Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Any operating
				entity for a stormwater DSW or DGW identified under (a)1 through 8 below that
				does not have an effective NJPDES permit authorizing its stormwater discharges
				shall submit a request for authorization for a general NJPDES permit, or an
				application for an individual NJPDES permit, in accordance with the following
				deadlines:
1. Except as provided in (a)1i
				through vii below, for any "stormwater discharge associated with industrial
				activity" as defined in
				7:14A-1.2 that is not authorized by
				a stormwater general permit, the request for authorization for a stormwater DSW
				general permit, or an application for an individual stormwater DSW permit made
				pursuant to
				7:14A-24.7, shall have been
				submitted by April 1, 1993.
i. For any
				stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity from a facility (other
				than an airport, powerplant, or uncontrolled sanitary landfill) that is owned
				or operated by a municipality with a population of less than 100,000, the
				request for authorization or individual permit application shall be submitted
				by March 3, 2004.
ii. Facilities
				that are owned or operated by a municipality and that were rejected by the
				USEPA as members of part 1 group application under
				40
				C.F.R. 122.26(e)(2) shall
				have submitted the request for authorization or individual permit application
				no later than 180 days after the date of receipt of the notice of rejection or
				April 1, 1993, whichever was later.
iii. If the discharge is from a nonpoint
				source and is not identified under (a)1iv below, the request for authorization
				or individual permit application shall have been submitted by November 3, 1997.
				No NJPDES permit shall have required pollutants in such a discharge to be
				controlled before November 3, 1997.
iv. If the Department classifies the
				discharge as a "stormwater discharge associated with industrial activity" under
				paragraph 2 in the definition of that term in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-1.2, the request
				for authorization or individual permit application shall be submitted within
				180 days of receipt of written notice of such classification, unless the
				Department approves a later date.
v. A group application submitted to USEPA
				under
				40
				C.F.R. 122.26(e)(2) does not
				qualify under this paragraph as a request for authorization under a NJPDES
				general permit, or as an application for an individual NJPDES permit. If a
				facility was approved by the USEPA as a member of a group application pursuant
				to
				40
				C.F.R. 122.26(e)(2), or if a
				facility which was a participant of a group application was not approved or
				rejected by the USEPA pursuant to
				40
				C.F.R. 122.26(e)(2) by April
				1, 1993, the facility shall have either have submitted a written request for
				authorization under an applicable NJPDES general permit, or applied for an
				individual NJPDES permit, by October 1, 1993 (except as provided in (a)1i
				above).
vi. When an individual
				permit application for discharges of stormwater is submitted pursuant to
				7:14A-24.7 for a facility that
				already has an individual DSW permit that does not authorize all of those
				discharges, then that application shall be submitted in the following manner:
(1) If that DSW permit has expired, or is due
				to expire within 180 days of the submission of that application, then that
				application shall be submitted as part of the application for renewal of that
				DSW permit (such submission may supplement a renewal application previously
				submitted to the Department).
(2)
				If that DSW permit has not expired and is not due to expire within 180 days of
				the submission of that application, then that application shall be submitted
				either as part of the application for renewal of that DSW permit, or in a
				request under
				7:14A-16.4 to modify that DSW
				permit to authorize all of those discharges of stormwater.
vii. The following is applicable to entities
				proposing new discharges of stormwater associated with industrial activity.
				General permits for such discharges shall specify deadlines for submitting
				requests for authorization under such permits. An entity submitting an
				individual permit application for such a discharge shall submit an application
				at least 180 days before that entity intends to commence industrial activity
				which may result in a discharge of stormwater associated with that industrial
				activity (unless (a)1vii(1) below is applicable, or the Department approves a
				later date).
(1) An entity submitting an
				individual permit application for a stormwater discharge from construction
				activity as described under subparagraph 1x of the definition of "stormwater
				discharge associated with industrial activity" in
				7:14A-1.2 shall submit an
				application at least 90 days before the date on which construction is to
				commence (unless the Department approves a later date).
