Abstract
This document presents watershed specific surface water quality assessments based upon water monitoring and assessment methods described in Chapter III of the New Jersey 1996 State Water Quality Inventory Report.The material presented in this Appendix is organized according to the 20 Watershed Management Areas that function as chapters. Each of these Management Areas (chapters) begins with a summary fact-sheet that describes the Area in general terms and summarizes its swimming and aquatic life support status. This is followed by individual assessments of each of the assessed watersheds (subchapters) that lie within the Management Area. Discussions of each Management Area conclude with a table detailing the macroinvertebrate assessments on a site by site basis. Each watershed assessment (subchapter) is in turn divided into the following discussions: watershed description; water quality assessment presented in both detailed and summary form; description of point and nonpoint source pollution within the watershed; and brief summary of the attainment of designated uses within the watershed.

Water Quality Inventory Reports are provided by states and several interstate agencies every two years, beginning in 1975, under Section 305(b) of the Federal Clean Water Act. Within New Jersey, the water quality results contained in these reports are used by water program managers to inform decisions regarding program direction and strategies.
