Description:
Abstract:
The NJPDES layer shows approximate locations of permitted facilities regulated by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Nonpoint Pollution Control (BNPC). Permits vary based on discharge type and activity governed by N.J.A.C. 7:14A. This layer includes seven different discharge types, which the Department regulates. It includes facilities regulated for having a discharge of sanitary sewage to the ground with a design volume in excess of 2,000 gallons per day (GPD), but which were constructed prior to January 1, 1990 and approved by local Health Departments. It includes concrete product manufactures that have stormwater discharges to surface waters. These facilities manufacture concrete products, concrete block and brick, and ready mixed concrete or are facilities classified as concrete manufacturers by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). It includes permitted facilities for having sanitary wastewater and industrial wastewater discharges though various methods such as lagoons, spray irrigation, or overland flow. It includes industrial wastewater facilities, such as cooling water, process wastewater, and boiler blowdown and facilities with subsurface disposal system(s) that discharges greater than 2,000 GPD to septic systems, subsurface trench systems, dry wells, or seepage pits. It includes facilities that engage in the activity of manufacturing hot mix asphalt and that discharge stormwater to either the surface or ground water sources. It includes facilities that cannot eliminate exposure of pollutants to stormwater and it includes facilities involved in the recycling of materials including metal scrap yards, battery reclaimers, salvage yards, and automobile junkyards. NJPDES permits are issued by the NJDEP and are authorized according to a specific set of rules governing discharges within the state of New Jersey.
Purpose:
The purpose of this NJPDES layer is to identify facilities with regulated discharges in New Jersey and to manage discharge information in a way so that the NJDEP can update, merge, analyze and communicate effectively. In addition this layer is a resource to plan GPS missioning, toward assembling a complete coverage of discharge locations, in place of approximate facility locations contained in this file.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attributes represent active permits that have been plotted, at the time of this publication date. For a complete list of active permits, including facilities not plotted, visit <http://www.nj.gov/dep/opra/online.html>.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
No topographic rules were created by BNPC for this dataset. Point accuracy was verified by visually comparing the plotted points with reference materials submitted with the NJPDES application.
Completeness_Report:
Point accuracy is based on a combination of digitizing points on topographic maps, digitizing points on aerial photos, address matching and plotting coordinates stored in New Jersey Environmental Management System (NJEMS) database.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Points were plotted in NJSP within NAD 83 datum. Horizontal accuracy varies based on plotting errors such as those involved with digitizing points on screen and capturing GPS locations.

Process_Description:
Data points have been derived by a combination of digitizing digital topographic maps, digitizing digital aerial photos, address matching and plotting coordinates stored in NJEMS (New Jersey Environmental Management System) database. Facility locations were also determined by referencing the NJPDES Ground Water Discharges in New Jersey, (1:12,000). Metadata is a process step maintained upon completion.

Ordering_Instructions:
All available NJDEP public GIS data can be downloaded for free. Some data shown in NJGeoWeb application may not yet be available for download due to various data or distribution issues. Please email gisnet@dep.state.nj.us with any data distribution questions.
Custom_Order_Process:
The NJDEP may distribute GIS data in a variety of formats, such as the ESRI shapefile and/or various versions of the file geodatabase format. The data also may be available for viewing on various profiles of the NJ GeoWeb online mapping application.

Note: Some older NJDEP data may not contain .prj files due to distribution procedures at that time. If download does not contain a .prj, please download from:

<http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/njsp83.zip>

Please rename .prj to the name of the downloadable filename. (for example: If Head of Tides filename is HOT.shp, please rename .prj to HOT.prj). This allows ESRI software to recognize the projection information.
