Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 7:14A-12.1
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) This subchapter specifies Federal and State effluent standards which may be incorporated into a permit as an effluent limitation for direct discharges to surface water including those discharges conveyed to surface water via storm sewers and indirect discharges to DTWs.
(b) The effluent standards contained in this subchapter are applicable as follows:
1.
Regarding stormwater discharges:
i. Any
discharge of stormwater authorized by a general permit is exempt from the
requirements of this subchapter unless such general permit provides
otherwise;
ii. Any stormwater
discharge shall be subject to one or more requirements of this subchapter when
the effluent standard in question is achievable by stormwater treatment
processes using commercially available technology and is not achievable using
other practicable BMPs, and the fact sheet or statement of basis for the draft
permit provides the basis for the inclusion of such requirement(s).
2. Regarding discharges from
combined sewer overflows:
i. Any discharge
from a combined sewer overflow authorized by a general permit is exempt from
the requirements of this subchapter unless such general permit provides
otherwise:
ii. Any discharge from a
combined sewer overflow shall be subject to one or more requirements of this
subchapter when the fact sheet for the draft permit for such discharge provides
the basis for the inclusion of such requirement(s).
3. Any discharge other than those identified
at (b)1 above shall be exempt from one or more of the requirements in this
subchapter as specified in the applicable section.
4. Any discharge of a parameter to which this
subchapter applies that is also regulated by another regulatory agency shall
meet the more stringent standards of such agency or of this
subchapter.
