This layer shows all Category One (C1) designations based on the Exceptional Water Supply Significance (EWSS), Exceptional Fisheries Resource(s) (EFR), and Exceptional Ecological Significance (EES) definitions established in the Surface Water Quality Standards at N.J.A.C. 7:9B in 2003. The attributes contained in each point provide information on the exceptional significance each C1 segment was designated for, the waterbody name, classification, description of the C1 segment, the scientific basis used for designation, and the date of adoption into the SWQS. This interactive map is intended to be used as a supplemental tool for information purposes only, and is not legally binding. When interpreting the SWQS, the written standards found in the SWQS rules (N.J.A.C 7:9B) always take precedence. For specific information regarding tributaries to C1 waters impacted by this rule, please contact NJDEP at 609-633-1441. Note that this map does not pinpoint the specific habitat of threatened and endangered species in the State. For information on threatened and endangered species reported habitat, please consult the Division of Fish and Wildlife's Landscape Project. |
