The Highlands of Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania

The New York-New Jersey Highlands Regional Study Technical Report is a very large document (317 pages with many graphics); therefore, we provided both pdf and html versions which had to be broken down by section(s). Note: Allow sufficient time for the entire document to load in your browser. The html document will load much faster than the pdf document.

This New York-New Jersey Highlands Regional Study Technical Report, accompanies the New York-New Jersey Highlands Regional Study: 2002 Update. The technical Report provides greater detail on the data sources, methodology, and results concerning the assessment and analysis conducted as part of the Study Update.

For more information on the technical report, contact Ed Boyer at 570-296-9625.
