Hanson's and Heroy's Ponds.

Heroy's Pond and stream are located in Wall Township.
The stream starts in Hanson's pond which is spring fed and travels east through Heroy's stream and pond to the river.
The branch behind Roger's CT off Belmar Blvd. is mostly dry and used for storm drainage from the surrounding neighborhoods.
From Marconi Rd. to the pond entrance the stream is encased in a 36 inch pipe that runs parallel to State Hwy. 138.
The pond is the home to a large domestic duck and goose population which may be the cause of the high levels of fecal coliform.
There is also a sanitary sewer that is in the river and runs parallel to Belmar Blvd.
Directly at the entrance to the bay is a clam bed that has been closed for years due to high bacteria levels.
