Stormwater Webpage Template

The Department has created this example stormwater webpage to meet the requirements of the MS4 stormwater permits. The template, images, and PDF documents are available for permittee use. Please email Gabryella Pulsinelli for the template and related files.

What is stormwater?

Human activity is largely responsible for stormwater pollution. Everything that we put on the ground or into the storm drain can end up in our water. Each of us has a responsibility to make sure these contaminants stay out of our water. Whether we have clean water is up to you.


The official definition of stormwater under the New Jersey Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NJPDES) regulations at N.J.A.C. 7:14A is as follows:

'Stormwater' means water resulting from precipitation (including rain and snow) that runs off the land's surface, is transmitted to the subsurface, or is captured by separate storm sewers or other sewage or drainage facilities, or conveyed by snow removal equipment.

Watershed Improvement Plan (WIP)

The purpose of the WIP is to identify opportunities to improve water quality, reduce MS4 contribution of pollutants to waterbodies with impairments and Total Maximum Daily Load(TMDLs), and to address stormwater flooding to protect human health and safety, and the environment.
