Source: docs/reports/1_Regulatory_Audit_Report.md
| Claim | Line | Statement | Original sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| RPT01-C0009 | 7 | This report compares the July 17, 2023 and January 20, 2026 editions of N.J.A.C. 7:8. The January amendments add a volumetric-reduction standard and change reconstruction, combined-area, water-quality and public-transportation provisions. Several familiar design values remain unchanged. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 6,35-43,47 |
| RPT01-C0014 | 13 | Both editions contain six subchapters: | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 1-2 |
| RPT01-C0015 | 15 | 1. General Provisions | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 1-2 |
| RPT01-C0016 | 16 | 2. General Requirements for Stormwater Management Planning | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 1-2 |
| RPT01-C0017 | 17 | 3. Regional Stormwater Management Planning | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 1-2 |
| RPT01-C0018 | 18 | 4. Municipal Stormwater Management Planning | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 1-2 |
| RPT01-C0019 | 19 | 5. Design and Performance Standards for Stormwater Management Measures | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 1-2 |
| RPT01-C0020 | 22 | The subchapter structure is unchanged. January 2026 adds §5.6(d), the volumetric-reduction standard, and §5.10, Departmental variance. Basin safety remains a separate part of the rule, including trash racks, overflow grates and escape provisions. July contents, pp. 2–3; January contents, pp. 1–2. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 6,35-43,47 |
| RPT01-C0030 | 32 | Both editions define green infrastructure through infiltration, filtration by vegetation or soil, and storage for reuse. They already distinguish GI and non-GI practices. January's volumetric-reduction requirement adds a separate design obligation; it does not turn GI into a new retention-only definition. | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_11_3_Manufactured_Treatment_Devices.pdf p. 1, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_14_Volumetric_Reductions_Standards.pdf p. 1 |
| RPT01-C0033 | 36 | The chapter families also predate January 2026: | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_11_3_Manufactured_Treatment_Devices.pdf p. 1, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_11_3_Non_GI_Manufactured_Treatment_Devices.pdf p. 1, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_11_6_Wet_Ponds.pdf p. 1 |
| RPT01-C0035 | 41 | | Non-GI manufactured treatment devices | Chapter 11.3 | Chapter 11.3 | | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_11_3_Manufactured_Treatment_Devices.pdf p. 1, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_11_3_Non_GI_Manufactured_Treatment_Devices.pdf p. 1 |
| RPT01-C0036 | 43 | | Non-GI wet ponds | Chapter 11.6 | Chapter 11.6 | | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_11_6_Wet_Ponds.pdf p. 1, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_11_6_Wet_Ponds_Non_GI.pdf p. 1 |
| RPT01-C0037 | 40 | | Bioretention | Small-scale Chapter 9.7 and Chapter 10.1 | Same split and Bioretention Systems (Large-Scale) title | | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_10_1_Bioretention_Systems.pdf p. 1, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_10.1_LargeScale_Bioretention_Systems.pdf p. 1 |
| RPT01-C0038 | 42 | | Sand filters with underdrains | Chapter 11.4, non-GI | Chapter 11.4, non-GI | | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_11_4_Sand_Filters.pdf p. 1, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_11.4_Sand_Filters_With_Underdrain.pdf p. 1 |
| RPT01-C0041 | 26 | The individual one-acre disturbance and quarter-acre regulated-impervious and regulated-motor-vehicle thresholds continue. January 2026 adds reconstruction of at least 0.25 acre of motor-vehicle or impervious surface and expands the combined-area test to include reconstruction. Apply each definition's stated accrual dates, count overlapping surfaces only once, and aggregate developments that are part of a common plan of development or sale. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 6 |
| RPT01-C0052 | 49 | The July 2023 rule already uses regulated motor-vehicle surface as its runoff-quality trigger. January 2026 additionally addresses reconstruction of motor-vehicle surface and its associated treatment obligations. The February 2004 Chapter 4 in the older manual collection uses earlier impervious-surface terminology; that chapter does not replace the July 2023 rule. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 38-39 |
| RPT01-C0061 | 61 | Use the pre-construction assumptions in §5.7 for the selected method. The woods/good presumption may be replaced only by the documented uninterrupted five-year condition allowed by the rule; if multiple qualifying covers existed, use the one producing the lowest runoff. Do not substitute those assumptions for the distinct reference condition used in the volumetric-reduction alternative. January §5.7, pp. 43–44. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 43-44 |
