N.J. Admin. Code § 7:15-5.20 - Specifications for text and graphics
(a) Wastewater
management plans should be concise, using the minimum feasible narrative and
mapping. All pages, tables, and figures in wastewater management plans shall be
legible and numbered. The text of wastewater management plans, wastewater
management plan updates, WQM plan amendments and revisions shall be submitted
in hard copy and in an electronic format that is compatible with the
Department's software capabilities. Information regarding the Department's
software capabilities may be obtained by contacting the Department at New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Watershed
Management, P.O. Box 418, Trenton, New Jersey 08625, (609) 984-6888. The
applicant shall submit a minimum of five hard copies to the Department and, if
the Department determines that more are needed based on the particulars of the
proposal, the Department will notify the applicant.
(b) All maps in wastewater management plans,
wastewater management plan updates, and WQM plan amendments and revisions shall
be prepared and submitted in hard copy in a format which is consistent with the
Department's mapping standards at N.J.A.C. 7:1D Appendix A and shall be in New
Jersey State Plane Feet using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83), use
1:24,000 scale United States Geological Survey quadrangle maps as a base and
shall meet "United States National Map Accuracy Standards," incorporated herein
by reference as amended or updated, for that scale. The United States National
Map Accuracy Standards were issued by the U.S. Bureau of the Budget, Revised
June 1, 1947, and can be obtained at
http://rockyweb.cr.usgs.gov/nmpstds/nmas.html.
Other maps at other scales may be provided as supplements. Mapping information
for wastewater management plans shall also be submitted in digital form
compatible with mapping standards at N.J.A.C. 7:1D Appendix A. The digital maps
shall be accurate, at a minimum, to a scale of 1:12,000. The Department
recommends that the creation of new digital mapping information for wastewater
management plans be prepared in a format that conforms to the "New Jersey
Department of Environmental Protection Geographic Information System Mapping
and Digital Data Standards" guidance document, as amended or updated. Guidance
related to the mapping and digital data standards is available at the
Department's website at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/gis.
Each wastewater management plan shall include the following main maps in hard
copy and in digital form, except digital maps in (b)3 below already generated
by the Department in GIS do not have to submitted to the Department:
1. A map depicting the existing boundaries of
the wastewater management plan area and the existing treatment works and
wastewater service areas identified under
7:15-5.16(a)3
through 8;
2. A map depicting
future DTW and wastewater service areas identified at the end of the 20-year
period for urbanized municipalities, or at build-out for all other
municipalities, under
7:15-5.18(c)1
through 5. Wherever feasible, the boundaries of future wastewater service areas
shall coincide with recognizable geographic, political or
environmental features depicted in Department GIS coverages used for the
wastewater management plan. The existing boundaries of the wastewater
management plan area shall also be depicted on any map under this paragraph;
and
3. One or more maps depicting
the existing boundaries of the wastewater management plan area, and the
features identified under
7:15-5.17. This map shall also
state that development in areas mapped as wetlands, flood prone areas, suitable
habitat for endangered and threatened species as identified on the Department's
Landscape Maps of Habitat for Endangered, Threatened and Other Priority
Wildlife as Rank 3, 4 and 5, Natural Heritage Priority Sites, riparian zones,
steep slopes, or designated river areas may be subject to special regulation
under Federal or State statutes or rules, and that interested persons should
check with the Department for the latest information. Depiction of
environmental features shall be for general information purposes only, and
shall not be construed to define the legal geographic jurisdiction of such
statutes or rules.
(c)
Any other mapping required by
7:15-5.16 through 5.18, 5.24 and
5.25 may be included on one or more of the main maps listed in (b) above if the
information is legible, or on other 1:24,000 scale maps.
