Stormwater Management at 911±¬ÁÏÍø
The official definition of stormwater under the N.J.A.C. 7:14A:
‘Stormwater’ means water resulting from precipitation (including rain and snow) that runs off the land’s surface, is transmitted to the subsurface, or is captured by separate storm sewers or other sewage or drainage facilities, or is conveyed by snow removal equipment.
Stormwater plays a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and protecting our communities. Proper management helps prevent flooding, reduces erosion, and minimizes pollution that can harm local rivers, lakes, and groundwater. By controlling stormwater, we safeguard water quality, protect wildlife habitats, and ensure a safe and sustainable environment for everyone.
