoring, and assessment provide the scientific foundation for the protection of New Jersey’s water resources and implementation of the federal Clean Water Act and the New Jersey Water Pollution Control Act. The 2010 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (Integrated Report) describes the overall quality of New Jersey’s surface waters based on data collected between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2008. This data is generated by various different monitoring organizations and is then compiled and evaluated by the Department to verify that the data meets the Department’s data quality requirements. Data is
then assessed using scientific methods developed specifically for the applicable type of
parameter, use, and waterbody to determine compliance with New Jersey’s surface water quality standards.
Description

by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Water Quality
