The Assessment Unit (AU) Level Recreation Assessment Results incorporates the water quality results for all monitoring stations associated within an AU that is included in the 2018-2020 NJ Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (Integrated Report). This data represents the assessment results in 30 of NJ’s AUs to determine if the Secondary Recreation designated use was attained and the results for the water quality parameter associated with the designated use. If an AU includes more than one station, the results for the parameter are combined with the ‘worst case’ station assessment representing the AU. That is if any of the stations are impaired for the parameter, then the parameter is impaired at the AU level. If some stations are fully attaining for the parameter but others have insufficient data, the parameter is fully attaining. The data reflects which of three assessment results each assessment was assigned: Attaining- Fully Supporting, Insufficient Data- Insufficient data was available to assess, Non-Attaining- Non-Supporting. |
