- Nitrate Map Request Form - This form is necessary if you are proposing a project that will utilize on-lot sewage facilities. DEP has concerns about areas with existing groundwater nitrate concentrations above 5mg/l. If your project area contains groundwater nitrates at or above this level, testing required by DEP could add considerable time and expense to your project. By obtaining this map you will be provided with information about existing nitrate concentrations on or near the property you are proposing to subdivide. If the map shows elevated nitrate concentrations within ¼ mile of the property you can anticipate that a DEP hydrologic evaluation will be required.
