Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 14, July 15, 2024
(a) The regional stormwater management plan
				shall include a characterization and assessment that addresses the following
				components, unless the committee determines that a component is not appropriate
				for the regional stormwater management planning area and provides a rationale
				for not including the component:
1. Maps
				showing the following information. Maps developed on a Geographical Information
				System shall meet the Digital Data standards in N.J.A.C. 7:1D unless a
				rationale for a different format is provided.
i. The regional stormwater management
				planning area boundary;
ii.
				Existing land uses;
iii. Projected
				land uses assuming full development under existing zoning;
iv. Soil mapping units based on the detailed
				soil maps in County Soil Surveys published by the U.S. Department of
				Agriculture or, in areas for which County Soil Surveys are not available, on
				information obtained from Soil Conservation Districts;
v. Topography based on the U.S. Geological
				Survey Topographic Map, 7.5 minute quadrangle series, or other sources of
				information depicting topography in similar or greater detail;
vi. Water bodies based on detailed map sheets
				in County Soil Surveys published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture; the
				U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Map, 7.5 minute quadrangle series; or other
				sources of information depicting water bodies in similar or greater
				detail;
vii. Coastal wetlands based
				on maps prepared by the Department under the Wetlands Act of 1970, N.J.S.A.
				13:9A-1 et seq., and freshwater wetlands based on maps prepared by the
				Department under the Freshwater Wetlands Protection Act, N.J.S.A. 13:9B-1 et
				seq.;
viii. Flood hazard areas
				based on delineations made by the Department under the Flood Hazard Area
				Control Act, N.J.S.A. 58:16A-50 et seq. For a water body for which the
				Department has not delineated the flood hazard area, a map of the flood hazard
				area prepared in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:13 is acceptable;
ix. Groundwater recharge areas and well head
				protection areas based on maps prepared by the Department or ordinances of an
				affected municipality;
x.
				Environmentally constrained areas and environmentally critical areas;
xi. River areas designated under the New

				Wild and Scenic Rivers Act,
				16 U.S.C. §§
												1278. et seq.;
xii. For each waterbody in the regional
				stormwater management planning area, identification of the waterbody or
				waterbody segment, the drainage area, and the classification of the waterbody
				pursuant to
				N.J.A.C.
				7:9B-1.15;
xiii. Each waterbody designated as a water
				quality limited surface water pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:15-5;
xiv. Man-made stormwater conveyance, storage
				and discharge systems, including municipal separate storm sewer outfall pipes
				and the drainage areas as appropriate for these outfall structures;
				and
xv. Source water areas of
				potable public surface water supply intakes and public water supply reservoirs
