Description: The DEP/DOH has updated recreational fish consumption advisories for tributaries, lakes and ponds in the lower Delaware watershed as part of the state’s ongoing fish-safety monitoring program. The DEP has also expanded testing of fish in selected water bodies in various regions of the state to include several chemicals of emerging concern known as known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. These analyses have resulted in the DEP’s first consumption advisories for PFAS. All states have fish consumption advisories. Many of the fish on New Jersey’s advisory lists are typically caught and consumed and some people rely on some of the species on the advisory lists as a significant food source.The state’s ongoing public outreach activities concerning fish consumption advisories include responding to inquiries from the public by way of web and phone inquiries, as well as distribution of outreach materials to all New Jersey Women, Infants & Children (WIC) centers in English and Spanish. Information is also available to recreational anglers, local and county health departments, and other stakeholders. Chemical contaminant data obtained on fish collected in 2016-2017. Advisories generated in 2018.The DEP and Department of Health advise all anglers to get the latest advisories for the specific water body they fish by visiting www.fishsmarteatsmartnj.org
Description: The purpose of this layer is to a) identify sites that currently have or previously had chromate waste levels above standard and b) identify sites that were originally listed as chrome sites but later found not to have chromate waste contamination present above standard following sampling. The Site Status attribute field will serve to identify the specific category associated with each chrome site.

Description: The Assessment Unit (AU) Level Fish Consumption Assessment Results incorporates the water quality results for all water quality monitoring stations, fish tissue sampling sites, and fish consumption advisories associated within an AU that is included in the 2016 NJ Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report (Integrated Report). This data represents the assessment results in NJ's 958 AUs to determine if the Fish Consumption designated use was attained and the results for the 28 fish tissue and water quality parameters associated with the designated use. If an AU includes more than one source of sampling data, the results for each parameter are combined with the ‘worst case’ assessment representing the AU. That is if any of the data sources are impaired for a parameter, then the parameter is impaired at the AU level. If some data sources are fully attaining for a 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. Since it was not possible to show fish consumption advisories and the spatial extent of many fish tissue sampling sites, only the AU level assessment results are mapped. The 303(d) List includes the impairment source for non-supporting Fish Consumption parameters. Because of the large number of parameters associated with fish consumption, if a parameter had insufficient data for an assessment throughout the state then the parameter was removed from the file. The result was a reduction from 62 parameters to 28 parameters that had sufficient data for an assessment.
