water resources of the Delaware River Basin.

Bay Water Quality Assessment Report required by the federal Clean Water 
Act (``CWA''). The 2012 Assessment will present the extent to which 
waters of the Delaware River and Bay are attaining designated uses in 
accordance with Section 305(b) of the CWA and the Commission's Water 
Quality Regulations (18 CFR part 410) and will identify impaired 
waters, which consist of waters that exceed surface water quality 
standards.
    The assessment methodology to be used in the 2012 Assessment is 
available for review at the following url: http://www.state.nj.gov/drbc/Methodology-WQAssess-draft_July2011.pdf.
