This Municipal Stormwater Management Plan (MSWMP) provides strategies for Florence Township to address stormwater-related impacts. The creation of this plan is required by N.J.A.C. 7:14A-25 Municipal Stormwater Regulations. The contents and format are consistent with the requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:8 Municipal Stormwater Management Rules. The plan provides the options and strategies available to improve the management of stormwater throughout Florence Township. The plan addresses groundwater recharge, stormwater quantity, and stormwater quality impacts by incorporating stormwater design and performance standards for new major development, defined as projects that disturb one or more acres of land. The standards and practices provided within are intended to minimize the adverse impact of stormwater runoff on water quality and quantity and the loss of groundwater recharge that provides base flow in receiving water bodies. The plan describes long-term operation and maintenance measures for existing and future stormwater facilities.
A “build-out” analysis has been included in this plan based upon existing zoning and land available for development. This plan also addresses the review and update of the Florence Township Master Plan, existing ordinances, and other related planning documents to allow for project designs that include low impact development techniques and green infrastructure standards. Finally, a mitigation plan will identify the required strategies to offset the impact created by granting a waiver, variance, or exemption of the design and performance standards as se by this plan. As part of the mitigation section of the stormwater plan, specific stormwater management measures are identified to lessen the impact of existing development.
