The Integrated Report describes attainment of the designated uses specified in New Jersey's Surface Water Quality Standards (N.J.A.C. 7:9B), which include: aquatic life, recreation, drinking water, fish consumption, shellfish consumption, industrial and agricultural. The Integrated Report provides water resource managers and citizens with information regarding: • the use attainment status for all assessed waters of the State, • the methods used to assess use attainment, • the pollutants causing water quality impairment(s) and their sources, and • management strategies, including total maximum daily loads (TMDLs), under development to achieve surface water quality standards and attain the designated uses of the waters. The Integrated Report also identifies ongoing and planned strategies to maintain and improve water quality statewide, improve and expand water quality monitoring and improve water quality assessment methods. Federal Reporting Requirements: The Federal Clean Water Act (Act) mandates that states submit biennial reports to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) describing the quality of their waters. The biennial Water Quality Inventory Report or “305(b) Report” must include the status of principal waters in terms of overall water quality and support of designated uses, as well as strategies to maintain and improve water quality. The 305(b) reports are used by Congress and USEPA to establish program priorities and funding for federal and state water resource management programs. The Act also requires states to biennially submit to USEPA a list of waterbodies that are not attaining water quality standards, despite the implementation of technology-based effluent limits. All such impaired waterbodies must be identified on this List of Water Quality Limited Waters or “303(d) List.” States must prioritize 303(d)-listed waterbodies for Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) analyses and identify those high priority waterbodies for which they anticipate establishing TMDLs in the next two years. The Integrated Report satisfies the reporting requirements of sections 303(d), 305(b) and 314 and, in doing so, also satisfies the 305(b) reporting requirement for section 106 grant New Jersey 2006 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring And Assessment Report New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection December 2006 funds. For states to be eligible for section 106 grant funds, section 106(e)(1) requires that states must have the means to monitor water quality (including “navigable waters and to the extent practicable, ground waters”) and annually update water quality data and include it in their section 305(b) submittals. As per the 2006 Integrated Reporting Guidance, USEPA will not award any section 106 funding under a section 106 grant or a performance partnership grant (PPG) to any state that has not annually updated its monitoring data and submitted the most recent report required under section 305(b). By April 1 of all even numbered years, states must submit to USEPA the description of the water quality of all waters in the State and the extent to which the quality of waters provides for the protection and propagation of a balanced population of shellfish, fish, and wildlife and allows recreational activities in and on the water. USEPA began issuing guidance (USEPA 2001) for the development of an Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (Integrated Report) by the states beginning with the Year 2002 submittal. The Integrated Report improves overall water quality reporting by providing detailed descriptions of data sources and assessment methods as a basis for sound, technical assessment decisions not included in earlier 305(b) Reports. In addition, assessment results are represented in a spatial context, presenting a clearer picture of water quality across the State. Monitoring needs and schedules are described, facilitating the articulation of monitoring priorities and identifying opportunities for cooperation with other agencies and watershed partners. TMDL needs and schedules, as well as other management strategies, are defined to convey plans for water quality improvements. Finally, the public participation aspects provide opportunities for data submittal and open discussion of water quality assessment methods and results. The Department’s 2006 Integrated Report was developed based on USEPA guidance for the preparation of 2006 Integrated Lists. About This Report: The 2006 Integrated Report is organized into two components, the Main Report, which serves as a summary document explaining each aspect of the water quality assessment process and the overall results; and an Appendix, which includes the reports, findings, methods, and other documentation supporting the results of the statewide use attainment assessment. The Main Report includes the following chapters: 1. Overview of New Jersey’s Water Resources 2. Water Quality Monitoring 3. Water Quality Assessment (Includes assessment methods, data used and trends ) 4. Results of 2006 Water Quality Assessment 5. Water Quality Management (Includes program descriptions) 6. Public Health Concerns 7. Cost/Benefit Analysis 8. Public Participation, and 9. Next Steps: Preparing for 2008 and Beyond Executive Summary 2 New Jersey 2006 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring And Assessment Report New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection December 2006 The Appendix includes: • Appendix A: The Integrated List organized by designated uses • Appendix B: 303(d) List∗ of Water Quality Limited Waters (or “List of Impaired Waters”), including priority ranking for TMDLs • Appendix C: Delisted Waters, indicating where waters previously listed on Sublist 5 of the 2004 Integrated List are currently identified on the 2006 Integrated List. • Appendix D: The Two-Year TMDL Schedule • Appendix E: Response to Comments Document containing all Department responses to public and USEPA comments on the Methods Document and Integrated List, as mandated by the public participation process. • Appendix F: Data sources used for the water quality assessment • Appendix G: Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Methods (Methods Document) detailing the Department’s assessment methods as applied to the Integrated List. • Appendix H: New Jersey’s Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Strategy • Appendix I: New Jersey’s Ambient Ground Water Monitoring Network, including an assessment of ground water quality

  • Musconetcong River National Wild and Scenic Rivers Study
    Musconetcong River National Wild and Scenic Rivers Study River Management Plan Prepared by: Musconetcong River Management Council Musconetcong Watershed Association Heritage Conservancy National Park Service June 2011 Update The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government. Mention of trade names or commercial products does not constitute their endorsement by the U.S. Government. Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic River Management Plan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This management plan proposes a strategy for managing the Musconetcong River and its many outstanding resource values. It was prepared as part of a study to evaluate the Musconetcong River for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The Musconetcong River drains a 157.6 square mile watershed area in northern New Jersey, and as a major tributary to the Delaware River, is part of the 12,755 square mile Delaware River watershed. The Musconetcong River is a boundary water for its entire length, first dividing Morris and Sussex counties, then Hunterdon and Warren counties. All or portions of 26 municipalities lie within the natural boundaries of the Musconetcong watershed. Fourteen municipalities fall within the river segments eligible for National Wild and Scenic Rivers designation. The impetus for the Musconetcong National Wild and Scenic Rivers study can be traced back to 1991, when petitions were circulated calling for the protection of the Musconetcong River under both the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System and New Jersey Wild and Scenic Rivers program. In 1992, Congress passed legislation authorizing the National Park Service to study the eligibility and potential suitability of the Lower Delaware River for addition to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
