New Jersey Developers Green Infrastructure Guide

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has published new stormwater rules that require the use of green infrastructure. This new approach is a paradigm shift in New Jersey stormwater management. Developers now have an objective standard that creates multiple infiltration points, mimicking how nature deals with stormwater. New Jersey Future, in partnership with the New Jersey Builders Association, released the Developers Green Infrastructure Guide 2.0 specifically designed for the real estate sector including developers, builders, and their professional teams of engineers, landscape architects, planners, and architects. The guide features detailed information and guidance on New Jersey’s amended stormwater rules, including green infrastructure options (even for challenging sites), advantages, and costs and benefits.
