NJ Water Quality Data

| 
In 2010, NJ published a daset of streams which classifies them by their "designated uses" for surface water quality. Cold water streams, of which we are exclusively interested, are classified as follows:
| FW1-TP | The highest quality streams in the state, and receive the highest level of protection. These are shown as cyan lines in the photo. |
| FW2-TPC1 | Slightly lower quality, these receive a "C1" level of protection, nearly as strong as the FW1 streams receive. These are the blue lines in the photo. |
| FW2-TPC2 | These streams receive a lower, "C2" level of protection. These are magenta. |
The data used to create this image can be downloaded from the NJ Resources menu in the sidebar. Note the FW2-TPC1 streams are contained in two files. This is simply because the tool I use places a 10MB limit on any one KML file.
