Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the Department of Environmental Protection’s volume‑based fee schedule for thermal dischargers is within the authority granted by the legislature and that the retroactive refund relief for industrial dischargers applies only to the parties before the Court. The Court also upheld the agency’s aggregate cost‑allocation methodology as permissible under the statute.
