"The Jordan Cove watershed located along the Connecticut side of the long Island Sound in Waterford, CT. Jordan Cove is a small estuary fed by Jordan Brook; the estuary empties into Long Island Sound. Water quality sampling has indicated that the Cove does not meet bacteriological standards for shellfish growing and sediment sampling has revealed high concentrations of arsenic. Part of the area selected for a monitoring project was designed as a traditional subdivision and the other part was designed as a "BMP" section. The construction of the "traditional subdivision" began in June, 1997 and the construction of the "non-traditional subdivision" began in March, 2000."
