New federal regulations require municipalities in "urbanized areas" to obtain permits and implement stormwater management programs in the municipality.
Permit applications were filed with DEP by March 10, 2003.
The general plan for development of a stormwater program must be contained in
that application.
The full municipal program must be implemented by March, 2008.
DEP has developed a pre-approved plan to meet the March, 2003 permit application
requirement-the Stormwater Management Protocol.
This General Permit provides a streamlined process to meet the new federal requirements;
in some cases an "individual" permit is needed.
