NJ’s Stormwater Management Rules require fundamental changes in how we plan, design & implement systems & structures for managing stormwater runoff. The rules include new methods & calculations for determining groundwater recharge, & stormwater runoff quality & quantity. For both designers of land use proposals & the public officials who review them, implementing the rules will require an understanding of both the municipal planning in the regulations & the technical standards required. This two-day seminar will explain both aspects of the rule, as well as, present an overview of NJ’s Stormwater Management Program.
