Determination of Environmental Benefit of Reuse of Treated Effluent in Industrial Facilities
The regulations at N.J.A.C. 7:14D establish the requirements and procedures by which the Department will determine whether treatment equipment or conveyance equipment purchased for an industrial facility for purposes of reusing further treated effluent in an industrial process will, in its operation, and considered in conjunction with the reuse of the further treated effluent that results from that operation, result in an environmental benefit to the water resources of the State. Consistent with the provisions of N.J.A.C. 7:14D-2.1, facilities seeking this determination are required to submit an application.
A Determination of Environmental Benefit (i.e. DEB) issued by the Department can be submitted to the New Jersey State Department of Treasury, Division of Taxation for a corporate business tax credit and/or sales tax refund for the eligible treatment or conveyance equipment purchased for the exclusive purpose of reusing further treated effluent in industrial processes.
