Jensen Precast Receives MTD Field Test Certification

Jensen Precast announced its StormVault product has received the New Jersey Manufactured Treatment Devices (MTDs) Field Test Certification for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal rate of 80%. The Stormwater Management Rules of the New Jersey Administrative Code allow the use of MTDs for compliance with design and performance standards provided that pollutant removal rates have been certified by the New Jersey Department of Enviromental Protection (DEP).

"We are pleased to receive the MTD Field Test Certification from [DEP]," said Ron Anderson, storm water treatment products division manager for Jensen Precast. "New Jersey is one of five states participating in the TARP (Technology Acceptance Reciprocity Partnership) Protocol for Stormwater Best Management Practice Demonstrations. Other states endorsing this protocol are California, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia."

The N.J. Corporation for Advanced Technology (CAT) first verified pollutant removal rates for StormVault in 2008. Final certification by DEP was issued Nov. 20, 2008. New field and laboratory protocols, however, went into effect July 15, 2011, which required area-scaling tables for hydrodynamic devices to be submitted by Aug. 1. Jensen Precast provided the necessary test results and the final certification for StormVault was reclassified as a field test certification by DEP in September.
