The Bureaus of Point Source Permitting 1 and 2 regulate facilities discharging
domestic and industrial wastewater directly into surface waters of the state
as part of the NJPDES program. Permittees include various industries, federal,
state, county, and municipal facilities, private companies, private residential
developments, hospitals, and schools. Collectively, the facilities regulated
by these bureaus serve the wastewater treatment needs of seven million people
and hundreds of industries, treating over 15 billion gallons per day of
wastewater.
The bureaus also conduct water quality, biological, and toxicological
analyses and thermal impact and cooling water assessments.
The regional structure of the two bureaus was established to facilitate
watershed permitting. The regional boundaries are based on the state's 20
watershed management areas and 5 water regions. Region 1 includes the Upper
Delaware and Passaic regions and the northern portion of the Atlantic Coastal
region. Region 2 includes the Raritan and Lower Delaware regions and the
southern portion of the Atlantic Coastal region. (Please see the regional watershed map for more information.)
