Section 7:8-3.6 - Drainage area-specific design and performance standards
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024
(a) The regional stormwater management plan shall identify drainage area-specific design and performance standards in order to meet the drainage area-specific water quality, groundwater recharge and water quantity objectives identified under N.J.A.C. 7:8-3.5.
(b) Drainage area-specific design and performance standards may include performance standards for control of stormwater quantity, erosion, groundwater recharge, and stormwater quality, as well as design standards for stormwater management measures, including green infrastructure, and nonstructural stormwater management strategies.
(c) The design and performance standards for stormwater management measures for major development described in N.J.A.C. 7:8-5shall be incorporated into the regional stormwater management plan. Alternative drainage area-specific design and performance standards may be developed provided the alternative standard is at least as protective as would be achieved under N.J.A.C. 7:8-5when considered on a regional stormwater management planning area basis.
(d) For stormwater management measures, drainage area-specific design and performance standards shall conform to the general standards at N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.2(f), (g), (i), and (j).
(e) Drainage area-specific design and performance standards do not have to be uniform throughout a drainage area provided the drainage area, when considered in its entirety, satisfies N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.
