Because the surrounding neighborhoods are completely sewerized, the creek has little natural inflow of natural freshwater, and is largely stagnant except as a result of tides. [1] [9] Its outgoing flow of 14 billion US gallons (53,000,000 m 3) per year consists of CSO, urban runoff, raw domestic sewage, and industrial wastewater.

The river is profoundly influenced by the ocean's tides for over half its length, creating an estuary which stretches 153 miles (246 km) and includes a wide range of wetland habitats. The reserve sites reflect this diversity, from the brackish marshes of Piermont to the slightly brackish wetlands of Iona Island , and the freshwater tidal ...
