Section 7:14A-23.29 - Residual dewatering lagoons

(a) The use of lagoons for the drying or residuals is permissible provided that:

1. The lagoons shall be sufficiently isolated from existing and possible future residences as to afford such residences reasonable protection from odors or other nuisances which may arise from the operation of such lagoons;

2. The permeability of the bottom and sides of the lagoon shall not exceed 1 x 10[LESS THAN]-7[GREATER THAN] cm/sec, for solid waste classes I.D. 12, 73, and 74 as defined by 7:26-2.13(g). For other solid waste I.D. classes of residuals, the bottom and side permeability shall be approved by the Department, on a case-by-case basis, after evaluating the specific chemical characteristics of the residuals to be dewatered;

3. The area provided shall be at least double that specified for open drying beds, and a sufficient number of lagoon units shall be available to permit withdrawals from service and cleaning at necessary intervals. The means provided for residual removal, ultimate management and resting intervals shall be indicated;

4. Shallow residual dewatering lagoons shall meet the requirements of 7:14A-23.32(d);

5. Residuals shall be properly stabilized for pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:14A-20 prior to discharge to the lagoon; and

6. Means shall be provided for obtaining representative samples of the residual prior to discharge to the residual lagoon pursuant to the measuring, recording, and sampling requirements in 7:14A-23.14.
