S 1232 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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 combined stormwater impact of warehouse and high-density development projects when reviewing permit applications. It mandates the DEP to evaluate how these projects affect not just the applicant municipality, but also neighboring towns and the broader watershed. The DEP must ensure stormwater management minimizes runoff to adjacent properties, protects stream health, recharges groundwater, and prevents increased pollution in the watershed. This policy directly affects developers seeking permits for warehouses or dense projects and ensures regional environmental considerations are part of the review process.
