New Jersey S2107 mandates flood control measures for reservoirs with a history of flooding, including studies, flood action plans, and reservoir.
New Jersey S2107 requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to identify reservoirs with a documented record of flooding. For these reservoirs, the DEP must study downstream river or stream capacity, water storage capacity, and water usage needs of the served residents and businesses. The DEP must also adopt rules and regulations to set maximum water levels for each reservoir, balancing flood protection and water supply. Owners of reservoirs with a documented record of flooding must prepare and implement a flood action plan approved by the DEP.
