Bureau of Environmental Analysis, Restoration and Standards (BEARS)The pollutant of concern for these shellfish TMDLs is total coliform. Nonpoint and stormwater point sources are the primary sources of total coliform/fecal coliform loads in these waterbodies. Source loads were estimated for land uses in each watershed and for local marinas that may be causing water quality impacts in these waterbodies. TMDLs were developed based on an analysis of the existing pathogen indicator data compared to NSSP and NJDEP pathogen indicator criteria, and the loading capacity has been allocated among the point and nonpoint sources. The TMDL reports include implementation strategies that will bring the subject waterbodies into compliance with the NSSP criteria for unrestricted shellfish harvest.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/6c7bd01126a44353a50e2ed6ea1a6df9_113engNew Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) Bureau of GISPublicTotal Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for Shellfish-Impaired Waters in New Jersey [New Jersey]Web servicesNew JerseyLast Modified: 2025-11-24
