Full Description

Two key issues will affect the New Jersey Water Allocation permitting program in the next decade. Even as some aquifers are steadily declining, the state is expected to have more than 5000 groundwater pollution sites that require remediation. Resolution of these issues will require legislative revisions and a reconsideration of methods of groundwater pollution remediation. The history of groundwater law in New Jersey is reviewed, and the current water supply allocation program is described. Water supply critical areas--where overdrafting occurs--come under special state management controls that do not apply in other parts of the state. These controls allow the state to order reductions in withdrawals. Remediation of groundwater has involved the use of recovery wells to capture the pollution plume, treat the contaminated water, and discharge the treated water to a surface water. It may be necessary to require reinjection of the treated groundwater. This issue has yet to be addressed.
