In accordance with NJDEP's amended Stormwater Management Rules (N.J.A.C.
7:8), Jersey City has adopted an updated Stormwater Control Ordinance
(345-74), effective March 1st, 2021. The amendments replace the current
requirement that major developments incorporate nonstructural stormwater
management strategies to the "maximum extent practicable" with a
requirement that green infrastructure be utilized to meet stormwater
management standards. Jersey City's Stormwater Ordinance imposes a more
stringent definition of major development and includes a new definition
for minor development. These thresholds and other requirements can be
found in the full ordinance
here.
