New Jersey § 32:18-8

§ 32:18-8.

ARTICLE VII 1. It is agreed between the signatory states that no sewage or other polluting matters

shall be discharged or permitted to flow into, or be placed in, or permitted to fall

or move into the tidal waters of the district, except under the following conditions

and restrictions: (1) All sewage discharged or permitted to flow into class “A” waters of the district

shall first have been so treated as-- a. to remove all floating solids and at least sixty per cent (60%) of the suspended

solids; and b. to effect a reduction of organisms of the B. Coli group (intestinal bacilli) so

that the probable number of such organisms shall not exceed one per cubic centimeter

in more than fifty per cent (50%) of the samples of sewage effluent tested by the

partially confirmed test; provided, however, that in the case of discharge into waters

used primarily for bathing this bacterial standard need not be required except during

the bathing season; and c. to effect a reduction in the oxygen demand of the sewage effluent sufficient to

maintain an average dissolved oxygen content in the tidal waters of the district and

in the general vicinity of the point of discharge of the sewage into those waters,

at a depth of about five feet below the surface, of not less than fifty per cent (50%)

saturation during any week of the year. (2) All sewage discharged or permitted to flow into class “B” waters of the district

shall first have been so treated as-- a. to remove all floating solids and at least ten per cent (10%) of the suspended

solids, or such additional percentage as may by reason of local conditions be necessary

to avoid the formation of sludge deposits in the class “B” waters of the district;

and b. to effect a reduction in the oxygen demand of the sewage effluent sufficient to

maintain an average dissolved oxygen content in the tidal waters of the district and

in the general vicinity of the point of discharge of the sewage into those waters,

at a depth of about five feet below the surface, of not less than thirty per cent

(30%) saturation during any week of the year.
