N.J. Admin. Code § 7:14A-12.7 - Phosphorus effluent standard

The effluent standard for phosphorus discharged to a freshwater lake, pond or reservoir, or tributaries to these waterbodies is that, at a minimum, no effluent shall contain more than 1.0 mg/l total phosphorus (as P), as a monthly average, unless the discharger(s) to such a waterbody can demonstrate that a less stringent requirement will not result in a violation of the Surface Water Quality Standards (N.J.A.C. 7:9B) or that the control of point sources alone, in the absence of effective nonpoint source controls, will not result in a significant reduction of phosphorus loadings to the waterbody.
