This data identifies those sites where groundwater contamination has been identified and, where appropriate, the NJDEP has established a Classification Exception Area (CEA) in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:9-1.6 and 1.9(b). CEAs are institutional controls in geographically defined areas within which the New Jersey Ground Water Quality Standards (NJGWQS) for specific contaminants have been exceeded. CEAs are established in order to provide notice that the constituent standards for a given aquifer classification are not or will not be met in a localized area due to natural water quality or anthropogenic influences, and that designated aquifer uses are suspended in the affected area for the term of the CEA.
