N.J. Admin. Code § 7:9A-7.3 - Type of wastes
(a) The system(s)
shall be designed to receive all sanitary sewage from the building served
except in the following cases:
1. Separate
systems may be designed to receive only greywater, or only blackwater, as
allowed in 7:9A-7.5.
2. Laundry wastes may be discharged into a
seepage pit when approved by the administrative authority as a means of
reducing hydraulic loading on an existing disposal field which has been
malfunctioning.
(b)
Drainage from basement floors, footings or roofs shall not enter the individual
subsurface sewage disposal system and shall be diverted away from the area of
the disposal field.
(c) Discharge
of industrial wastes onto the land, into the soil, or into the ground water is
prohibited. The administrative authority shall not approve any system serving
any establishment engaged in activities such as photo-processing, dry-cleaning,
printing, furniture stripping and refinishing, manufacturing, automobile
painting, or any other process or activity which may result in discharge of
industrial wastes into the system, without prior approval from the Department.
Where doubt exists as to whether or not a waste generated by a particular
facility may be considered as an industrial waste, the administrative authority
shall instruct the applicant to contact the Department for a determination of
whether or not a NJPDES permit will be required.
(d) The administrative authority shall report
to the Department any discharge of industrial wastes into an individual
subsurface sewage disposal system. Use of sewage system cleaners which contain
restricted chemical materials shall be considered to be a discharge of
industrial wastes and is prohibited.
(e) Discharges from commercial activities
where wastewater is anticipated to contain significant quantities of blood,
hide, flesh, bones, paunch materials, viscera, offal and/or non-biodegradable
solids of animal origin shall not be discharged to an onsite system unless
specifically authorized under a NJPDES permit. Examples of such activities
include, but are not limited to, slaughtering, rendering, food processing,
processing deceased human bodies for burial or other disposition and surgical
procedures.
