Stormwater Management

Stormwater management facilities include detention basins, retention basins, water quality devices, infiltration facilities and other structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) recommended by the NJDEP. Storm water quality devices and stormfilters such as those produced by Cultec, Vortechnics, and Stormceptor require periodic maintenance to function properly, and are currently incorporated into many stormwater management systems. The regular inspection and maintenance of these facilities is essential to their proper operation to reduce flooding and prevent the pollution of surface and ground water. Inspections will identify structural and functional problems as well as satisfy the NJDEP Dam Safety requirements for certain types of these structures. Routine maintenance includes debris and vegetation removal, trash rack cleaning, and channel cleaning.
