§ 30-35 Surface water management.
A.
Applicability.
(1)
No site plan approval, zoning variance, building permit, subdivision approval or approval for any on-site activity involving the alteration of ground cover or the alteration in the natural (or existing) runoff patterns, including but not limited to: siting and construction of structures, construction of impervious surfaces, driveway paving, swimming pool construction, construction of roof areas, earth moving resulting in changes in existing contours, or removal of significant areas of vegetative cover, shall be granted without a condition that the development shall also be subject to the approval by the Borough Engineer of a Surface Water Management Plan before the permitted on-site activity (development) shall commence.
(2)
The Borough Engineer may waive the requirement of a Surface Water Management Plan based upon the Engineer's finding that there is no appreciable increase anticipated in rate or velocity of runoff from the site, based upon the Engineer's site inspection and review of plans submitted by the applicant.
(3)
Construction involving the repair or replacement of existing structures in kind shall not be exempt from the requirements of this section.
(4)
The Surface Water Management Plan shall address the management of flood waters with potential velocity impacts in the areas indicated as a "V" zone under the Borough's adopted Flood Insurance Rate Map as issued by FEMA, inclusive of associated impacts of adjacent properties from diversion of flood waters around structures and potential debris from proposed structures on the site.
B.
General standards.
(1)
The stormwater management provisions of the Residential Site Improvement Standards (RSIS), N.J.A.C. 5:21-7.1 et seq., shall supersede the provisions of this chapter, where the RSIS is applicable. The provisions of this chapter shall govern where they do not conflict with the RSIS.
(2)
The rate and velocity of runoff from the site following completion of the disturbance, alteration in the ground cover, building modification, or alteration in the natural (or existing) runoff patterns shall not exceed that which would result under total coverage in a brush/weed/grass mixture in good hydrologic condition, as defined by USDA Soil Conservation Service Standards, TR-55 or latest technology. The rate and velocity of runoff resulting from existing cover can be used to compare the rate and velocity of runoff from the site following completion of the proposed activity, only if it can be demonstrated that existing cover does not cause excessive runoff onto adjacent properties which results in damage or degradation of the adjacent properties.
(3)
Maximum use shall be made of presently existing and natural surface water runoff control devices or areas such as existing storm sewer systems, vegetative cover, favorable grading, as well as any proposed retention structures.
(4)
To the greatest possible extent, the Surface Water Management Plan shall avoid the concentration of surface water flow and shall provide for dissipation of velocities.
(5)
The Borough recognizes that, in certain cases, fill is placed at the perimeter of structures elevated above existing grade. In no case shall fill be placed at slopes exceeding three to one (3:1) (horizontal to vertical). The applicant must also demonstrate that there is sufficient buffer area between the base of the fill and any adjacent property to mitigate the increased rate and velocity of the runoff from the slopes of the embankment; or surface water runoff shall be otherwise controlled to the satisfaction of the Borough Engineer.
C.
Design standards. For engineering review by the Borough Engineer, the following standards shall apply:
(1)
For calculating runoff and controls, the USDA Soil Conservation Service Methods, TR-55 or latest technology, shall be used. The site shall be evaluated, at a minimum, based upon a two (2) year twenty-four (24) hour storm. See the Residential Site Improvement Standards (RSIS), N.J.A.C. 5:21-7.2.
(2)
In lieu of computing the differences in existing and proposed surface water runoff, the applicant may propose a surface water retention structure which will provide 0.25 CF of storage volume per square foot of total impervious surfaces. This simplified method of computation will not necessarily be acceptable to demonstrate that the proposed activity does not result in damage or degradation of adjacent properties. For example, in the case where vegetated areas are altered in addition to the construction of impervious surfaces, the applicant must demonstrate that the alteration of vegetated area does not cause an increase in the rate and velocity of surface water runoff, or the applicant must provide additional retention volume.
(3)
Existing drainage ways or storm sewers shall not be overloaded with increased runoff, sediment, or other pollution resulting from the proposed activity. The Surface Water Management Plan shall include calculations which demonstrate that any affected drainage way or storm sewer has sufficient capacity for runoff resulting from a two (2) year twenty-four (24) hour storm. The Rational Method shall be acceptable, however the Rational and Modified Rational Method shall not be utilized for design detention facilities for areas larger than one acre.
(4)
Innovative surface water runoff control and/or recharge devices may be proposed, such as rooftop storage, dry wells, or roof drain infiltration trenches, provided they are accompanied by detailed engineering plans and calculations.
(5)
Connections to existing storm sewer systems within public rights-of-way or easements are prohibited.
(6)
The Surface Water Management Plan shall be designed such that the proposed activity does not unduly degrade the quality of surface waters. For example, vegetated areas with indigenous species shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible and/or vegetated areas shall be planted, preferably, with indigenous species.
(7)
The Surface Water Management Plan shall be designed to address impacts of diverted velocity flood water from the site to eliminate or minimize the introduction of structural debris into the flood stream and potential impacts to neighboring properties, according to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Chapter 44 and associated FEMA guidelines.
D.
Data required.
(1)
The applicant shall submit a plan for Surface Water Management, along with any Site Plan Application, Subdivision Application, or Building Permit Application.
(2)
The Surface Water Management plan shall contain sufficient information to evaluate the effects of the proposed activity on adjacent properties including, but not limited to:
(a)
Lot and block numbers of the site as shown on the current Tax Map of the Borough.
(b)
Name and address of the owner of the land.
(c)

(a)
The suitability of the applicant's proposed surface water management measures, devices and planning techniques, whether involving on-site or off-site measures or some combination thereof in respect to the total surface water runoff, velocities and rates of discharge which the applicant's proposed construction or land disturbance may generate;
(b)
Existing topography, present vegetation and hydrologic and hydraulic factors;
(c)
The design storm;
(d)
Natural drainage flow;
(e)
Land uses in the immediate vicinity of the site;
(f)
