Description:

Abstract:

The Water Quality Data Exchange (WQDE) data maintains the locations of water quality monitoring stations from NJDEP's COMPASS database. A station is a location at which a data collection event takes place, such a collection of a field sample, measurement of field parameters or evaluation of environmental habitats.

Purpose:

The WQDE GIS layer was generated to support water quality analysis in NJDEP, and public access through data download and web-based interactive mapping applications (NJ-GeoWeb).

Process_Description:

Data is updated on a continuous basis. The IMAPDATA.VIEW_WQDE_MON_LOC2 Oracle view (from COMPASS) was generated to aggregate all necessary attribute fields that comprise the layer, including xy coordinates in the NJ State Plane Coordinate (NJSPC) system. This view was used as a source "table" for an ArcGIS model that consisted of the following steps: 1) Make an XY event layer using the NJSPC easting (X) and northing (Y) values (US feet). 2) Save the event theme to a layer file. 3) Copy the features from the layer file to an ArcSDE feature class. 4) Use the IDENTITY spatial overly tool along with the LJACOBY.STMUNHUC14ZIP GIS layer to supply additional spatial attribute values to the feature class. 5) Delete all of the unnecessary attribute fields that resulted from IDENTITY process step from the feature class.

Ordering_Instructions:

All available NJDEP public GIS data can be downloaded for free. Some data shown in NJGeoWeb application may not yet be available for download due to various data or distribution issues. Please email gisnet@dep.nj.gov with any data distribution questions.

Custom_Order_Process:

The NJDEP may distribute GIS data in a variety of formats, such as the ESRI shapefile and/or various versions of the file geodatabase format. The data also may be available for viewing on various profiles of the NJ GeoWeb online mapping application.
Note: Some older NJDEP data may not contain .prj files due to distribution procedures at that time. If download does not contain a .prj, please download from:
https://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/njsp83.zip
Please rename .prj to the name of the downloadable filename. (for example: If Head of Tides filename is HOT.shp, please rename .prj to HOT.prj). This allows ESRI software to recognize the projection information.
