DRAFT PROPOSED REVISIONS – OCTOBER 2011 travel from the hydraulically most distant point of the watershed to the point of interest within a watershed; (e) Minimize land disturbance including clearing and grading; (f) Minimize soil compaction; (g) Provide low-maintenance landscaping that encourages retention and planting of native vegetation and minimizes the use of lawns, fertilizers and pesticides; (h) Provide vegetated open-channel conveyance systems discharging into and through stable vegetated areas; (i) Provide other source controls to prevent or minimize the use or exposure of pollutants at the site in order to prevent or minimize the release of those pollutants into stormwater runoff. These source controls include, but are not limited to: (1) Site design features that help to prevent accumulation of trash and debris in drainage systems; (2) Site design features that help to prevent discharge of trash and debris from drainage systems; (3) Site design features that help to prevent and/or contain spills or other harmful accumulations of pollutants at industrial or commercial developments; and (4) When establishing vegetation after land disturbance, applying fertilizer in accordance with the requirements established under the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act, N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq., and implementing rules. 3. Any land area used as a nonstructural stormwater management measure to meet the performance standards in subsection 25-29.4f. and g. shall be dedicated to a government agency, subjected to a conservation restriction filed with the appropriate County Clerk's office, or subject to an approved equivalent restriction that ensures that measure or an equivalent stormwater management measure approved by the reviewing agency is maintained in perpetuity. 4. Guidance for nonstructural stormwater management measures is available in the New Jersey Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. The manual is available on the

rpetuity. 4. Guidance for nonstructural stormwater management measures is available in the New Jersey Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. The manual is available on the Department of Environmental Protections' stormwater web page at http://www.nj stormwater.org. f. Erosion Control, Groundwater Recharge and Runoff Quantity Standards. 1. This section contains minimum design and performance standards to control erosion, encourage and control infiltration and groundwater recharge, and control stormwater runoff quantity impacts of major development. (a) The minimum design and performance standards for erosion control are those established under the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act, N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et seq. and implementing rules. (b) The minimum design and performance standards for groundwater recharge are as follows: (1) The design engineer shall, using the assumptions and factors for stormwater runoff and groundwater recharge calculations at subsection 25-29.5, either: [a] Demonstrate through hydrologic and hydraulic analysis that the site and its stormwater management measures maintain one hundred 163
