A Municipal Stormwater Management Plan (the "plan") has been developed to address the key issues of flooding, water pollution and public safety related to the impacts of stormwater on the City of Hoboken; and
The plan conforms to all relevant federal and state statutes and rules to include local rainfall intensity curves used in stormwater management design criteria in accordance with the Residential Site Improvement Standards (RSIS) and/or substituted by published local frequency data, when available, which address stormwater management, dam safety, water pollution and flood control.
An additional goal of the plan is to ensure it is consistent with any other plans which deal with stormwater issues as well as with the goals and strategies of the State Development and Redevelopment Plan.
The specific goals of this plan are to:
A. 
Reduce flood damage, including damage to life and property, and minimize, to the extent practical, any increase in stormwater runoff from any new development;
B. 
Protect public safety through the proper design and operation of stormwater basins;
C. 
Reduce soil erosion from any development or construction project;
D. 
Assure the adequacy of existing and proposed culverts and bridges, and other in-stream structures;
E. 
Maintain and/or promote groundwater recharge;
F. 
Prevent, to the greatest extent feasible, an increase in nonpoint pollution;
G. 
Maintain the integrity of stream channels for their biological functions, as well as for drainage;
H. 
Minimize pollutants in stormwater runoff from new and existing developments in order to restore, enhance and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the waters of the state, to protect public health, to safeguard fish and aquatic life and scenic and ecological values and to enhance the domestic, municipal, recreational, industrial and other uses.
The Hoboken Planning Board adopted the Stormwater Management Plan on September 3, 2019, as an integral part of its Master Plan. Within one year after the Stormwater Management Plan is adopted, the City of Hoboken will adopt a Stormwater Control Ordinance to implement the plan. Once both the Stormwater Management Plan and Stormwater Control Ordinance are adopted, the same will be submitted to Hudson County for review and approval.
