Monitoring is performed at each station weekly during the summer sampling season from May through September and monthly during the winter sampling season from October through April. Results are obtained through the use of a handheld meter for in-situ measurements and analytical analyses performed by the certified analytical laboratories at the NJHDG facilities.

The main objective of the NJHDG Long-Term Ambient Water Quality Monitoring Program is to develop a comprehensive database for conventional chemical water quality parameters on the existing water quality of the New Jersey waters of the NY / NJ Harbor by routinely and extensively sampling the waters of the Passaic River, Hackensack River, Newark Bay, Arthur Kill, Raritan River, Raritan Bay, and the Hudson River. The NJHDG program has effectively served to eliminate the data gap for the New Jersey waters of the NY / NJ Harbor by monitoring water bodies that are not currently monitored by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Surface Water Quality Monitoring Network, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Surface Water Quality Gages, or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) New York Bight Water Quality Monitoring Program.
