Detailed Agenda

A hydrologic model of the Royce Brook Watershed in New Jersey was conducted to assess the efficacy of New Jersey’s stormwater regulations, as outlined in N.J.A.C. 7:8. The most significant changes to these regulations came in 1983, which focused primarily on water quantity, and 2004, which focused primarily on water quality. Four GIS-generated scenarios based on land use and the 1983 and 2004 iterations of the regulations were utilized. The results demonstrate the need for old development to be retrofitted and current stormwater regulations to be updated with a minor development clause.
