Newark Best Management Practices for Green Technology

This rule establishes the definition that the City of Newark has adopted for green technology best management practices – Green technology best management practices (BMP’s): means those practices that achieve stormwater management objectives by applying the principles of filtration, infiltration and storage most often associated with natural vegetation and undisturbed soils while minimizing a reliance on structural components. They may also be constructed using an imported soil medium and planted with vegetation designed to promote the natural hydrologic process. These practices include, but are not limited to, vegetative filtration, riparian buffer plantings, bio-retention areas, vegetative flow conveyance, as well as recharge and surface storage in undisturbed natural areas
