SFSR Submitted Public Comments for the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission’s Draft CSO Permits!

In March, NJDEP released the draft Combined Sewer Overflow permits for eight municipalities within the PVSC service region, including Bayonne, East Newark, Harrison, Jersey City, Kearny, Newark, North Bergen, and Paterson.

Notice of this draft permit action appeared on the Division of Water Quality’s website at www.nj.gov/dep/dwq, in The Herald News and Star Ledger, and in the March 19, 2025 DEP Bulletin. The DEP Bulletin is available on the internet at http://www.state.nj.us/dep/bulletin.
