water.rutgers.edu WATER RESOURCES PROGRAM The Water Resources Program is one of many specialty programs under Rutgers Cooperative Extension (RCE). The goal of the RCE Water Resources Program is to provide solutions for the water quality and quantity issues that New Jersey faces today. This is accomplished through research, project development, assessment, and extension. In addition to preparing and distributing Fact Sheets, we provide educational programming in the form of lectures, seminars, and workshops as part of our outreach to citizens. With New Jersey Agriculture Experiment Station funding and other State and Federal sources, RCH we conduct research and demonstration projects that EA ES will ultimately be used by stakeholders to improve R and protect water resources in New Jersey.

The Green Infrastructure Initiative works to establish partnerships to provide targeted assistance to communities throughout New Jersey. Examples of our ongoing efforts, include: Sustainable South Bronx Training and Demonstration Projects Environmental Justice for the City of Newark CONTACT US: The Cooper River Stormwater Education & www water rutgers edu Implementation Plan Green Infrastructure for Camden water.rutgers.edu WHAT IS GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE?
Green infrastructure is an approach to wet weather management that is cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Green Infrastructure management approaches and technologies infiltrate, evapotranspire, capture and reuse stormwater to maintain or restore natural hydrologies. USEPA. 2009. Green Infrastructure Manual.
At the largest scale, the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features (such as forests, floodplains and wetlands) are critical components of green stormwater infrastructure. By protecting these ecologically sensitive areas, communities can improve water quality while providing wildlife habitat and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Green infrastructure design approaches effectively divert stormwater from the sewer system and direct it to areas where it can be infiltrated, evapotranspirated or re-used. Green infrastructure is designed to keep rainwater out of the sewer system so that it does not contribute to a sewer overflow and also to reduce the amount of untreated stormwater discharging to surface waters. These approaches are often referred to as “green infrastructure” because soil and vegetation are used instead of, or in addition to, pipes, pumps, storage tunnels, and other “hard infrastructure.” Rain Garden Installation South Bronx, NY

The RCE Water Resources Program in partnership with the Camden County Soil Conservation District is working to implement the Regional Stormwater Management Plan for the Cooper River Watershed. The Plan has identified opportunities for the implementation of stormwater best management practices and management strategies to reduce peak flows from high frequency storms. Priorities include targeting stakeholder groups who can take an active role in addressing impairments via small scale and grass-roots projects striving to demonstrate and evaluate effectiveness of rain garden educational programs at the watershed scale.
With funding provided through the NJDEP 319h grant program, the project will demonstrate and evaluate how rain garden educational programs can improve water quality and quantity within the Cooper River Watershed. Efforts are focused on three main objectives and will include the implementation of 50 rain gardens throughout the watershed:
• Implementing a Stormwater Management in Your School Yard program in at least three school systems. Providing the opportunity for students to apply their science, math, and communication skills to real-world environmental problems; • Educate stakeholders to install and manage rain gardens using the Stormwater Management In Your Backyard program; • Training New Jersey Landscape Professionals through a rain garden installation certification program and providing the industry leaders with the knowledge to offer rain garden installations to their clients.

water.rutgers.edu OVERVIEW
The Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority (CCMUA) in partnership with the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program proposes to pilot a community-based initiative implementing green infrastructure projects throughout the City of Camden and Gloucester City to reduce impacts to waterways and neighborhoods from combined sewer overflows, flooding, and sewer backups into private properties. The initial target will be to implement pilot rain garden and green infrastructure projects to prevent one (1) million gallons of stormwater from reaching the combined sewers in the City of Camden and Gloucester City. The program will include:
• Educating community leaders, businesses, and residents on the benefits and opportunities for green infrastructure projects; • Providing training to local contractors and residents on green infrastructure installation techniques; and • Establishing a network of community-based organizations to provide capacity for continual growth and expansion of the program.

The rain garden removes nonpoint source pollutants from stormwater runoff while recharging groundwater. A rain garden has two main goals.coarse Thesand first goal is to rriverserveiver rrocks oasck sa functional system to capture, filter, and infiltrate stormwater runoff at the source, and the second goal is to be an aesthetically pleasing garden. BUFFER Rain gardens are an important tool for communities and neighborhoods to create diverse, attractive landscapes while protecting the health of the natural environment.

The RCE Water Resources Program has partnered with the CCMUA to develop a community-based open space plan for the former fueling station located at the corner of Broadway and Chelton Avenue. The CCMUA is leading an effort with support from NJDEP to remediate this corner property and provide a “Green Gateway Entry” to the community of Waterfront South. The RCE Water Resources Program is preparing the conceptual design plan outlining recommended improvements for the property to serve as an open space amenity to the local community. This “Green Solution” will integrate rain gardens into the site to reduce stormwater discharges to the combined sewer system and protect water quality. The rain gardens will be constructed with support from local residents to serve as a demonstration for other neighborhoods throughout Camden on how cost-effective green infrastructure solutions can be integrated into parks and open spaces as well as reclaimed vacant and abandoned properties once demolition, debris removal, and clean up is completed. Including green infrastructure techniques and technologies as part of redevelopment programs in New Jersey’s urban communities provide multiple environmental benefits and can help local communities realize the potential of underutilized sites making them a true community amenity and resource for local residents.
