concentrations of both low and high molecular weight PAHs were elevated in many samples; however, 

 the concentrations of total PAHs exceeded the ERM value in only two samples. The PAH concentra- 

 tions were particularly high in the sample from station 1 in the Passaic River. The samples collected in 

 the Passaic River (stations 1-11) and the sample from station 26 (central Newark Bay) had elevated 

 concentrations of many chemicals. 



Table 32. Samples from the Phase 2 stations that equalled or exceeded the respective ERM or 

 SQC values for each major substance or class of compounds. Stations in which the concentra- 

 tion exceeded the guideline by >2x are listed in bold (n=20).
