Green Stormwater Infrastructure Study for the Newton Creek Watershed (Camden County, NJ)

In this highly developed watershed, the water quality is impaired as is typical of streams in many older communities. DRN and project partners are providing an assessment of existing green stormwater infrastructure as well as recommended improvements and locations for those improvements. This is being followed by outreach to the county, municipalities and residents to encourage adoption of additional green stormwater infrastructure improvements – often retrofit improvements because the watershed is virtually fully developed. DRN is working with the local watershed association and environmental groups during assessment and outreach, and is coordinating this project with ongoing water quality monitoring. Funding provided by the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority.
