  • Stormwater discharge permits are required for most construction and mining activities involving one or more acres of land under the New Jersey Pollution Discharge Elimination System. These permits are obtained through NJDEP's EPERMIT website.

  • As part of the plan review process, Soil Conservation Districts review pre- and post-development hydrologic site data and drainage area maps of construction sites.

  • The Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act of 1975 as amended, (N.J.S.A. 4:24-39 et. seq.,) requires that virtually all non-agricultural land disturbance activities disturbing more than 5,000 square feet of surface area be performed in accordance with a plan for soil erosion and sediment control which meets SSCC standards as certified by the Soil Conservation District.

    Soil Conservation Districts do not regulate flooding issues associated with construction sites. Municipalities are responsible for flooding.
