Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) This section sets forth additional requirements applicable to "stormwater discharge associated with small construction activity" as defined at N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2, and to stormwater discharge associated with construction activity described under subparagraph 1x of the N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2 definition of "stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity." The Department may issue general and/or individual NJPDES permits for such discharges. The NJPDES permit program for such discharges shall be designed to reduce pollutants in such discharges. The program components include:
1. NJPDES permit
conditions requiring that operating entities for construction sites implement
appropriate erosion and sediment control BMPs. NJPDES permits shall require
compliance with the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act,
N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq., and implementing
rules;
2. NJPDES permit conditions
requiring that operating entities for construction sites control waste such as
discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter,
sanitary waste, and other solid or hazardous waste at the construction site
that may cause adverse impacts to water quality;
3. For construction activities described
under subparagraph 1x of the
N.J.A.C.
7:14A-1.2 definition of "stormwater discharge
associated with industrial activity," NJPDES permit conditions imposing any
additional requirements necessary to achieve the applicable technology-based
standards of "best available technology" and "best conventional technology"
based on the Department's best professional judgment, effluent limitations and
standards promulgated under Section 301 of the Federal Act (33 U.S.C.
§
1311), or new source performance
standards promulgated under Section 306 of the Federal Act (33 U.S.C. §
1316);
4. NJPDES permit conditions requiring that
operating entities for construction sites develop, submit for review, and
implement a stormwater pollution prevention plan for construction activity.
(This stormwater pollution prevention plan shall include site descriptions,
descriptions of appropriate control measures, copies of approved State or local
requirements, maintenance procedures, inspection procedures, and identification
of non-stormwater discharges.);
5.
The review of stormwater pollution prevention plans, including the
consideration of potential water quality impacts of construction
activity;
6. The implementation of
applicable provisions of
N.J.A.C.
7:50-4.81 through 4.85 (coordinated
permitting in the Pinelands Area);
7. The receipt and consideration of
information submitted by the public; and
8. Site inspection and enforcement of control
measures.
