Bill overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to designate municipalities with critical headwaters as ‘headwater guardians.’ The DEP will develop a process to identify these critical headwaters, considering factors like water quality and location, and then designate municipalities where they are found. The bill also mandates that the DEP assess whether environmental protections, such as stormwater management rules, are needed to safeguard these headwaters and requires regular reporting on the program’s progress and outcomes.
