Swartswood Lake
The USGS will collect monthly water quality and quantity data from Neldon's Brook and Indian Brook in support of the Swartswood Lake and Watershed Association's (SWLA) development of a regional storm water management plan (RSWMP).
Source Water Assessment for Program -- Vulnerability of Public Supply Wells and Surface Water Intakes in New Jersey to Chemicals of Concern
A new Federal statute adopted by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) concerning Source Water Assessment Program requires NJDEP to conduct assessments on the vulnerability of public supply wells (community and noncommunity) and surface water intakes to 84 contaminants of concern. These contaminants include pathogens, inorganics, nutrients, pesticides, volatile organic...
Evaluation of bacterial contamination in surface water and shallow groundwater in Morristown National Historical Park, New Jersey
The problem of fecal coliform bacterial contamination in an anti-degradation stream requires characterization of possible source, additional contaminants, and the potential rate of mobility. This synoptic study will investigate water quality from an additional surface water site and up to 7 groundwater sites in addition to ongoing fixed-station surface-water monitoring during selected seasonal...
Incorporation Of Detailed, New Jersey Specific Hydrologic Information Into The Wetland Construction And Mitigation Planning Process - Review of wetland construction design
The NJDEP is responsible for the review of proposals for wetlands mitigation and restoration submitted to the Wetland Mitigation Council. They have expressed concern that the failure of various wetland mitigation projects may be a result of problems with the hydrology of the sites. The goal of this project is to Assess the extent of hydrologic data and information that are used in typical wetland...
Analysis of interactions between groundwater and surface-water in the Ramapo River
Competition for new water allocations and efforts to protect existing diversion rights have become contentious issued in the Ramapo River Basin.
Investigation of Groundwater Conditions and Related Potential Threats to Water Supply and Surface-Water Resources in the Atlantic Coastal Watersheds of South-Central New Jersey
Anticipated growth in the coastal watersheds of Ocean County, New Jersey has heightened concerns about the future availability of water supply and potential effects of human activities on fluvial and estuarine resources. The overall objectives for the project are to develop an improved hydrologic database and analytical tools for resource management and to apply these tools to improve the present...
Low-Flow Characteristics - Archive
To determine regional low-flow relationships for both the 2-year and 10-year 7-day low flows throughout New Jersey, so that accurate estimations of these values at ungaged sites can be made
