The Station Trout Aquatic Life Assessment Results represents the water quality results for all monitoring stations associated with the Trout Aquatic Life designated use included in the 2016 NJ Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (Integrated Report). This data represents the assessment results at monitoring stations in NJ's 199 assessment units with trout waters to determine if the Trout Aquatic Life designated use was attained and the results for the 22 water quality parameters associated with the designated use. The data reflects which of three sublists each assessment was assigned: Sublist 2- Full Attaining, Sublist 3- Insufficient data was available to assess, Sublist 5- Non-Attaining. Because of the number of stations originally assessed, any station where all parameters had insufficient data for an assessment were excluded from this file. 5.
