CEA Biennial Certification Well Search Report Instructions
Updated 10 June 2008
1. CEA Biennial Certification Well Search Instructions
A well search of the area surrounding a Classification
Exception Area (CEA) is required as part of the biennial certification
approval process. To obtain this information two reports are available,
via the Department’s web site and Data Miner. Data Miner is a reporting
tool used by the Department that can pull live data from
the Department's primary database. The two reports are “CEA Biennial
Certification Well Search by Atlas Grid" and “CEA Biennial
Certification Well Search by Municipality”. These two reports have
been designed to automatically filter out monitor well permits and some
other types of well permits that are not pertinent to the CEA biennial
certification well search process.
To begin this process click on https://njems.nj.gov/DataMiner/Search/SearchByCategory?isExternal=y&getCategory=y&catName=Site+Remediation select the desired report and follow the “Detailed Instructions”
for data entry explained below.
Note - This process is intended for biennial
certifications only. The Data Miner well search process is not intended
for use when submitting a CEA application. The general requirement
to submit a well search as part of the CEA application is in the Technical
Requirements for Site Remediation at N.J.A.C.
7:26E Technical Requirements 8.3(b)4; however, the applicable detailed
well search requirements are at N.J.A.C.
7:26E-1.17(a)
2. Detailed Instructions
Detailed instructions for both reports are as follows:
2a. CEA Biennial Certification Well Search by
Municipality
This report enables the requestor to receive a list of all the permitted
wells within a selected Municipality. The report includes the well
permit number, primary use information, status and owner information and
well location data. The requestor must enter the Program Interest
ID (sometimes called the Preferred ID), the Municipality and a date range.
Run this report for all municipalities within 1 mile of the CEA.
- Select the "CEA Biennial Certification Well Search by Municipality"
via the Institutional Controls category in the Site Remediation section
of Data Miner
- Enter the Program Interest ID (sometimes called the Preferred ID)
in the appropriate field.
- Enter the Municipality. More than one municipality can be entered
if desired.
- Select the desired start date. The start date is the date the Department
established the CEA or the date of the last completed biennial review,
whichever is more recent.
- Select the desired end date.
- Select OK to review report results.
Note - There are three "tabs' available
at the bottom of the report page. The report defaults to the "Well
Grid Analysis Summary" tab. However, the requestor can obtain
more detailed information by clicking on the "Individual Well Information
Detail" tab. The "Certification" tab will be discussed
later in this document.
2b. CEA Biennial Certification Well Search by
Atlas Grid
This report enables the requestor to receive a list of
all the permitted wells within a selected Atlas grid or grids. The
report includes the well permit number, primary use information, status
and owner information and well location data. The requestor must
enter the Program Interest ID (sometimes called the Preferred ID), the
Atlas grid and a date range.
- Select "CEA Biennial Certification Well Search by Atlas Grid"
via the Institutional Controls category in the Site Remediation section
of Data Miner
- Enter the Program Interest ID (sometimes called the Preferred ID)
in the appropriate field.
- Enter the Atlas grid in the appropriate field. Up to 32 grid numbers
can be entered if desired. Be sure to separate the grid numbers
with semi colons.
- Select the desired start date. The start date is the date the Department
established the CEA or the date of the last completed biennial review,
whichever is more recent.
- Select the desired end date.
- Select OK to review report results.
Note - There are three "tabs' available
at the bottom of the report page. The report defaults to the "Well
Grid Analysis Summary" tab. However, the requestor can obtain
more detailed information by clicking on the "Individual Well Information
Detail" tab. The "Certification" tab will be discussed
later in this document.
If the Atlas grids are not known, they can be identified
by using IMap on the DEP web site. Click on https://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/depsplash.htm# and select “Launch iMapNJ DEP”
- Use the “Find Location of Interest” query to zoom into
the location of the CEA.
- Turn on the “Well Program Grid” data layer the “Ground
Water Contamination Areas (CEA)” data layer and the “Aerial
Photos 2002” data layer by clicking on the adjacent boxes and
clicking on the “refresh map” button.
- The Atlas grid number will be shown in the middle of the grid.
Enter all the Atlas grid numbers within a 1-mile radius of the CEA,
into the Data Miner data entry window. Capture and print out a screen
shot that shows the site and surrounding Atlas grid numbers. Submit
a copy of this screen shot along with the documentation identified below
if you use the "CEA Biennial Certification Well Search by Atlas
Grid" report to identify well permits.
- Currently, a maximum of 32 Atlas grid numbers can be entered into
the Atlas grid data entry window. If more than 32 grid numbers are required
to fulfill the criteria above, rerun the report, with the additional
grid numbers, until all the required grid numbers have been entered.
3. Document Data Miner Report Results - Certification
To document the results from either Data Miner report
select the "Certification" tab at the bottom of the report.
Enter the site name and address information in the spaces provided.
Print out the report and then print and sign your name on the space provided
at the end of the report. If no well permits were issued, the report meets
the requirements outlined in N.J.A.C. 7:26E-8.6(a)3. Submit this signed
Data Miner report and Atlas grid screen shot, if appropriate, with the
CEA Biennial Certification Report.
4. Well Permit Evaluation
If the report shows well permits have been issued, additional
evaluation is necessary to meet the requirements outlined in N.J.A.C.
7:26E-8.6(a)3 [pdf]. To document your
well search evaluation for the CEA biennial certification, obtain the
well completion records for wells that have been installed. These
records are available through the Bureau of Water Allocation. Tabulate
any specific information available for the wells, including well owner
name, well address, distance from the site, type of well, status of the
well (active, inactive, properly abandoned etc. pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:9‑9
et seq.), total depth, casing length, open bore hole or screened interval.
Include copies of the well records for all wells that have influenced
or may influence the protectiveness of the CEA. Accurately show
the locations of those wells on a scaled map (scale shall be greater than
or equal to 1:24,000) in relation to the facility. Submit this information
as well as the documentation from item “3” above with the
CEA Biennial Certification Report.
Thank you for using Data Miner and iMapNJ DEP.
