Variances/Exemptions

This water system was given a waiver by the NJDEP for exemption from monitoring for synthetic organic compounds (SOCs). SOCs include substances like pesticides, herbicides, and plasticizers.  The waiver was given after the NJDEP performed extensive analyses on the Metedeconk River.  Nevertheless, the Authority performs analyses for this comprehensive list of compounds on the finished water, river intake and reservoir on a regular basis.  Additionally, Brick Utilities has been permitted to reduce monitoring under the Lead and Copper Rule as a result of successful corrosion control efforts.
