Summary

This data release contains the concentration results for basic water-quality constituent class parameters (water temperature, pH, turbidity, and specific conductance), total nitrogen, total phosphorous, chloride, and trace elements in surface-water samples collected from two subsites within two vernal pools near Pleasant Grove, New Jersey in 2022-23. In the winter (December 2022 and February 2023) samples were collected at opposing ends of the ponds, or wherever ponding was sufficient for a sample to be taken. An additional sample was collected in July 2023 during the amphibian breeding season. The number of samples collected during each sampling event varied based on water availability and in July 2023 only one sample was collected [...]

Purpose

Data was collected to provide the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection with baseline and post-tree clearing water-quality data for two ponds within an approved freshwater wetland permit boundary. These two ponds are known breeding ponds for the state threatened Pine Barrens Treefrog, Hyla andersonii, which have been documented since at least 2005 from the subject ponds.
