Updates to the New Jersey Stormwater BMP Manual
Department of Environmental Protection
The Department of Environmental Protection has recently finalized modifications and updates to two additional chapters in the New Jersey Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual (BMP Manual). These chapters include "Chapter 5: Stormwater Management Quantity and Quality Standards and Computations," and "Chapter 12: Soil Testing Criteria." Please note Chapter 12 was formerly Appendix E of the BMP Manual.
These updated chapters incorporate edits resulting from the comments received on the draft versions of these chapters in 2020. These updated chapters, along with the rest of the New Jersey Stormwater BMP Manual, are available at www.njstormwater.org/bmp_manual2.htm.
