The air we breathe can consist of many contaminants including ozone, sulfur dioxide (SO2) particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Each of these contaminants has specific impacts on human health and the environment and is therefore monitored by the Department of Environmental Protection. The results of this monitoring are tracked below.

As water quality decreases, the ability of the system to support its inhabitants decreases as well. In addition, as water quality decreases, the natural biological diversity of a system is replaced with species that are pollution resistant. For those of us who lack the expertise to know otherwise, a system may look healthy with numerous fish present, but in reality ... read more

Environmental Health is impacted by three major categories – non point source discharges (stormwater), point source discharges, and air deposition. The degree of impact to the environment caused by each category is dependent upon human behavior and the weather. The following performance measures track some of the behaviors that have been found to most impact our environment.

Habitats are vital to the watershed for several reasons. They provide shelter
and nursing grounds for organisms, filter water and provide protection for
sensitive areas just to name a few. The following measures track the amount of
some of our most important habitats.

The following parameters are analyzed to determine the quality of a waterbody. If a parameter meets criteria, then its concentration has been determined to not contribute to poor water quality. It should be noted that not all parameters have the same trend data due to data collection limitations.
Total Nitrogen
Total Phosphorus
Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
Total Suspended Solids (Turbidity)
