\nGround Water Quality Standards: Proposed Readoption and Recodification
\nwith Amendments, N.J.A.C. 7:9-6 as N.J.A.C. 7:9C<\/p>\n
\nTake notice that the Department of Environmental Protection is proposing to recodify and amend the Ground Water Quality Standards (GWQS) rules at N.J.A.C. 7:9-6 (proposed N.J.A.C.
\n7:9C). Amendments include updating language and outdated references throughout the rule, revising the subsections concerning criteria derivation, and updating many of the health based criteria and
\npractical quantitation levels for specific ground water pollutants listed in the GWQS based on current scientific information in risk assessment and analytical capability. In addition, interim
\nspecific criteria developed and used by the Department since 1993 are being codified as specific criteria in Appendix Table 1. These rules are promulgated under the authority of the New
\nJersey Water Pollution Control Act (N.J.S.A. 58:10A-1 et seq.) and the Water Quality Planning Act 58:11A-1 et seq.).<\/p>\n
