Is all new development required to comply with the Stormwater Management Rules?
No. Only new development that will ultimately result in the disturbance of one or more acres of land, or increased impervious surface by one-quarter acre or more (i.e. “major development”) and is not exempt from the rules, must comply with the rules. New development with cumulative impacts below these thresholds, major development that is exempt under N.J.A.C. 7:8-1.6 and development that does not require any local or Division of Land Use Regulation permits are not required to comply with these rules.
