What are the jurisdictional thresholds for the Stormwater Management rules?
Any project that proposes 0.25 acres of “new” impervious surface and/or 1 acre of disturbance overall is considered a “major development” and triggers the rules. See Section 11.0, Division of Land Use Regulation Review below to determine which portions of a site must be counted and compared to these thresholds for Division of Land Use Regulation (DLUR) permits (which includes CAFRA, Waterfront Development, Flood Hazard and Freshwater Wetlands permits). For municipal review under the requirements of the Stormwater Management rules, the jurisdictional threshold is dependent upon each municipality’s adopted ordinances. See Section 12.0, Stormwater Review by Municipalities below and Section 10.0 Impervious Surfaces.
