WW Council Introduces Revised Stormwater Management Ordinance
New Jersey's residents face threats from the devastating impacts of extreme rainfall events which are expected to continue to intensify.
On June 10th, the West Windsor Council introduced a revised ordinance for Stormwater Management. This revision was required following the adoption of the NJ Department of Environmental Protection's Inland Flood Protection Rule, effective July 17, 2023.
New Jersey’s residents face threats from the devastating impacts of extreme rainfall events which are expected to continue to intensify in their frequency and severity. The Inland Flood Protection Rule protects public safety by ensuring that areas at most significant risk are better defined and that new and reconstructed assets in these areas are designed and constructed using the best available climate-informed precipitation data.
I voted against the introduction of this municipal ordinance revision because I felt that the revisions were not strong enough.
