N.J. Admin. Code § 7:14A-6.16 - Pretreatment requirements for local agencies

(a) Pretreatment program requirements for local agencies included, where applicable, in a NJPDES permit shall meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 403 and N.J.A.C. 7:14A-19. In addition, a permit for a delegated local agency shall include effluent limits for all pollutants listed under the USEPA Categorical Pretreatment Standards, adopted pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 1317, and such other pollutants for which effluent limits have been established for a permittee discharging into the municipal treatment works of the delegated local agency, except those categorical or other pollutants that the delegated local agency demonstrates to the Department are not discharged above detectable levels by the local agency. The NJPDES permit may authorize the use by a delegated local agency of surrogate parameters in accordance to 7:14A-13.10, for categorical and other pollutants discharged from the local agency, except that if a surrogate parameter is exceeded, the permit shall include effluent limits for each categorical or other pollutant for which the surrogate parameter was used, for such period of time as may be specified in the permit.

(b) Sewage sludge use or disposal practices shall be required as a condition of the permit to a local agency, to monitor and report results with a frequency dependent on the nature and effect of the sewage sludge use or disposal practice. This frequency of monitoring and reporting shall be specified in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-20, but in no case shall be less than once per year.
