Throughout New Jersey, Stormwater Management Facilities (SWMFs) have become standard components of land development projects and familiar sights in our modern landscape. Although their features and characteristics may vary, all SWMFs share a common goal: To mitigate the adverse hydrologic impacts of land development and protect downstream areas from flooding, erosion, and/or water quality degradation. To achieve this goal, all SWMFs share a common need: Thorough maintenance performed on a regular basis. The objective of the STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES MAINTENANCE MANUAL is to insure that this maintenance is provided.
