N.J. Admin. Code § 7:14A-21.9 - Exemptions from the requirements for an individual NJPDES-SIU permit from the Department
(a) An indirect
user authorized to discharge by the local agency is exempt from the requirement
to obtain an individual NJPDES-SIU permit from the Department if:
1. The indirect user does not meet the SIU
definition;
2. The indirect user
discharges to a delegated local agency's treatment works; or
3. The indirect user meets the
non-significant categorical indirect user criteria set forth in (g)
below.
(b) The
Department may, at its discretion, revoke a NJPDES-SIU permit if the permittee
meets the exemption criteria of (a) above.
(c) A permittee may request revocation of an
individual NJPDES-SIU permit by submitting to the Department a certification by
an authorized representative of the permittee stating the date and describing
in detail when and why the permittee became eligible for an exemption pursuant
to (a) above.
(d) The Department
shall revoke the NJPDES-SIU permit if the permittee establishes pursuant to (c)
above that the permittee qualifies for an exemption under (a) above.
(e) The terms and conditions of the
individual NJPDES-SIU permit, including, but not limited to, the requirement to
file a timely application for permit renewal, remain in full force and effect
unless and until such permit is revoked consistent with the procedures in
N.J.A.C. 7:14A-16.
(f) If an
individual NJPDES-SIU permit is revoked pursuant to this section, the user may
continue to discharge and shall comply with any pretreatment requirements of
the local agency and this subchapter.
(g) An indirect user subject to categorical
pretreatment standards under
40 CFR
403.6 and 40 CFR chapter I, subchapter N, may
be determined by the control authority to be an NSCIU rather than a significant
indirect user if the user meets the following criteria:
1. The indirect user never discharges more
than 100 GPD of total categorical wastewater (excluding sanitary, non-contact
cooling and boiler blowdown wastewater, unless specifically included in the
pretreatment standard);
2. The
