The Division of Water Quality has created the tools below to facilitate the collection of PFAS data from treatment entities across New Jersey.  This will aid in the efforts to identify, reduce, and eliminate sources of PFAS in wastewater and its residuals.  DWQ encourages the submission of data to help gain a better understanding of PFAS sources.

On January 17, 2023, the Commissioner signed Administrative Order 2023-01 to encourage the collection of data.

The Division of Water Quality has also issued Requests for Information to certain permittees for PFAS monitoring to aid in its data collection efforts to address PFAS. More information can be found here:

• Requests for Information issued to Category B and L permittees on August 18, 2021, March 23, 2022, and October 5, 2022: PFAS – Category B and L Permittees.
• Request for Information issued to Class B Preparers under a Letter of Land Application Management Approval on January 8, 2025: PFAS – Sewage Sludge and Residuals.
