To inform the public.

Description:

Stormwater sampling for colloidal and dissolved metals and organic carbon has been initiated at six outfalls draining locally-designated, nonindustrial land uses in Monmouth County, NJ. Of the heavy metals, only Cu and Zn were found in all samples, mostly in dissolved form. Larger colloids (>0.45 um) were composed mostly of Fe, Al, and Si. Organic colloids were found mostly in the 0.01-0.45 um size range.
