The Statewide Water Quality Management Plan was adopted by the NJDEP in November 1985 as part of a comprehensive effort to protect water quality in the State. The Plan serves as the foundation of the State’s Water Quality Management Planning Program. Wastewater Management Plans (WMPs) are an integral component of area-wide Water Quality Management plans. The Department relies on the WMP components of the areawide WQM plans to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the cumulative effects of existing and future land use on the water resources of the State and to ensure that the WQM plans integrate related Federal, State, regional and local comprehensive, functional and other relevant land use planning activities through a continuing planning process. The intended purpose of the WMPs is to project future development, estimate the wastewater management needs associated with that development, and specify the preferred wastewater treatment alternative for all areas of the State. These plans also provide the vehicle to ensure that sewer service is not extended into environmentally sensitive areas. WQM plans must be updated periodically by WMPs in order to reflect and respond to changes in municipal zoning, State and regional planning activities and regulatory standards, and to ensure that the most up to date information is fully incorporated into decisions concerning wastewater management choices. The DEP shall not undertake, or authorize through the issuance of a permit, any project or activity that affects water quality and conflicts with the applicable sections of adopted WQM Plans or the Statewide WQM Planning rules. In 2016 NJDEP is developing an electronic online service through its Regulatory Services Portal (RSP) enabling applicants to submit new WMPs (by a corporation, government body, or WMP agency), updates to WMP components (by a WQMP agency), or site specific (by a corporation, government body, or WMP agency, or if small a person). The NJ Highlands and NJ Pinelands commissions may make similar submissions for areas within their jurisdictions.
