Understanding the effects of development on the hydrologic cycle

What is stormwater?

Water resulting from precipitation (including rainand snow) that runs off the land’s surface, istransmitted to the subsurface, or is captured byseparate storm sewers or other sewage ordrainage facilities, or conveyed by snow removalequipment.

“Stormwater”

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

N.J.A.C.7:8-5.4(a)3.i:Demonstrate through hydrologic and hydraulic analysisthat for stormwater leaving the site, post-constructionrunoff hydrographs for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year stormevents do not exceed, at any point in time, the pre-construction runoff hydrographs for the same stormevents;

Runoff Quantity Control Option 1

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

N.J.A.C.7:8-5.4(a)3.ii:Demonstrate through hydrologic and hydraulic analysisthat there is no increase, as compared to the pre-construction condition, in the peak runoff rates ofstormwater leaving the site for the 2-, 10-, and 100-yearstorm events and that the increased volume orchange in timing of stormwater runoff will not increaseflood damage at or downstream of the site. Thisanalysis shall include the analysis of impacts of existingland uses and projected land uses assuming fulldevelopment under existing zoning and land useordinances in the drainage area; or 18

Runoff Quantity Control Option 2

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

N.J.A.C.7:8-5.4(a)3.iii:Design stormwater management measures so that thepost-construction peak runoff rates for the 2-, 10-, and100-year storm events are 50, 75 and 80 percent,respectively, of the pre-construction peak runoff rates.The percentages apply only to the post-constructionstormwater runoff that is attributable to the portion ofthe site on which the proposed development orproject is to be constructed.

Runoff Quantity Control Option 3

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

N.J.A.C.7:8-5.4(a)3.iv:This requirement does not apply to projects in tidalflood hazard areas if it is clear the project will notcause downstream flooding:

Discharges into large tidally controlled watercourses, bays, inlets, the Ocean, etc.

Runoff Quantity Control Exemption

Understanding the effects of development on the hydrologic cycle

• Increased runoff volume and rate of stormwater

• Degraded water quality

• Depleted groundwater and stream baseflow

Overview

21

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

Applies when a project proposes > ¼ acre of new impervious coverage

Requirements:- Remove 80% TSS from developed site- Remove nutrients to max. extent feasible

22

Runoff Quality Control

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

BMPs must be designed to manage the Water Quality Design Storm:

1.25” rainfall over 2 hoursCustom Distribution shown in the rules

23

Runoff Quality Control

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

This requirement does not apply to discharges thathave a separate NJPDES permit with a numericalTSS effluent limitation.

24

Runoff Quality Control

Understanding the effects of development on the hydrologic cycle

• Increased runoff volume and rate of stormwater

• Degraded water quality

• Depleted groundwater and stream baseflow

Overview

25

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.4(a)2.i(1):Demonstrate through hydrologic and hydraulic analysisthat the site and its stormwater managementmeasures maintain 100 percent of the average annualpreconstruction groundwater recharge volume for thesite; or

26

Groundwater Recharge Option 1

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.4(a)2.i(2):Demonstrate through hydrologic and hydraulic analysisthat the increase of stormwater runoff volume frompre-construction to post-construction for the two-yearstorm is infiltrated.

27

Groundwater Recharge Option 2

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

This requirement does not apply to previouslydeveloped portions of urban redevelopmentareas:

Previously developed = areas cleared of woody vegetation

28

Groundwater Recharge Exemption

Stormwater Management Rule Requirements

N.J.A.C. 7:8-5.2(a):Must use nonstructural strategies to the maximumextent practicable before any structural measures maybe used.
