N.J. Admin. Code § 7:14A-19.1

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 23, December 2, 2024

Section 7:14A-19.1 - Purpose and scope

(a) This subchapter establishes requirements to:

1. Prevent the introduction of pollutants into a local agency's treatment works which may:

i. Interfere with the operation of the local agency's treatment works;

ii. Pass through or would otherwise be incompatible with the local agency's treatment works; or

iii. Interfere with the local agency's chosen method of sludge management;

2. Set forth the minimum requirements for all local agencies to control the discharge of pollutants by indirect users of the agencies' treatment works; and

3. Set forth the minimum requirements for the establishment and implementation of an approvable industrial pretreatment program (IPP) by local agencies. Such a program shall require the local agency to establish a regulatory program with adequate legal authority contained in IPP regulations which allows that agency to deny or permit contributions of pollutants to the treatment works, as well as enforce the applicable pretreatment program requirements.

(b) The Department adopts and incorporates herein by reference the General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources of Pollution, 40 CFR Part 403, and the National Pretreatment Standards in 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N, as amended and supplemented.

(c) Nothing in this subchapter shall preclude or deny the right of a local agency to independently implement an IPP or adopt any pretreatment requirements or standards which are more stringent than the requirements in 40 CFR Part 403, 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N, or the requirements in this subchapter.
