This form includes eight sections, A through H, and Addenda A and B. Section F applies to irrigation water users (other than Agricultural/Horticultural water users certified by the County Agricultural Agent under N.J.A.C. 7:20A-1 et seq.). Section G applies to Public Water Suppliers. Addenda A and B apply to each individual diversion source for all applicants. All

applicable sections must be completed or the application will be returned.

Applications must reference valid State Well Permit Numbers and wells must be permitted for their intended use. A well search can be scheduled by the applicant or performed by the Department for a fee. Applications without valid State Well Permit

Numbers for existing wells will be returned.

All information required by the regulations under N.J.A.C. 7:19-2.2 must be addressed in this application.

A.Site Location Information

1.Actual Diversion Location - Provide the Name of the Facility of which the application is for, the physical street address or nearest cross streets of the diversion location. Attach additional sheets if more than one physical location applies.

2.Property/Land Owners – Provide the legal name for the owner of the property/land on which the diversion is located.

3.Applicant/Operating Entity(ies) – Provide the name, as it is legally referred to, of the operating entity of the subject facility. The operating entity is the firm, public agency, individual, or other entity which has the primary management and decision making authority over any part of the facility/site.

The Application Contact is the individual responsible for all aspects/inquiries regarding the application. Check the Agent box if an Agent has been designated in Section B3 of the Application. The Report Form Recipient/Permit Contact is the designated individual responsible for completing Quarterly Monitoring Report Forms. All Monitoring Report Forms will be mailed to the Report Form Recipient/Permit Contact designated at the Operating Entities address.

4.Responsible Entity/Organization – The person, company, or corporation financially responsible for the activity relating to the diversion and has overall legal responsibility of the activities occurring at the site. The organization liable or accountable for overall facility operations. The responsible entity may be the same as the Applicant/Operating Entity noted in Section A3.

5.Billing Contact – Check the box of the appropriate address (either the Responsible Entity/Organization or the Applicant/Operating Entity) and indicate the individual contact for all billing inquiries.

6.Other Permits – Provide information for all other permits applied to in relation to the project and diversion activities, as indicated.

B.Certifications – Provide Certifications as indicated in Section B.

C.Required Submittals/Application Attachments

1.All diversion sources must be metered prior to treatment. Submit evidence to demonstrate that the flow meter for each source has been calibrated within the past five years. Also include the type of meter for each source. Evidence of meter calibration is not required for new sources (meters must be installed on all approved new sources, however). If the diversion is not metered at each source prior to treatment, please indicate why.

2.A completed Water Conservation and Drought Management Plan. Separate instructions and worksheets for completing the plan should be obtained by contacting the Bureau of Water Allocation & Well Permitting. A Conservation Plan is not required if the application is for ground water remediation, sand and gravel mining, or where diverted water is returned in undiminished quantity to its source.

3.Supporting information that shows how the future demands were determined in Section E.1. of the application.

For Sections D through G, please provide all information as requested in the section.
