2918 25 STORMWATER 4825 Revised Final

12 B. The standards in this ordinance apply to all major and minor development and are intended to minimize the impact of stormwater runoff on water quality and water quantity in receiving water bodies and maintain groundwater recharge. The standards do not apply to new major development to the extent that alternative design and performance standards are applicable under a regional stormwater management plan or Water Quality Management Plan adopted in accordance with Department rules. C. Stormwater management measures for minor development shall be designed to provide erosion control, groundwater recharge and stormwater runoff quantity control through the utilization of green infrastructure techniques as follows: 1. Stormwater management facilities shall be designated to manage 6 inches of rainfall on all new impervious surfaces and meet the standards for runoff quantity and green infrastructure. 2. Soil Testing shall be performed in accordance with the current rules at N.J.A.C. 7:8. 3. The minimum standards for erosion control established under the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act, N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq., and implementing rules at N.J.A.C. 2:90 shall be met. 4. Regular and effective maintenance shall be performed for all stormwater management facilities and shall be protected by owner. Note: Alternative standards shall provide at least as much protection from stormwater-related loss of groundwater recharge, stormwater quantity and water quality impacts of major development projects as would be provided under the standards in N.J.A.C. 7:8-5. § 25-29.4—Stormwater Management Requirements for Major Development A. The development design shall use Low Impact Development Techniques to achieve the minimum of stormwater runoff that must be managed through green infrastructure and other stormwater management measures. Retention of natural landscape features shall be emphasized in the design. B. The development shall incorporate a maintenance plan for the stormwater management measures incorporated into the design of a major development in accordance with § 25-29.12. C. Stormwater management measures shall avoid adverse impacts of concentrated flow on habitat for threatened and endangered species as documented in the Department’s Landscape Project or Natural Heritage Database established under N.J.S.A. 13:1B-15.147 through 15.150, particularly Helonias bullata

threatened and endangered species as documented in the Department’s Landscape Project or Natural Heritage Database established under N.J.S.A. 13:1B-15.147 through 15.150, particularly Helonias bullata (swamp pink) and/or Clemmys muhlnebergi (bog turtle) D. The following linear development projects are exempt from the groundwater recharge, stormwater runoff quality, and stormwater runoff quantity requirements of § 25-29.4 Q, R and S:
