Water Resources Data, New Jersey, Water Year 1990. Volume 2. Ground-Water Data

Water Resources data for the 1990 water year for New Jersey consists of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground water. This volume of the report contains ground water levels for 218 observation wells and water-quality data for 176 wells. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System operated by the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in New Jersey.

Flood magnitude and frequency of Pochack Creek at two sites, at Pennsauken Township, New Jersey

Six methods were used to estimate the magnitude and frequency of floods at Pochack Creek at the down- stream end of the culvert on United States Route 130 and at a second site about 1,600 feet upstream at Pennsauken Township, New Jersey. Flood magnitude and frequency calculated by the six methods, as well as drainage-basin characteristics, are included in this report. The 100-year-flood estimates for the culvert site range from 280 cubic feet per second to 2,600 cubic feet per second. The 100-year-flood estimates for the upstream site range from 216 cubic feet per second to 1,800 cubic feet per second. Flood magni- tude and frequency estimates obtained by using the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Special Report 38 method fall within the range of values estimated by using the U.S. Geological Survey transfer method with data collected from three nearby crest-stage gages.

Summary report of the sediments, structural framework, petroleum potential, and environmental conditions of the United States Mid-Atlantic continental margin in area of proposed Oil & Gas Lease Sale No. 59

This report has been compiled to update and summarize the geological information concerning the area of the Atlantic continental margin off the U.S. Mid-Atlantic proposed for Oil and Gas Lease Sale No. 59 (fig. 1). The region of interest lies between 35° and 41° N and 70.5° and 76° W. The north-south dimension is about 660 km (356 nautical miles, 410 statute miles) and the maximum east-west dimension is approximately 250 km (135 nautical miles, 155 statute miles). The area is centered toward the outer Continental Shelf off Delaware and contains more than 154,000 km2 (38,000,000 acres) off the coasts of North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and New York. Water depths within the region range from 20 to slightly more than 4,000 m (fig. 1). This report begins with a discussion of the regional geology and geophysics, followed by a description of the oil and gas potential and potential environmental hazards.
