Stormwater Management

What Environmental Commissions Can Do

Many municipalities have not met New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulation requirements that require adoption of stormwater management plans and ordinances.

Environmental commissions can help their municipalities implement the stormwater requirements:

Give your town reasons to take steps to clean up water pollution now;
Offer to fulfill the public education requirement, starting with available brochures and presentations
- Clean Water for Our Town ( 186kb) (ANJEC)
- Keeping Our Waters Clean & Healthy ( 346kb) (Friends of the Estuary, including ANJEC)
Provide stormwater management and stream buffer ordinances, available at Model Ordinances section
Use ANJEC’s three-panel Stormwater Display by calling (973)539-7547 or emailing resourcecenter@anjec.org
Use ANJEC Power Points that outline and summarize key stormwater elements and issues to help municipal boards and residents understand what the town needs to do. Available on Stormwater Management for Municipalities CD
