NJ did not assign WLAs to individual point sources; rather, a gross WLA was established. This aggregate approach was taken due to the specific circumstances of this TMDL, including that the total WLA represents a very small fraction (approximately 1.1%) of the total allocation. Refer to TMDL document.
