New Jersey S2361 mandates the Department of Environmental Protection to set a maximum contaminant level for hexavalent chromium in drinking water.
New Jersey S2361 requires the Department of Environmental Protection to establish a maximum contaminant level for hexavalent chromium (chromium-VI) in drinking water, setting it at 10 parts per billion. This applies to public water systems with varying service connections: 10,000 or more within two years, 1,000 to 9,999 within three years, and fewer than 1,000 within four years. The bill allows for a stricter standard if recommended by the Drinking Water Quality Institute. It does not change the maximum contaminant level for total chromium in drinking water.
