Section 7:14C-1.5 - Reporting categories
(a) For the purposes of determining the frequency of sampling and analysis for submission of all required sludge reports and for determining proper sampling procedures, domestic treatment works shall be divided into categories on the basis of permitted flow as follows:
1. Category 1: Domestic treatment works with a permitted flow less than 0.1 MGD.
2. Category 2: Domestic treatment works with a permitted flow of 0.1 to 0.999 MGD.
3. Category 3: Domestic treatment works with a permitted flow from 1.0 to 4.999 MGD.
4. Category 4: Domestic treatment works with a permitted flow equal to or greater than 5.0 MGD.
5. If both an annual average flow and a monthly average flow are set in the NJPDES permit, the SQAR category under (a)1 through 4 above shall be determined by the annual average flow. If the permit sets staged flows, the SQAR category shall be determined according to each currently approved staged flow in the permit.
(b) For the purposes of determining the frequency of sampling and analysis for submission of all required sludge reports and for determining proper sampling procedures, industrial treatment works shall be divided into categories on the basis of annual sludge production, as follows:
1. Category 6: Any industrial wastewater treatment system with a sludge production greater than zero, but less than 290 dry metric tons per 365 day period.
2. Category 7: Any industrial wastewater treatment system with a sludge production equal to or greater than 290, but less than 1,500 dry metric tons per 365 day period.
3. Category 8: Any industrial wastewater treatment system with a sludge production equal to or greater than 1,500, but less than 15,000 dry metric tons per 365 day period.
4. Category 9: Any industrial wastewater treatment system with a sludge production equal to or greater than 15,000 dry metric tons per 365 day period.
5. Category 10: Any public water treatment system with a sludge production greater than zero, but less than 290 dry metric tons per 365 day period.
6. Category 11: Any public water treatment system with a sludge production equal to or greater than 290, but less than 1,500 dry metric tons per 365 day period.
7. Category 12: Any public water treatment system with a sludge production equal to or greater than 1,500, but less than 15,000 dry metric tons per 365 day period.
8. Category 13: Any public water treatment system with a sludge production equal to or greater than 15,000 dry metric tons per 365 day period.
