Section 7:14A-24.10 - Additional requirements for stormwater discharges associated with construction activity

(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.
