If your project proposes a new sewer proposes a new sewer, DEP will require an SD1&2 which your engineer will create and file for approval. This application will advise on the size, type, and connection for the proposed sewer. In addition to the new sewer main, it will note if a storm water detention or retention system is required. Depending on what the application proposes, different regulations will apply in order to obtain permits. Your project coordinator will walk you through this process to expedite permit approval.
Depending on your project, a new proposed water main may require the installation of an rpz & meter. If so, your engineer will need to create and file a DEP Cross Connection Letter (Backflow Prevention Letter). This application will advise on the size and type of service to be installed. In addition, it will note the size and type of rpz and meter to be installed. This approval will be required to obtain permits whether you have a ground-up project, renovation or DEP is requiring the installation of an rpz.
The installation process will begin with installing the proposed sewer (if proposed). The roadway, sidewalk, and property (if applicable) will be excavated in preparation to install the sewer pipe by the SD1&2. Upon piping, DEP & DOB will inspect the new service.
