- Abstract:
-
Advisory: C1 Waters are a reselect of the Surface Water Quality Standard's (SWQS) CATEGORY attribute. The information contained in this metadata record reflects the SWQS data. As stated in this metadata record's Use Constraints section, NJDEP makes no representations of any kind, including, but not limited to, the warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use, nor are any such warranties to be implied with respect to the digital data layers furnished hereunder. NJDEP assumes no responsibility to maintain them in any manner or form. By downloading this data, user agrees to the data use constraints listed within this metadata record. This data is a digital representation of New Jersey's Surface Water Quality Standards in accordance with "Surface Water Quality Standards for New Jersey Waters" as designated in N.J.A.C. 7:9 B. The Surface Water Quality Standards (SWQS) establish the designated uses to be achieved and specify the water quality (criteria) necessary to protect the State's waters. Designated uses include potable water, propagation of fish and wildlife, recreation, agricultural and industrial supplies, and navigation. These are reflected in use classifications assigned to specific waters. The line-work has been broken/altered to reflect the descriptions specified at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.15. When interpreting the stream classifications and anti-degradation designations, the descriptions specified in the SWQS at N.J.A.C. 7:9B-1.15 always take precedence. The GIS layer reflects the stream classifications and anti-degradation designations adopted as of the publication date and is supplemental only and is not legally binding.
- Purpose:
-
The hydrography stream network was created to support water management and monitoring activities within NJDEP, and to be a valuable layer for computerized cartographic products.

- Process_Description:
-
The base linework is the hydrography layer derived from the 2002 overflight. Where the standards specified a boundary, the appropriate source data was used to break the line segment to accurately reflect the written standard. The arcs were then coded for their surface water quality standards designation in accordance with "Surface Water Quality Standards for New Jersey Waters" as designated in N.J.A.C. 7:9 B-1. The old SWQS layer was the primary source used to determine attributes. The interpretation of the written text has already been done and was therefore used as a guide. Where the hydrography differed significantly between old and new, the correct entry in the standards was found, interpreted and then applied.

Digital color infrared (CIR) orthophotography of New Jersey in State Plane NAD83 Coordinates, U.S. Survey Feet. The digital orthophotography was produced at a scale of 1:2400 (1"=200') with a 1 foot pixel resolution. The linear streams layer and the polygonal water bodies extracted from the land use/land cover for 2002 was digitized directly from 2002 digital image files.

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.
