As part of the Municipal Stormwater Permit (MS4), the Township is improving stormwater infrastructure to provide water quality benefits by promoting pollutant removal through sedimentation and reducing flooding and erosion for residents and businesses in Gloucester Township. New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust monies will be utilized to accomplish the required remediation. The construction of upgrades and improvements anticipated in 2018 include the following projects in Gloucester Township, Camden County:
