These data include watershed boundaries for monitoring sites as part of the New Jersey Pinelands Commission Long-term Environmental-monitoring program. Watersheds were prepared using ArcView software and digital hydrography data (NJDEP 1996). Watersheds were based on USGS HUC14 watersheds and modified where necessary using digital-topographic maps, ArcView software, and on-screen digitizing. The use of these data should include reference to one or more of the appropriate New Jersey Pinelands Commission Long-term Environmental-monitoring reports listed below.

Watersheds were prepared using ArcView software and digital hydrography data (NJDEP 1996). Basin boundaries were not available for some monitoring sites. These basins were modified from USGS HUC14 watersheds using digital-topographic maps, ArcView software, and on-screen digitizing.

Study basin in which the monitoring site is located.
Indicates whether this watershed corresponds with an anuran monitoring site. Values are 1 if there is a corresponding site or 0 if there is no corresponding site.
Indicates whether this watershed corresponds with a water-quality monitoring site. Values are 1 if there is a corresponding site or 0 if there is no corresponding site.
Indicates whether this watershed corresponds with a fish monitoring site. Values are 1 if there is a corresponding site or 0 if there is no corresponding site.
Indicates whether this watershed corresponds with a stream-vegetation monitoring site. Values are 1 if there is a corresponding site or 0 if there is no corresponding site.
