Description:

Abstract:

This data represents the stations on non-tidal rivers where metal data was collected and reported on the 2004 Integrated Report. The networks include the NJDEP 303d Evaluation Monitoring and Ambient Surface Water Monitoring Network (ASMN).

Purpose:

This data spatially represents the location of sampling stations whose data was used for assessments of metals in the 2004 Integrated Report.

Supplemental_Information:

2004 Integrated Report files retain the same basic content as the 2002 Integrated Report, with small changes in format. Some files were combined to consolidate information. For questions on metadata content, please contact Leigh Lager, NJDEP/BFBM 609-292-0427 or leigh.lager@dep.state.nj.us

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Attributes were checked for accuracy by field staff who collect data.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

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.

Completeness_Report: Complete

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

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.

Process_Description:

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.
