FocalPoint’s latest New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Certification – 85% TSS Manufactured Treatment Device at a media infiltration rate of 400 inches/hour.
For our engineering partners and product resellers, this certification is a strong differentiator in competitive specs. When a device can be presented as green‑infrastructure‑approved under one of the most demanding stormwater programs in the country, it stands out against unverified or lesser verified products. In short: NJDEP certification doesn’t just validate FocalPoint’s performance, it amplifies your ability to win projects and secure long‑term client trust.
FocalPoint Is Now NJDEP‑Certified
The FocalPoint High‑Capacity Modular Biofiltration System has achieved formal certification from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection as an 85% TSS removal Manufactured Treatment Device. This approval is based on rigorous performance testing and a certified media infiltration rate of 400 inches/hour (4 gpm/ft²), giving designers a high‑rate option backed by third‑party regulatory review. As part of this decision, NJDEP recognizes FocalPoint as a green infrastructure MTD in accordance with the March 2, 2020 amendments to the Stormwater Management rules (N.J.A.C. 7:8).
- NJDEP‑certified 85% TSS removal MTD
- Certified loading rate: 400 in/hr (4 gpm/ft²) media infiltration
- Recognized as green infrastructure under N.J.A.C. 7:8
- Ideal for constrained sites, streetscapes, and retrofit projects
Why NJDEP certification matters
NJDEP operates one of the most respected stormwater technology review processes in the country. Having FocalPoint certified under this program means its performance claims have been independently validated against stringent state standards, not just vendor testing. For many engineers, regulators, and owners across the U.S., NJDEP certification is a powerful signal that a device is credible, reliable, and ready for prime time.
Even outside New Jersey, NJDEP approvals are often used as a benchmark when agencies and design firms evaluate new stormwater technologies. An NJDEP‑certified 85% TSS MTD with a certified media infiltration rate of 400 inches/hour (4 gpm/ft²), gives you a clear performance assumption for sizing and modeling, which reduces uncertainty and speeds up design reviews. It also helps owners and reviewers feel confident that they are investing in a solution with documented results and a strong regulatory track record.
Proof Is In The Performance
FocalPoint utilizes physical, chemical and biological mechanisms of a soil, plant and microbe complex to achieve pollutant removal rates consistent with traditional bioretention, and the option of increased removal characteristics for specific pollutant targets.

WHY ENGINEERS NEED FOCALPOINT
FocalPoint is engineered to bring true green infrastructure performance to the places where you actually need it—tight rights‑of‑way, retrofit corridors, parking lots, and dense urban infill sites. Its high media infiltration rate allows you to treat more water in a smaller footprint, reducing land take and construction complexity. At the same time, the biofiltration media and vegetation provide robust pollutant removal and support broader resilience and placemaking goals.
Designers appreciate that FocalPoint integrates seamlessly into complete treatment trains. With appropriate pretreatment for gross pollutants and energy dissipation, it delivers reliable TSS reduction and helps address metals, nutrients, and hydrocarbons. Owners value the access and maintainability built into the system, which helps keep lifecycle costs under control and supports long‑term performance. Whether you are working under strict regulatory requirements or simply aiming for better water quality and flood resilience, FocalPoint offers a proven, flexible platform.
- High‑rate media for compact designs
- Flexible configuration for retrofits and new builds
- Supports water‑quality, resiliency, and urban design goals
- Backed by NJDEP certification and a strong support team
