(b) A WMP meeting the requirements of this chapter shall be submitted no later than May 7, 2018, unless the WMP agency requests and is granted an alternative submission schedule in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15-3.4. A WMP prepared and adopted in accordance with the rules in effect as of July 7, 2008, will satisfy this submission requirement.

(c) Each WMP agency shall submit an updated WMP at least once every 10 years after the WMP submitted in accordance with (b) above. The WMP agency may submit an updated WMP prior to expiration of the 10-year period from the prior WMP. However, approval of an alternative submission schedule must be obtained from the Department in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15-3.4 to submit an updated WMP more than 10 years after the previously submitted WMP.

(d) If the WMP agency fails to submit a WMP in accordance with the time frames specified in (b) and (c) above and municipalities do not request WMP planning responsibility in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:15-2.8 and submit a WMP, the Department may prepare and adopt WMP components for sewer service area mapping, wastewater treatment capacity analysis, and nitrate dilution capacity analysis for that area.

(e) Individual components of a WMP may be adopted, returned, or disapproved under N.J.A.C. 7:15-3.5 independent of other components or chapters; however, the minimum scale for these WMP components shall be an entire municipality.