| RPT01-C0062 | 63 | Design permeability is derived from the governing tested rate with a factor of safety of 2, subject to the applicable practice's minimum and maximum design rates. A tested rate and a design rate are different quantities. Chapter 12 lists recognized in-situ methods, including percolation, tube permeameter, single-ring, basin-flooding and ASTM D3385 double-ring testing. ASTM D5126 is not identified as the governing method in this chapter. The Chapter 12 copy in both collections is printed March 2024, so it does not establish the exact July 2023 historical chapter. Chapter 12, pp. 27–29. | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_6_Groundwater_Recharge.pdf p. 17, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_13_Groundwater_Mounding_Analysis.pdf p. 4, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_12_Soil_Testing_Criteria.pdf p. 27, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_12_Soil_Testing_Criteria.pdf p. 29 |
| RPT01-C0063 | 65 | Whenever the design includes infiltration into subsoil, assess hydraulic impacts under §5.2(h) and Chapter 13. There is no standalone 2.99 in/hr rule trigger. Determine whether mounding interferes with the BMP, nearby structures or other protected uses; redesign or relocate where adverse impacts arise. January §5.2(h), p. 33; Chapter 13, pp. 1–5. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 33, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_9_8_Small_Scale_Infiltration_Basins.pdf p. 24 |
| RPT01-C0065 | 69 | Both editions use current and projected two-, 10- and 100-year storms. One permitted pathway in §5.6(b)3 limits post-construction peak rates to 50%, 75% and 80%, respectively, of pre-construction rates. Apply the pathway's scope and developed-area conditions; the rule also provides other quantity demonstrations. January §5.6(b)2i adds conditioned relief from downstream analysis, not a universal exemption. July §5.6, pp. 42–43; January §5.6, pp. 41–43. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 41-43 |
| RPT01-C0072 | 63 | Design permeability is derived from the governing tested rate with a factor of safety of 2, subject to the applicable practice's minimum and maximum design rates. A tested rate and a design rate are different quantities. Chapter 12 lists recognized in-situ methods, including percolation, tube permeameter, single-ring, basin-flooding and ASTM D3385 double-ring testing. ASTM D5126 is not identified as the governing method in this chapter. The Chapter 12 copy in both collections is printed March 2024, so it does not establish the exact July 2023 historical chapter. Chapter 12, pp. 27–29. | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_6_Groundwater_Recharge.pdf p. 17, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_13_Groundwater_Mounding_Analysis.pdf p. 4, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_12_Soil_Testing_Criteria.pdf p. 27, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_12_Soil_Testing_Criteria.pdf p. 29 |
| RPT01-C0076 | 71 | County rainfall factors are unchanged between these editions. Use NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall with the appropriate current adjustment or future change factor; do not multiply the projected factor by the current factor a second time. Bergen's future factors are 1.20, 1.23 and 1.37 for the two-, 10- and 100-year storms in both editions. July Tables 5-5 and 5-6, pp. 45–46; January tables, pp. 44–46. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 44-46 |
| RPT01-C0096 | 45 | Small-scale bioretention retains its 2.5-acre contributory drainage-area limit. Neither a new one-acre dividing line nor a newly created large-scale chapter describes this comparison. Earlier Chapter 9.7, p. 1; January Chapter 9.7, p. 1; earlier Chapter 10.1; January Chapter 10.1. | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_9_7_Small_Scale_Bioretention_Systems.pdf p. 3, NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 33, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_10_1_Bioretention_Systems.pdf p. 1, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_10.1_LargeScale_Bioretention_Systems.pdf p. 1 |
| RPT01-C0143 | 97 | | Bioretention scale | Existing 2.5-acre small-scale limit and large-scale chapter | Same limit, split and large-scale chapter title | | BMP_2023/2023_BMP_9_7_Small_Scale_Bioretention_Systems.pdf p. 3, NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 33, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_10_1_Bioretention_Systems.pdf p. 1, BMP_2026/2026_BMP_10.1_LargeScale_Bioretention_Systems.pdf p. 1 |
| RPT01-C0148 | 65 | Whenever the design includes infiltration into subsoil, assess hydraulic impacts under §5.2(h) and Chapter 13. There is no standalone 2.99 in/hr rule trigger. Determine whether mounding interferes with the BMP, nearby structures or other protected uses; redesign or relocate where adverse impacts arise. January §5.2(h), p. 33; Chapter 13, pp. 1–5. | NJAC_2026/njac7_8_OCR.pdf p. 33, BMP_2023/2023_BMP_9_8_Small_Scale_Infiltration_Basins.pdf p. 24 |
