(e) If a proposed discharge may affect the biological, chemical, or physical integrity of the waters of any state(s) other than New Jersey, the Department shall provide an opportunity for such state(s) to submit written comments within the public comment period and to suggest permit conditions. If these recommendations are not accepted, the Department shall notify the affected state and the USEPA in writing, prior to permit issuance, of the Department's intent not to accept these recommendations, together with the reasons for so doing. The USEPA shall then have the same amount of time provided for applications and draft general permits in N.J.A.C. 7:7A-19.5 to comment upon, object to, or make recommendations regarding the Department's action.
