- Abstract:
-
This data represents the stations on non-tidal rivers where sampling data was collected for benthic macroinvertebrates and reported in the 2004 Integrated Report. The networks include NJDEP/USGS Ambient Biomonitoring Network (AMNET) and Monmouth County Biomonitoring Network.
- Purpose:
-
This data spatially represents the location of sampling stations whose data was used for assessments of aquatic life designated uses in the 2004 Integrated Report.

Most point locations were created from GPS measurements. However, GPS measurements could not be obtained at many of the actual sampling locations due to terrain and leaf cover blockage. True sampling locations are within 100 yards upstream or downstream of points in this shapefile.

- Process_Description:
-
The NJDEP Ambient Biomonitoring Network for New Jersey and the Monmouth County Ambient Biomonitoring Network vector shapefiles were used for the majority of site placement , however, location of a few sites were digitized using GPS coordinates or by USGS Topoquads with the site location. Several sites were moved upstream or downstream to visually differentiate between nearby sites.
The sites were intersected with the NJDEP HUC 11 coverage to obtain HUC11, WMA, and Region information for each site.
