New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
The NJDEP will be offering a two-day training course, free of charge, this spring to support compliance with the design review conditions of the existing Tier A Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems Permit (NJDEP Master General Permit No. NJ0141852, Category R9).
This training is also geared at helping design engineers, municipal engineers and other individuals who review stormwater management designs for development and redevelopment projects on behalf of a municipality. Continuing education credits will be available for those who successfully complete the course.
The first session is scheduled in April. Seating will be limited. Email invitations will be sent in the near future. To assist the Department in helping the municipalities provide compliant reviews, please email the following information by close of business on February 15, 2017 to Lisa.Schaefer@dep.nj.gov:
- Name of person who conducts stormwater management design reviews for your municipality
- Email contact information and telephone number for the identified reviewer
- Name of the municipality for which the person conducts the design reviews
At present, enrollment is voluntary; however, the Department will be proposing that this training become mandatory as a condition of the next renewal of the Tier A MS4 NJPDES Permit. This is a good opportunity to get ahead of a proposed permit condition that, if finalized, will require completion of the Stormwater Management Design Review Course once every five years.

NJ Spotlight
The state has a well-recognized problem with an aging drinking-water infrastructure, some of it 100 years old or older. Water-main breaks disrupt service, and occasionally lead to boil-water advisories for customers. On top of that, projections are that between 20 percent and 30 percent of treated drinking water is lost through leaks before it ever gets to a home or business.

A Pennsylvania lawmaker has dropped his efforts to name a bridge after former Vice President Joe Biden. Scranton City Council opposed the move by Democratic state Rep. Kevin Haggerty because the bridge being built in Biden's hometown is already named for a veteran. It honors Col. Frank Duffy, the highest-ranking soldier from Scranton to die in World War I.
