• April 11, 2008 - Water quality devices to be designed to bypass larger storm events….The NJDEP is currently developing re-suspension test protocol for those manufactured treatment devices (MTDs) that seek approval for use as an online water quality device. An online water quality device allows the passing of storms greater than the NJDEP water quality design storm through the device. Until such protocol is developed and testing has been submitted and deemed acceptable under that protocol, all approved MTDs shall be used offline for all storms that exceed the NJDEP water quality design storm effective April 11, 2008. Projects that have been deemed administratively complete by the Division of Land Use Regulation for a permit requiring stormwater review as of April 11, 2008 may continue to utilize the design as specified in the certification letter. If no permit is required from the Division of Land Use Regulation, projects that have been deemed administratively complete by the municipality as of April 11, 2008 may continue to utilize the design as specified in the certification letter. All other applications subject to the stormwater management rules at N.J.A.C. 7:9 shall utilize these MTDs offline.
