Requires DEP to evaluate cumulative impact of stormwater when reviewing applications associated with warehouse and other high-density development projects.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to assess the cumulative stormwater impact of warehouse and high-density development projects during permit reviews. It directly affects developers seeking approval for large-scale warehouse or dense construction projects, mandating the DEP to evaluate how such development impacts stormwater across the local municipality, neighboring towns, and the entire watershed. Key provisions require stormwater management to: recharge groundwater where possible, minimize runoff affecting adjacent properties, protect stream health, and prevent increased pollution in the watershed. The law aims to address regional environmental effects beyond the immediate project site.
