Proper Use and Management of Septic Systems is Essential
The New Jersey Pinelands Commission has contracted with Stone Environmental Inc. to assist local entities throughout the Pinelands Area, (towns, counties, etc.) in the development and implementation of long term programs for the management of septic systems. Septic systems, also known as onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) are common throughout the Pinelands Area. The goal of septic system management is to keep septic systems functioning properly, to enhance the value of properties served by septic systems and to protect well water and swimming water from harmful impacts that result when septic systems fail. The consultant is developing detailed septic system management recommendations for implementation throughout the Pinelands Area.
The Commission recognizes that the management of septic systems must be compatible with local needs and capabilities and that local participation in the development and implementation of management programs is essential. A key component of this project includes a number of public outreach meetings are planned. This web page will contain the documents developed as part of the project and a schedule of meetings and presentations. Please check this site regularly for updates.
