§30-512 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND FLOODING

All residential developments must comply with the most recent edition of the New Jersey Residential Site Improvement Standards (RSIS) and all its amendments. Where the RSIS do not address a specific design standard then the relevant standard established in this section shall apply. (New)

§30-512.1 Statement of Purpose.

It is hereby determined that the lakes and waterways within the Borough of Roseland are at times subjected to flooding; that such flooding is a danger to the lives and property of the public; that such flooding is also a danger to the natural resources of the Borough, County and State; that development tends to accentuate such flooding by increasing stormwater runoff, due to alteration of the hydrologic response of the watershed in changing from the undeveloped to the developed condition; that such increased flooding procedured by the development of real property contributes increased quantities of water-borne pollutants, and tends to increase channel erosion; that such increased flooding, increased erosion, and increased pollution constitutes deterioration of the water resources of the Borough, the County and the State; and that such increased flooding, increased erosion and increased pollution can be controlled to some extent by the regulation of stormwater runoff from such development. It is therefore determined that it is in the public interest to regulate the development of real property and to establish standards to regulate the additional discharge of stormwater runoff from such developments as provided in this.

The stormwater management design for all residential and nonresidential development shall be in conformance with the Stormwater Management Rule (N.J.A.C. 7:8) of the State of New Jersey and the New Jersey Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual published by the NJDEP dated April 2004 and amended thereafter. These rules set forth the required components of regional and municipal stormwater management plan and establish the stormwater management design and performance standards for new (proposed) development. The design and performance standards for new development include groundwater recharge, runoff quantity controls, runoff quality controls and Category One buffers. Details of the performance standards can be found in Subchapter 5 of the Stormwater Management Rules. (Ord. No. 10-2006)

§30-512.2 Applicability.

The provisions of this section shall be applicable to each of the types of development named below.

a. All site plans and subdivision plans that will add one or more acres of impervious surface (except as provided in paragraph b. below).

b. In the event that control of stormwater runoff is mandated in certain areas for construction covering less than one (1) acre of ground, such lesser developments shall come under provisions of this section.



c. In the case of projects for which State and/or County as well as municipal approval of proposed drainage facilities is required, the applicants shall be required to comply with the stricter of the provisions. The only provisions of the municipal ordinance which shall govern are those requirements which are stricter than those of the County.
