Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) A NJPDES permit
				is required for the stormwater discharges to surface water or groundwater
				identified in (a)1 through 4 below. The operating entities for those discharges
				shall apply for a NJPDES permit in accordance with
				7:14A-25.4(a)  and
				25.5(a).
1. Tier A municipalities: All
				stormwater discharges from small MS4s that are owned or operated by and located
				in a municipality that is assigned to Tier A under
				7:14A-25.3(a)1;
2. Public complexes: All stormwater
				discharges from small MS4s that are owned or operated by a county, State,
				interstate, or Federal agency at a "public complex" located entirely or
				partially in a municipality that is assigned to Tier A under
				7:14A-25.3(a)1, or
				in a municipality that receives a waiver under (d) below. For purposes of this
				subsection, a "public complex" is a single lot (or two or more lots that are
				contiguous or on a college or university campus) which contains at least two
				buildings owned or operated by the same governmental entity, and:
i. Is at a campus of a college or university
				which Statewide has a combined total of at least 1,000 employees (usually
				present at least six hours per day on weekdays) or full-time students;
				or
ii. Is at any other public
				facility (for example, a military base, hospital, prison, or general
				administration facility), and has a combined total of at least 1,000 employees,
				military personnel, or residents (including patients or prisoners) usually
				present at least six hours per day on weekdays.
3. Highways or other thoroughfares: All
				stormwater discharges from small MS4s that are owned or operated by a county,
				State, interstate, or Federal agency at a highway or other thoroughfare
				(including a maintenance or service facility or rest area for such a
				thoroughfare). For purposes of this subsection, a "highway or other
				thoroughfare" does not include:
i. Any
				thoroughfare confined to the grounds of a single building, or of two or more
				buildings that are not a "public complex" as described under (a)2 above (unless
				that building(s) is a maintenance or service facility for a highway or other
				thoroughfare not confined to such grounds);
ii. Any thoroughfare confined to the grounds
				of a "public complex" (each such thoroughfare is instead considered part of the
				"public complex"); or
iii. Any
				thoroughfare (other than the Palisades Interstate Parkway) confined to an
				officially designated park, forest, recreational area, natural area, wildlife
				management area, or area set aside for water supply protection.
4. Special designations: All of
				the following stormwater discharges from municipal separate storm sewers (which
				for purposes of this paragraph does not include "large" or "medium" municipal
				separate storm sewer systems, or separate storm sewers in very discrete areas,
				such as individual buildings):
i. All
				stormwater discharges from municipal separate storm sewers that the Department
				designates as "small MS4s that contribute substantially to the pollutant
				loadings of a physically interconnected municipal separate storm sewer that
				requires a NJPDES permit" under this subsection, or under
				7:14A-24.2(a)5, 7
				or 9;
ii. All stormwater discharges
				that are from municipal separate storm sewers, and that are designated under
				7:14A-24.2(a)7  or
				9;
iii. All stormwater discharges
				that are from municipal separate storm sewers, and that are determined to
				require a NJPDES permit in response to a petition under
				7:14A-24.3;
iv. All stormwater discharges whose operating
				entity is granted a waiver under (d) below, but that are subsequently
				determined to require a NJPDES permit under (e) below; and
v. All stormwater discharges from municipal
				separate storm sewers designated by USEPA under
				40
				C.F.R. 123.35(b).
