New Development and Redevelopment Handbook

The New Development and Redevelopment Handbook provides general guidance for selecting and implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutants in runoff in newly developed areas and redeveloped areas to waters of the State. This handbook also provides guidance on developing project-specific stormwater management plans including selection and implementation of BMPs for a particular development or redevelopment project.
