New Jersey's Private Well Testing Act: Geographic Summary and Community Intervention

Presented by Nicholas A. Procopio III, Ph.D., GISP

Abstract:

This talk will highlight the groundwater quality findings of over 12 years of data collection, and also demonstrate the Department's online interactive map of PWTA data and recent outreach activities. New Jersey's Private Well Testing Act (PWTA) was passed on March 2001 and commenced in September of 2002. It is the nation's first and among only a few state-run private well testing programs. In an effort to protect human health, the Act required that source water from private wells be tested before the closing of any real-estate transaction or new lease agreement. NJDEP uses the data collected through the Act to evaluate groundwater quality throughout the State and to inform municipalities, Counties, and other local government entities of potential hazards.
