1 Community-Based Green Infrastructure Initiative for New Jersey Presented at the Penn State Center Philadelphia Delaware Valley Stormwater Dialogue March 23, 2017 Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program water.rutgers.edu Christopher C. Obropta, Ph.D., P.E. Jeremiah Bergstrom, LLA, ASLA
2 Water Resources Program Our Mission is to identify and address community water resources issues using sustainable and practical sciencebased solutions. The Water Resources Program serves all of New Jersey, working closely with the County Extension Offices.
3 Program History Created in 2002 Statewide focus $1,500,000 annual operating budget All grant funded Diverse staff Effective partnerships Measurable impact
4 GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN NEW JERSEY
5 Definitions Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs): structural or non-structural management measures designed to control stormwater runoff Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs): name given BMPs by professionals conducting research on stormwater related issues
6 New Jersey s Combined Sewer Communities Municipality Permit Holder Entity County # CSOs Bayonne Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Hudson 30 Camden City Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority Camden 28 CCMUA Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority Camden 1 East Newark Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Hudson 1 Elizabeth Joint Meeting of Essex & Union Union 28 Fort Lee Bergen County Utilities Authority Bergen 2 Gloucester Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority Camden 7 Guttenberg North Bergen Municipal Utilities Authority-Woodcliff Hudson 1 Hackensack Bergen County Utilities Authority Bergen 2 Harrison Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Hudson 7 Jersey City Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Hudson 21 Kearny Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Hudson 5 Newark Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Essex 17 North Bergen North Bergen Municipal Utilities Authority-Woodcliff Hudson 1 North Bergen Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Hudson 9 Paterson Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Passaic 24 Perth Amboy Middlesex County Utilities Authority Middlesex 16 Ridgefield Park Bergen County Utilities Authority Bergen 6 Trenton Trenton Mercer 1 Union City North Hudson Sewerage Authority-Adams Hudson 8 West New York North Hudson Sewerage Authority-West NY Hudson 2 Total 217
7 New Jersey s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) Communities 457 Tier A Stormwater Permits 99 Tier B Stormwater Permits (mostly rural municipalities) 75 Public Complex Stormwater 33 County and State Highway Stormwater Permits
8 Interesting Facts New Jersey is 8,723 square miles Population is 8,864,590 (1,170.64/mi 2 )* 1,055 square miles of impervious cover = 12.1% One inch of rain = 18.2 billion gallons 90% of NJ s rivers are impaired * CT population density is /mi
9 Green Infrastructure is... an approach to stormwater management that is cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Green Infrastructure projects: capture, filter, absorb, and reuse stormwater to restore the natural water cycle.
10 Addressing Impervious Cover Can we eliminate it? Can we change it? Can we disconnect it? Can we reuse it?
11 Programs New Jersey Technical Assistance Program for CSO Communities Creating municipal action team for GI Conducting education and outreach programs for a variety of audiences (dischargers, politicians, residents, businesses, community groups) Developing GI Feasibility Studies Designing demonstration projects Soliciting funding including EIT applications
12 Programs Stormwater Management for Impervious Surfaces for Climate Resiliency Conducting Impervious Cover Assessments (ICAs) Hosting community meetings and delivering workshops Developing Impervious Cover Reduction Action Plans (RAPs) Designing and implementing demonstration projects Updating ordinances, building codes, and master plans
13 Programs Stormwater Management in Your Schoolyard Delivering K-12 educational programs Engaging student in design process Building GI Practices on school properties Assisting with green certification for schools
