N.J. Admin. Code § 7:14A-2.7 - Permit duration and renewal

(a) All NJPDES permits shall be issued for fixed terms not to exceed five years. The Department shall issue any permit for a duration that is less than the full allowable term under this section when:

1. A shorter permit duration will facilitate issuance of a discharge permit in accordance with a watershed management plan;

2. The permittee requests a shorter permit duration; or

3. The discharge is anticipated to cease in less than five years.

(b) Any permittee who wishes to continue the regulated activity after the expiration date of the permit shall file a timely and complete application or request for renewal as provided in 7:14A-4.2(e)3.

(c) A NJPDES permit may be modified, revoked and reissued, renewed, suspended, or revoked in accordance with 7:14A-16.3. The filing of a request for a permit modification, revocation and reissuance, renewal, suspension, or revocation, or a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance, in and of itself, shall not stay any permit condition. A permit condition may be administratively stayed by the Department in accordance with 7:14A-17.6.

(d) A NJPDES permit shall be administratively expired if the regulated activity is not continued beyond the expiration date, or for continuing discharges where the conditions of 7:14A-2.8(a) have not been met. A permittee may request that a permit be revoked prior to the scheduled expiration date of the permit. A formal notification shall be made to the permittee if a permit has been administratively expired, suspended, or revoked.
