| Private Potable Well |

Regular water testing is important for private well owners
to ensure that their water supply is safe to drink. Private well
owners are responsible for monitoring the quality of their well
water and for maintaining their well.
The Private Well Testing
Act (PWTA) is a law that requires sellers or buyers of properties
with wells in NJ to test the untreated ground water for contamination,
before a home can be sold.

How to Detect Sites Within a ½ Mile Radius |
|
NJ-GeoWeb
is an environmental mapping tool designed to provide information
about your neighborhood, county, or state. With this unique application,
homeowners can find out what’s in their backyard; and environmental
organizations, planners, and builders can identify open space,
various regulatory boundaries, sensitive lands, watersheds, and
more.
To find contaminated sites within a half-mile radius of your
home, please follow the instructions using NJ-GeoWeb. Do you need
to speak to someone for more information? For every site of interest,
note the 'Preferred ID' and use Data
Miner to identify the Licensed Site Remediation Professional
or DEP case manager. For most cases, the Licensed Site Remediation
Professional will have the most up-to-date information about the
status of the remediation.

| Data Miner |
|
Data Miner
is designed to provide up to the minute environmental listings
of NJDEP activities in individual communities. This includes a
list of all site remediation activities in a particular area and
any spills or other findings of contamination reported to the
DEP’s hotline within a specified date range.

have identified the site of interest, please use the instructions
on how to find site details.
Using Data Miner,
you will be able to identify the Licensed Site Remediation Professional
or the assigned DEP case manager. For most cases, the Licensed
Site Remediation Professional will have the most up-to-date information
about the status of the remediation.
