Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) This section
				sets forth additional requirements applicable to "stormwater discharge
				associated with small construction activity" as defined at
				N.J.A.C.
				7:14A-1.2, and to stormwater discharge
				associated with construction activity described under subparagraph 1x of the
				7:14A-1.2 definition of "stormwater
				discharge associated with industrial activity." The Department may issue
				general and/or individual NJPDES permits for such discharges. The NJPDES permit
				program for such discharges shall be designed to reduce pollutants in such
				discharges. The program components include:
1.
				NJPDES permit conditions requiring that operating entities for construction
				sites implement appropriate erosion and sediment control BMPs. NJPDES permits
				shall require compliance with the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act,
				4:24-39 et seq., and implementing
				rules;
2. NJPDES permit conditions
				requiring that operating entities for construction sites control waste such as
				discarded building materials, concrete truck washout, chemicals, litter,
				sanitary waste, and other solid or hazardous waste at the construction site
				that may cause adverse impacts to water quality;
3. For construction activities described
				under subparagraph 1x of the
				7:14A-1.2 definition of "stormwater
				discharge associated with industrial activity," NJPDES permit conditions
				imposing any additional requirements necessary to achieve the applicable
				technology-based standards of "best available technology" and "best
				conventional technology" based on the Department's best professional judgment,
				effluent limitations and standards promulgated under Section 301 of the Federal
				Act (
				33 U.S.C. §
											1311 ), or new source performance standards
				promulgated under Section 306 of the Federal Act (
				33 U.S.C. §
											1316 );
4. NJPDES permit conditions requiring that
				operating entities for construction sites develop, submit for review, and
				implement a stormwater pollution prevention plan for construction activity.
				(This stormwater pollution prevention plan shall include site descriptions,
				descriptions of appropriate control measures, copies of approved State or local
				requirements, maintenance procedures, inspection procedures, and identification
				of non-stormwater discharges.);
5.
				The review of stormwater pollution prevention plans, including the
				consideration of potential water quality impacts of construction
				activity;
6. The implementation of
				applicable provisions of
				7:50-4.81 through 4.85 (coordinated
				permitting in the Pinelands Area);
7. The receipt and consideration of
				information submitted by the public; and
8. Site inspection and enforcement of control
				measures.
