The NJDEP released the rule change into the state register on March 2, 2020. A one-year implementation period allows municipalities, developers, engineers, contractors, and other affected parties to adopt these rules into their policies, practices, and in the case of municipalities, their ordinances. On March 2, 2021, the rules will be in full effect, and all new development will be required to meet the new stormwater standards.
The Developers Green Infrastructure Guide 2.0 breaks down New Jersey’s Stormwater Rule amendments and helps developers and decision-makers understand more clearly green infrastructure options and advantages, compare alternatives, evaluate costs and benefits.
The Developers Green Infrastructure Guide 2.0 is brought to you by the Developers Green Infrastructure Task Force, a partnership between New Jersey Future and the New Jersey Builders Association.
The Task Force gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the William Penn Foundation, which made this project possible.
