This layer contains points features representing the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NJPDES) Discharge to Surface Water (DSW) Permittees that participated in the Division of Water Quality’s (DWQ) PFAS Source Evaluation and Reduction Requirements Survey. On March 17, 2021, the DWQ sent a Request for Information letter to Category B Permittees (Industrial Wastewater) and Category L Permittees (Significant Indirect Users). These permittees are industrial users that discharge directly or indirectly to a surface water body. The survey was used to collect and evaluate site-specific information such as on-site use of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), use of process materials or aids that may contain PFAS, and industrial operations and processes. The Division is utilizing this information to aid in the development of a strategy to identify and eliminate or reduce sources of PFAS. |
