Water Resources Division, NJ District 810 Bear Tavern Road, Suite 206 West Trenton, New Jersey 08628 March 17, 1995 Dear liaison committee member, The NAWQA liaison meeting planned for April 6 has been changed to April 20 due to a conflict with the marine and shallow water management meeting which will draw a number of you away. The NAWQA meeting will still be held in the USEPA Region II conference room in Edison, NJ. Enclosed is an agenda and a fact sheet on a related USGS program for your information. Since our last meeting, we have put together work tasks to analyze some of the existing data based on your input from the two previous meetings. We will present some early results for the bed sediment analysis and hope to be able to say something about biological data analysis. We will summarize other activities, including the stratification plans. Finally, we will present preliminary plans for two ground-water studies for your comment and suggestions. For all of these we solicit your candid comment.
