15 DOING INFRASTRUCTURE GREEN City of Newark s Office of Sustainability Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund Greater Newark Conservancy Ironbound Community Corporation La Casa de Don Pedro Newark Environmental Commission New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection New Jersey Tree Foundation NY/NJ Baykeeper Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program Trust for Public Land Unified Vailsburg Services Organization Urban League of Essex County
16 Newark DIG is... Committed to continuously improving the quality of life, health, and viability of the City of Newark and its residents through use of strategic collaborative methods, including: community-driven urban design public policy planning environmental and social justice advocacy education local capacity building Our primary goal is the establishment of sustainable green infrastructure as the first line of defense to better manage stormwater runoff improve water quality & resilience to flooding reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) with a focus on the Passaic River and its tributaries Community Garden Rainwater Harvesting System at 45 Lyons Avenue Community Pocket Park on GNC Adopt-a-Lot at 35 Murray Street
17 Why Green Infrastructure in Newark? Newark s land is ~70 percent impervious (paved) Source: Spatial Analysis Lab, University of Vermont, on behalf of US Forest Service The combination of paved surface and lack of capacity in sewer and wastewater systems means that heavy rains cause flooding and Combined Sewer Overflows, and could lead to fines and expensive mandates from the EPA.
18 Stormwater Management Plan: Green & Grey City of Newark s Office of Sustainability, Water & Sewer Department, and Engineering Departments are working together with Newark DIG partners to create a Stormwater Management Plan. This plan involves revising the City s stormwater ordinance, creating a city-wide Green Infrastructure Policy, identifying green infrastructure pilot projects, and exploring new funding sources for sustainable stormwater management. The Green Infrastructure Policy will include guidelines for how, when, and where to incorporate green infrastructure into City projects and into regulations for private development.

19 Traffic Triangle at Badger/Clinton Ave City of Newark s Office of Sustainability, Engineering Office, Water & Sewer, Traffic & Signals have partnered with the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program to turn a paved 4,000 sq. ft. traffic triangle into a stormwater planter.

21 Creating Neighborhood Voices for Newark Clean Water Action is preparing the next generation of Newark s environmental advocates for leadership and emerging green jobs. Giving priority to youth and young adults (18-24 years old). Photo Credit: Clean Water Action Clean Water Fund
22 Installing GI Systems that Work for Newark Ensuring Newark residents are green jobs ready - Possess a wide range of skills needed and hired first and supported to do the work. Maximizing community engagement in the design and implementation of green infrastructure in the areas of Water, Waste and Energy
23 Educating Youth: The Secrets of Newark s Water A project by the Newark Public Art Program and Sussex Avenue School is working with groups of 5th, 6th and 7th grade students to investigate how Newark gets clean water and where the water goes after use. Photo Credit: Newark Planning Office
24 Increasing Newark s Tree Canopy Water Resources Program Photo Credit: New Jersey Tree Foundation Lincoln Park Tree Planting South 13th Street Tree Planting New Jersey Tree Foundation has planted over 2,000 trees in the City of Newark since 2006 with 4,800 volunteers in the community. Over 17,000 sq ft of concrete has been removed! Highland Ave Tree Planting
25 Engaging Newark Youth in Urban Forestry Photo Credit: Office of Sustainability The Newark Sustainability Office s Newark Greenstreets program has worked with over 100 students since 2013 to study and enhance the city s tree canopy. Partners include Greater Newark Conservancy, UVSO, Urban League of Essex County, New Community Corporation, ICC, La Casa, and NJ Tree Foundation.
26 Developing a Newark-based Green Workforce Through the Newark Youth Leadership Project and the Clean & Green Team program, the Greater Newark Conservancy is working to reinforce interpersonal communication skills, job training experience, leadership development, and exposure to different career options.

27 Rainwater Harvesting for Community Gardens 179 Broadway Community Garden 483 Washington St Community Garden The Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program, with funding from New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Newark s Office of Sustainability, are installing rainwater harvesting systems in community gardens throughout the city and delivering water conservation workshops. Rain harvesting has also been installed by Greater Newark Conservancy and Ironbound Community Corporation. 45 Lyons Avenue Community Garden
28 Opportunities for Funding Green Infrastructure Projects Work with Newark DIG partners in identifying and implementing green infrastructure projects Revising the City s stormwater ordinance to allow the same volume of water to be managed through off-site green mitigation projects on public land Integrating green infrastructure into planned City projects, including street or sidewalk improvements Explore options with Newark s Water & Sewer Department in restructuring fees dedicated solely to stormwater management.
