N2 - As part of the NJ Toxics Reduction Workplan for NY/NJ Harbor, ambient water samples were collected at 15 locations along the tidal portions of the Hackensack, Passaic, Raritan, Rahway and Elizabeth Rivers, and in Newark Bay, the Arthur Kill, and Kill van Kull. A Trace Organics Platform Sampler was used to collect a total of 73 dissolved phase and 73 suspended sediment phase samples between June 2000 and May 2002. These samples were analyzed for spatial and wet versus dry weather trends in the 114 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs; modified USEPA Method 1668A). Mean total PCB concentrations at the sampling locations ranged between 3.45 and 56 ng/L. PCB homolog groups distribution patterns at the sampling locations are presented.
