Abstract

Streams and lakes accumulate chemicals from many different human activities across the landscape (fig. 1). Watersheds collect water from precipitation that runs off the land surface, carrying with it chemicals from urban and residential areas (streets, sidewalks, parking lots, lawns, and gardens); crop lands treated with pesticides, manures, and other organic and inorganic fertilizers; pastures and animal-production facilities; and lands where energy and mineral resources are extracted. Municipal, commercial and domes-tic wastewater-treatment systems, industries, and landfills can discharge their wastewaters directly to streams, and although the wastewater typically is treated, current treatment technologies are not designed to remove all chemicals. Groundwater, which discharges to streams and accounts for much of streamflow during dry seasons, also can carry contaminants from spills, leaks, septic systems, and land-applied chemicals that infiltrate to the water table as well as naturally occurring chemicals that leach from aquifer material. Even chemicals from smoke-stacks, automobiles, and other emissions to the atmosphere can make their way into streams. As a result, surface waters can have complex mixtures of natural and anthropogenic chemicals that include pes-ticides, pharmaceuticals, household chemicals, and a wide range of chemicals produced as waste byprod-ucts of commercial and industrial activities.

Abstract

This report describes the results of a study, conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Pinelands Commission and the Town of Hammonton, New Jersey, to identify reasons for reduced infiltration in the infiltration trenches at the Hammonton LAF and to assess the potential for similar conditions to exist elsewhere in the New Jersey Coastal Plain (particularly within the PNR).
