In the May 17, 1999 New Jersey Register, the Department readopted with certain amendments and new rules the Sludge Quality Assurance Regulations (SQAR) at N.J.A.C. 7:14C. All domestic and industrial treatment works need to become familiar with the changes to SQAR. The readopted rules change the parameters required to be reported for all domestic and industrial treatment works. In addition, the reporting frequency for industrial treatment works has also changed. All domestic treatment works will shortly be receiving new reporting forms in the mail. Industrial treatment works should continue to use existing reporting forms until new forms are provided. Anyone requiring more information or a copy of the rules should contact the Bureau of Pretreatment and Residuals at (609) 633-3823. The regulations are also available by accessing the Division's web site at www.state.nj.us/dep/dwq.
