DescriptionWater-quality samples collected from the Millstone River at Weston, New Jersey, and the Shark River at Remsen Mill, New Jersey, during March-September 1992 were analyzed for 20 pesticides. Eight base-flow samples and 24 stormflow samples were collected from the Millstone River. Four trip blanks and two duplicate samples also were analyzed to maintain quality assurance. Nine base-flow samples and 13 stormflow samples were collected from the Shark River. One trip blank and one duplicate sample also were analyzed. Results of analyses indicated that four pesticides--alachlor, atrazine, metolachlor, and simazine--were present in low concentrations in the water samples collected from the Millstone River. No pesticides were present in samples collected from the Shark River. In general, concentrations of pesticides were higher in samples collected from the Millstone River during stormflows than in samples collected during base flows.
