The NJ Department of Environmental Protection’s Water Quality Management Planning Rule was readopted with amendments on July 7, 2008.

The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, along with the Department of Planning is the designated wastewater management planning agency for the County and the portion of Monmouth County located within the Metedeconk River drainage Basin.

Planning staff works alongside our municipalities, the Ocean County Utilities Authority and the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to delineate sewer service area boundaries in the County. This latest update to the Ocean County Wastewater Management Plan began in November of 2008 and is ongoing.

Approved Map: Pine Beach
  • NJ Register notice for the Stafford WMP which has been adopted by the State separate of the County Plan.
 
Public Facility Hook Up in a Coastal Zone:
  • "New Jersey's Coastal Zone Management Program generally prohibits new development on beaches, dunes and in coastal high hazard areas; therefore, these areas are excluded from the sewer service area. Existing lawful development that is already connected to the wastewater treatment works remains consistent with this wastewater management plan. New development necessary to support the Department's public access policies for which there is no alternative location as demonstrated by a CAFRA permit issued by the NJDEP under N.J.S.A. 13:19-1 et seq. are also consistent with this wastewater management plan."
Request for Sewer Service Area Determination:
  • The new NJDEP sewer service area boundaries do not affect Pinelands designated Regional Growth Areas, Towns, or Villages. If you need additional information regarding development or sewer infrastructure in the Pinelands, please contact the Pinelands Commission.
  • The NJDEP asks that members of the public who wish to submit sewer service area (SSA) requests or comments do so within 30 days of the date of the public workshop at which the specific town was presented. Forms for requests are located below, please be sure to copy the Ocean County Dept of Planning on all correspondence.
