Pretreatment Program

The Pretreatment Program is intended to protect local agency sewage treatment plants from non-domestic wastewater which may interfere with treatment processes, contaminate sewage sludge, or pass through sewage treatment plants.

The New Jersey Pretreatment Program is comprised of (I) the local agencies who accept this wastewater, (II) the industrial facilities whose discharges are regulated by the local agencies or the Department, and (III) the Dental Amalgam Program.
