.
				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

1. A map depicting the existing boundaries of
				the wastewater management plan area and the existing treatment works and
				wastewater service areas identified under

				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

				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

				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
