Section 7:10-12.12 - Minimum distance requirements

(a) The minimum distances at which certain components of a public noncommunity or nonpublic water system shall be located away from sanitary sewer and septic systems, fuel storage tanks and other structures are set forth in N.J.A.C. 7:9D-2.

1. An administrative authority may require a greater distance than that required in N.J.A.C. 7:9D-2 between a well and a sewage system component where gravel, limestone, or fractured, creviced or fissured rock formations are expected to be encountered during drilling.

2. An administrative authority shall approve a reduction in the distance required between a well and a disposal field or a seepage pit to a minimum of 50 feet if the well is provided with a casing to a depth of 50 feet or more and such casing extends to, and is sealed into, a confining layer separating the aquifer into which the well is drilled from the stratum of soil in which the disposal field is located.

3. The administrative authority shall approve a reduction in the distance from a well to a building sewer to a minimum of 15 feet if it can be demonstrated that the building sewer is watertight and there are no other practicable alternatives.
