Storm water management or drainage plans which require approval by the County Engineer, shall indicate whether storm water will be managed on-site or off-site, and if on-site the general location and type management. Those storm water management or drainage plans shall be referred for comment to the department and other public agencies including state and/ or municipalities. A storm water management or drainage plan must be in conformance with NJAC 7:13-1.1 (Floor Hazard Area) and NJAC 7:7F1 (Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act Rule). Any alteration of current land use to another form of urbanized development, which will increase the rate of volume of storm runoff or degrade quality of runoff, should be required to implement storm water management techniques. The application should be flexible enough to account for location differences within a watershed while still providing for adequate water quantity and quality controls. Any detention techniques mentioned in publication “A Guide to Storm water Management Practices in New Jersey” would be acceptable to the County. For large developments in which the impervious area is greater than one acre, the water quality requirement for detention basin must be in conformance with NJAC 7:8-3.4 (NJ Storm water Management Regulations). To determine allowable release rates and the required storage of the detention basin for small developments the attached design procedure will be used. In addition to the above, the development adjacent to County road right-of-way will not be allowed to discharge storm water run off, especially point discharge into a County road. No subdivision or site plan approval shall be issued by the County, unless a storm water management or drainage plan, consistent with the requirements of this section, or waiver thereof, for the plat or parcel, has been approved by the County Engineer.
