A 5996 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires developer to submit stormwater impact study as part of application for planned development site plan approval.

This bill requires developers seeking approval for planned development site plans to submit a stormwater impact study as part of their application. The study, conducted by an independent consultant agreed upon by both the developer and local planning board, must evaluate pre- and post-development stormwater runoff, downstream flood risks, and potential mitigation strategies. It applies specifically to planned developments - including residential, commercial, or industrial projects - under New Jersey's Municipal Land Use Law. The change ensures developers assess environmental impacts early in the approval process, without altering existing timelines for site plan reviews.
