CEA Biennial Cert Compliance: Tools for Performing Well Searches for
CEA Biennial Certifications
A Department computer generated well search for all wells within one
mile up-gradient, side-gradient and downgradient of the ground water classification
exception area is required as part of each CEA biennial certification.
This requirement is outlined in the Tech Rules, specifically N.J.A.C.
7:26E-8.6(a)3. However,
the Department is experiencing a delay in the processing of well search
requests made through the Bureau of Water System and Well Permitting.
In an effort to reduce the number of requests, the Department has developed
a web-based tool that identifies well permit applications in a given area.
This Web page provides links and instructions for using the web-based
tool.
Please note that while this tool is an acceptable means of meeting your
requirements outlined in N.J.A.C. 7:26E-8.6(a)3, it is currently not
acceptable when a traditional and more thorough well search
is required (for example to comply with the Preliminary Assessment and
Site Investigation provisions in NJAC 7:26E-3.7 and the Remedial Investigation
provisions in NJAC 7:26E-4.4) These well searches must still follow the
traditional means, and information regarding Department’s well searches
may be found in the Division of Water Supply’s website at http://www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply under "forms" and "well permitting."
Obtaining a Well Permit Search
The Department has provided you with two possible ways to conduct your
own well search:
- (Recommended) You look up and enter the Well Grid Numbers
of interest. This can be done using the New
Jersey DEP I-Map System. Then open the NJDEP Data Miner System's SRP
Insitutional Controls Reports page, select the "Well Search
for CEA Biennial Certification By Atlas Grids" and enter the
Grid Numbers of interest when prompted.
- (Alternative) Determine on your own the municipalities of
interest. Then open the following link to the NJDEP Data Miner System's SRP
Insitutional Controls Reports page, select the "Well Search
for CEA Biennial Certification By Municipality", and enter
the municipalities of interest when prompted.
More detailed instructions and sample screen shots can be found through
the CEA Biennial Certification Well Search Report Instructions page. As noted above, the Department recommends using the Well Grid Numbers
to find the well permits. Even though the initial effort of finding and
then entering Well Grid Numbers may be cumbersome (a well search encompasses
70-80 grids), the resulting list of well permits that need detailed evaluation
is usually much smaller.
