- Abstract
- The Newark Bay Complex, which is part of New York-New Jersey (NY-NJ) Harbor, consists of Newark Bay, the Arthur Kill and Kill van Kull tidal straits, and the Passaic and Hackensack Rivers. The presence of toxic chemicals in water and sediments throughout the harbor has resulted in reduced water quality, fisheries restrictions/advisories, and general adverse impacts to the estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Study I-E of the New Jersey Toxics Reduction Workplan for NYNJ Harbor is a comprehensive hydrodynamic study completed between the years 2000 and 2002 to begin to understand the effects of tidal, meteorological, and freshwater forces on circulation patterns in the system. In addition, a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the complex has been developed that replicates the available water elevation, salinity, and current velocity data.
