Hydraulic Impact Assessment or Groundwater Mounding Analysis is the estimation of the effects of infiltrating stormwater beneath an infiltration feature. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulates the control of stormwater through the New Jersey Stormwater Management Rule. (N.J.A.C. 7:8) Revisions to this rule were enacted in 2020 which includes the hydraulic assessment…Continue Reading
