(A) No regulated activities within the municipality shall commence until approval by the municipality of a plan which demonstrates compliance with state water quality requirements after construction is complete.
(B) Stormwater BMPs must be designed, implemented, and maintained to meet state water quality requirements, and any other more stringent requirements as determined by the municipality.
(C) To control post-construction stormwater impacts from regulated activities, state water quality requirements can be met by BMPs, including site design, which provide for replication of pre-construction stormwater infiltration and runoff conditions, so that post-construction discharges do not degrade the physical, chemical or biological characteristics of the receiving waters; this may be achieved by the following:
(1) Infiltration: replication of pre-construction stormwater infiltration conditions;
(2) Treatment: use of water quality treatment BMPs to ensure removal of the chemical and physical pollutants from the stormwater runoff; and
(3) Streambank and streambed protection: management of volume and rate of post-construction stormwater discharges to prevent physical degradation of receiving waters (e.g., from scouring).
(a) Provisions for the assurance of long-term operations and maintenance of BMPs must be provided in accordance with § 53.042.
(b) Acceptable stormwater management BMPs must be provided to manage the net increase in stormwater runoff volume from the land development activities from a two-year/24-hour frequency storm. This equates to 2.6 inches of rainfall occurring over a 24-hour period.
(c) Evidence of any necessary permit(s) for earth disturbance activities from the appropriate DEP regional office must be provided to the municipality.
