NJDEP Stormwater Management Rules and BMP Manual
NJDEP Freshwater Wetlands
New Jersey’s Stormwater Management Rules require fundamental changes in how we plan, design and implement systems and structures for managing stormwater runoff. The rules include methods and calculations for determining groundwater recharge and stormwater runoff quality and quantity. For designers of land use proposals and the public officials who review them, implementing the rules will require an understanding of both the municipal planning in the regulations and the technical standards required. This one-day seminar will explain both aspects of the rule, as well as present an overview of NJ’s Stormwater Management Program.

Since plants are the most obvious clues to wetland boundaries, you cannot delineate a wetland without experience identifying vegetation. In this two-day combination classroom and field course, botany specialist Bill Olson will teach you how to quickly and confidently identify plant species that are important in determining if an area meets the hydrophythic vegetation criterion for wetland delineation.
Learn the methods of the experts! This four-day course will introduce you to delineating wetlands using the Federal Interagency Wetland Delineation Manual, which is required for use in New Jersey. Techniques taught will also be applicable to individuals interested in using the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual as well.
FEATURED TOPICS: • Introduction to plant identification • ID characteristics • Wetland plant indicator status • Use of keys in the field • Plant names and groups • Basic botanical terminology • Woody plant morphology • Grass morphology • Sedge/Rush morphology
Recognize the key indicators of wetlands (hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and wetland hydrology) while expert instructors Ralph Tiner and Dr. Peter Veneman show you how to use them in following proper delineation methods. Immediately apply criteria learned in the classroom by performing wetland determinations during team field exercises. VEGETATION: Analyze plant communities and identify dominant plant and indicators of hydrophytic vegetation
“[Veg ID] provided great depth of knowledge in plant identification.”

June 20, 2011 • Course Code: EL0105CA11 $255 before 6/7; $285 after; $225 multiple Looking for the latest developments in land use law? Want to know how to use the laws and regulations to their fullest advantage? Need Continuing Legal Education Credits (CLEs)? If so, this class is a MUST for you! Learn environmental land use law from the best minds in the business! This practical, one-day program assembles some of New Jersey’s top environmental experts to help you better understand how to comply with state and federal environmental land use laws and regulations. Environmental land use law is a maze of overlapping and sometimes conflicting jurisdictions and mandates from many levels of government. This course will help you better plan for, and comply with, those mandates by understanding the organizational structures, the current and future transformation plans for the organizations and the administration of their programs, and legal tools for administering and enforcing environmental laws. Included will be a discussion of the effect of Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA) on land use and development in NJ.
Featured Topics
SOILS: Identify sandy and non-sandy hydric soils based on the National List of hydric soil field indicators
Instructors will present a common sense approach to land use planning. Topics include, but are not limited to:
HYDROLOGY: Recognize direct and indirect indicators

Wetlands training can be difficult to grasp if you start your education in an advanced course. Don’t make the mistake of jumping into the Methodology for Delineating Wetlands course without first being exposed to the basic principles of wetland delineation in this course! This one-day combination classroom and field course, led by wetland expert, Ralph Tiner will teach you the basics of wetland identification and introduce you to the practice of wetland delineation.
