2011 Public Hearing - On Wednesday, November 30, 2011 the New Jersey Clean Water Council and the Water Supply Advisory Council seek public testimony regarding a critical question in the management of wastewater and water supply infrastructure: how should we measure long-term success in utility asset management? This hearing follows on 2010 recommendations by the Clean Water Council to the Departments of Environmental Protection and Community Affairs, and the Board of Public Utilities regarding water asset management and maintenance (see http://www.state.nj.us/dep/cleanwatercouncil/hearing2010.htm). For more information, please see the Save the Date announcement.

 

Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Results - Kevin Berry from the Division of Water Monitoring and Standards presented an overview of the NJ 2010 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report to EPA. The report satisfies Federal Clean Water Act reporting requirements under sections 305(b) and 303(d). The presentation covered what the Integrated Report is, how it is generated and what the interim results were in 2010 in terms of statewide water quality status and trends.

Note that the final results and report are not out yet so the info presented were interim results subject to change pending the final.
