WHAT
IS A GENERAL PERMIT?
A
General Permit is a pre-approved permit and
certificate which applies to a specific class of significant
sources. By issuing a General Permit, the Department indicates
that it approves the activities authorized by the General
Permit, provided that the owner or operator of the source,
registers with the Department and meets the requirements
of the General Permit. If a source belongs to a class of
sources which qualify for a General Permit and the owner
or operator of the source registers for the General Permit,
the registration satisfies the requirements of NJAC 7:27-8.3
for a permit and certificate.
