Appendix A

GUIDE TO THE NJPDES PERMIT PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS

Appendix A is designed to assist a new applicant, or permittee in following the permit procedural requirements set out in this chapter. An applicant should read the full text of the regulations before applying for a permit.

The flow chart outlines a sequence of events directed by arrows and is divided into two sections as follows:

Section 1--Application Procedures

Section 1 outlines the actions leading to a permit application and the Department's administrative review of the application. The key items in this section are that prior to a permit application an applicant shall have:

1. Received a determination of consistency (unless submitting a concurrent permit and plan amendment application) pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-15.4(b) in accordance with the Statewide Water Quality Management Planning Rules at N.J.A.C. 7:15; and

2. Requested a letter of comment or objections from the municipality or sewerage authority pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:14A-4.3(a)13.

Section 2--Permit Decision Process

Section 2 outlines the steps in the technical review of the permit application, how a permit will be prepared and publicly noticed for comment, and how a final permit decision will be issued. The key item in this section is the public comment period (N.J.A.C. 7:14A-15.10) . Unless issues are raised during this period they may not be adjudicated during the hearing process if the applicant appeals the Department's final decision on the permit.
