Chapter 45 - RULES FOR THE REVIEW ZONE OF THE DELAWARE AND RARITAN CANAL STATE PARK
Subchapter 8 - STORMWATER RUNOFF AND WATER QUALITY IMPACT REVIEW
Section 7:45-8.3 - Specific standards for outfalls
Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 7:45-8.3
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) For projects involving new or existing outfalls in the Review Zone, the following standards shall be required:
1. New outfalls
to the Canal are prohibited;
2. New
sources of stormwater that tie into drainage systems discharging into the Canal
are prohibited;
3. New outfalls
within stream corridors of water courses that discharge to the Canal are
prohibited;
4. New outfall
structures within the Park or within 300 feet of the Canal are prohibited;
and
5. For projects discharging to
existing outfalls in the Canal, the Commission shall consider the following
prioritization of types of remediation measures:
i. Removal of the existing
outfalls;
ii. Where the removal of
existing outfalls is not possible under (a)5i above, stormwater being
discharged through the outfall shall be treated to achieve 95 percent TSS
removal for the water quality design storm, as described at
N.J.A.C.
7:45-8.7; or
iii. Where treatment for stormwater is not
possible under (a)5ii above, stormwater from offsite areas shall be treated to
achieve 95 percent total suspended solids (TSS) removal as follows:
(1) Water quality treatment shall be provided
for a developed area within the Canal's drainage basin that does not receive
water quality treatment. The water quality treatment must achieve one of the
following:
(A) An equivalent reduction in TSS
loadings for twice the volume of stormwater generated by the proposed project
during the water quality design storm; or
(B) An equivalent reduction in TSS loadings
for twice the flow rate generated by the proposed project during the water
quality design storm.
(b) An applicant shall provide clear and convincing documentation to demonstrate that a proposed project requires use of an existing outfall into the Canal, and that the remediation measures in (a)5 above cannot be met. If the applicant so demonstrates, alternative compensatory measures including offsite mitigation for water quality must then be provided, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:45-12.6, Waiver of stormwater runoff and water quality.
