Treatment Works Approvals

sewer_trenchThe Treatment Works Approval (TWA) program regulates the construction and operation of industrial and domestic wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment facilities, including treatment plants, pumping stations, interceptors, sewer mains and other collection, holding and conveyance systems. TWA permits are issued after a facility has obtained a NJPDES permit and ensures that that the construction and operation of the treatment works complies with the effluent standards specified in the NJPDES permit. The Treatment Works Approval process also involves assessing the design of new sewer lines and other wastewater conveyance facilities (force mains, pumping stations, etc.) as well as evaluating downstream conveyance and treatment capacity.

The administrative and technical requirements of the TWA program are stipulated in N.J.A.C. 7:14A-22 and 23, respectively.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Expedited TWA program is no longer offered.

The submission of an administratively complete application is essential for the timely processing of all TWA applications. Links to the application forms and checklists, as well as common TWA application deficiencies, are provided below. Complete applications, with original signatures and P.E. seals (raised), must be mailed to:
