Section 7:9D-1.14 - Provisions for denial, revocation, or cancellation of well permits

(a) The Department shall deny the issuance of a well permit upon a determination of the following:

1. The well driller has failed to pay the required initial or renewal licensing fee, pursuant to these rules or the Subsurface and Percolating Waters Act. Such action taken by the Department to deny such well permit applications shall not restrict or prohibit the property owner from securing the services of another New Jersey licensed well driller to obtain a permit to drill well; or

2. The site where the well is to be drilled is designated by the Department as an area where wells may not be constructed, including, but not limited to, contaminated aquifers, areas of salt water intrusion, and other areas where environmental remediation may be adversely affected by the construction and/or operation of wells.

(b) The Department may revoke a well permit upon a determination of the following:

1. The permit application contained false or inaccurate information; or

2. The owner, well driller, or both failed to comply with any requirement of the Act or this subchapter or has not complied with one or more conditions of the State well permit issued for the particular well.

(c) Within 90 days after the date of expiration of a well permit, the well driller shall cancel all approved State well permits which have expired and for which well construction was never initiated. All cancellations shall be submitted using the Department's electronic permitting system. If the original well permit was issued on paper, the well driller may submit a paper cancellation form available on the Department's website pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:9D-1.17, which includes well permit number(s), name of owner, signature of drilling contractor, registration number, and date.
