The goal of this New Jersey city is admirable. They are looking to reduce TSS by the use of LID and BMPs. Not only are they trying to reduce stormwater run off, they are also focused on improving the quality of the run off entering the catch basins. What are some of your new goals related to stormwater and stormwater run off? Do you think they are achievable? Do you think they will be supported by land owner? #lowimpact #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #flooding #rain #greeninfrastructure #sustainable #sustainability #permeable #permeablepavers https://lnkd.in/g7ESc8Yv
