				than or equal to 0.5 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) in at least 95 percent
				of each month's filter or plant effluent samples. This standard shall apply to
				all types of filtration treatments, including, but not limited to, conventional
				or direct filtration, slow sand filtration, and diatomaceous earth filtration.
				As provided in the National Regulations,
				40
				CFR 141.73, the Department may increase the
				turbidity standard for the filtered water for individual filtration plants to
				1.0 NTU in 95 percent of each month's filter or plant effluent
				samples.
3. Effective January 1,
				2002, for each filtration plant which treats surface water or ground water
				under the direct influence of surface water, the filtered water turbidity level
				shall be less than or equal to 0.3 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) in at

New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 10 - SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT › Subchapter 10 - PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS AND CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL BY CONTAINMENT › Section 7:10-10.1 - Purpose and scope

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) This subchapter
				establishes the permit, design, and testing requirements of a backflow
				prevention device at facilities with physical connections between public
				community water systems and facilities which have sources of water which may be
				contaminated or of questionable or unknown quality over which the supplier of
				water has little or no control for the purpose of protecting the public
				community water system from backflow from such waters. This subchapter also
				establishes a framework for a public community water system to implement a
				cross-connection control program that would require the installation of a
				containment backflow prevention device at facilities with cross-connection
				hazards as outlined in
				7:10-10.9.
(b) The requirements of this subchapter apply
				in conjunction with the requirements of the Plumbing Subcode of the New Jersey
				State Uniform Construction Code,
				5:23-3.15, for the prevention of
				illegal plumbing cross-connections, and with any other state or local
				requirements for the practice or procedure known as "cross-connection control
				by containment" whereby a backflow prevention device may be required to protect
				a public community water system from contamination as a result of plumbing
				cross-connections, or any other cross-connections.
New Jersey Administrative Code › Title 7 - ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › Chapter 10 - SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT › Subchapter 10 - PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS AND CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL BY CONTAINMENT › Section 7:10-10.2 - General provisions and prohibitions

				7:10-10.5 for an approved physical
				connection installation and shall install such installation in accordance with
				the requirements of this subchapter as follows:
1. At each connection between a public
				community water system and any unapproved water supply; and/or
2. Where dual but physically separate water
				lines from a public community water system and from an unapproved water supply
				are located within the same building, including fire service lines.

(a) The approved
				physical connection installation shall be installed on the customer's side of
				the water meter on the pipe(s) conveying the water from the public community
				water system into a facility, shall be installed as close to the meter as is
				reasonably practicable, and shall be prior to any other connection, unless such
				other connection is also protected by means of an approved physical connection
				installation. For a fire service line, the approved physical connection
				installation shall be installed prior to the alarm check and siamese
				connection.
(b) The approved
				physical connection installation shall be installed so as to allow easy access,
				with adequate space for maintenance, inspection, and testing. No part of the
				device shall be submerged or subjected to freezing temperatures unless such
				part is thermally protected.

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) Each physical connection installation
				shall be inspected and tested as follows:
1.
				A test for tightness under prevailing pressure conditions shall be conducted as
				required pursuant to
				7:10-10.5(a)  for
				an application for an initial physical connection permit and at least once
				every three months under an existing physical connection permit pursuant to
				7:10-10.5(b).
2. An internal inspection shall be conducted

				after reassembly, the owner of the facility shall test the backflow prevention
				device for tightness to ensure the integrity of the device. An internal
				inspection shall consist of the dismantling of a double check valve assembly or
				a reduced pressure zone backflow preventer assembly to visually inspect the
				integrity of the internal mechanism including the clappers, discs, and facing
				rings.
3. The Department shall
				approve a reduction in the frequency of the pressure tests conducted pursuant
				to (a)1 above if the owner of the facility in which the physical connection
				installation is located demonstrates to the Department that the facility is not
				in operation during any time in a calendar quarter.
4. A reduced pressure zone backflow preventer

				within 14 days of such change. The application shall specify the permit
				holder's name, permit number, and address, and shall describe the
				administrative change. An administrative change to an existing physical
				connection permit is required for any one or more of the following:
1. A change in permit holder's name and/or
				mailing address;
2. A change in
				ownership of the facility;

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) No person shall
				construct, alter, or replace a public noncommunity water system or nonpublic
				water system except in accordance with the standards set forth in this
				subchapter and N.J.A.C. 7:9D or any regulations adopted pursuant to the State
				Act and with the approval of the administrative authority as required pursuant
				to this subchapter.
(b) When two or
				more adjacent water systems are owned by the same person and, in combination,
				serve 15 or more realty improvements, the water systems shall be constructed in
				accordance with the rules and standards applicable to public community water
				systems at N.J.A.C. 7:10-11.
(c) A
				person seeking to build a realty improvement or seeking to alter or replace an
				existing water system shall determine whether to construct a public
				noncommunity water system or a nonpublic water system based on the following
				considerations:
1. If an adequate public
				community water system is available, if such public community water system's
				water lines are within 200 feet of the property line of the realty improvement
				or the existing water system, if connection can legally be made thereto, and if
				such connection is practical, then the realty improvement or the existing water
				system shall be supplied with water from that source except as provided in
				(c)1i below. Such connection shall be considered practical unless the
				connection to the public community water system involves major construction
				such as the crossing of a highway, stream or body of water, or major utility
				easement; and/or distance from the water line or any other field condition
				renders such connection cost-prohibitive:
i.
				An existing well in an existing water system may be replaced in lieu of such
				connection to a public community water system with the approval of the
				administrative authority.
