Municipal ordinances can be amended to be more stringent than the requirements of the Stormwater Management rules, but not to be more lax. The Residential Site improvement Standards (RSIS) allow municipalities to require stormwater runoff controls for development falling below major development to address groundwater recharge and stormwater runoff quantity, but not for water quality as provided in the RSIS at N.J.A.C. 5:21-7.1.
