New Jersey § 58:14-35

§ 58:14-35.

The commissioners shall have the power to adopt rules and regulations in conformity

with requirements imposed by the federal government as a condition of federal assistance,

which shall be binding upon all contracting municipalities and lessees delivering

or discharging sewage into the system of the commissioners. Such rules and regulations may include pretreatment requirements, requirements for

the adoption of sewer use ordinances and of user charge and industrial cost recovery

systems in accordance with applicable federal statutes and the implementing regulations

promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and requirements concerning

infiltration-inflow, as well as such other rules and regulations as the commissioners

may deem to be necessary or proper for the operation of the system or to apply for

and receive financial assistance from the federal government or any agency thereof

for the construction, acquisition or rehabilitation of waste treatment works as part

of the system, and to enter any agreement with the federal government for the purpose

of obtaining such financial assistance. Any person who violates any provision of any rule or regulation adopted by the commissioners

pursuant to this section shall be subject to a civil penalty of up to $50,000.00 per

day for each violation, and each day's continuance of the violation shall constitute

a separate violation. Penalties imposed under this section may be recovered with costs in a summary proceeding

pursuant to “the penalty enforcement law” ( N.J.S.2A:58-1 et seq. ). The commissioners may institute a civil action in the Superior Court for injunctive

relief to prevent or restrain any act or activity which adversely affects or threatens

to adversely affect public health or safety or the operation of the system.
