Stefanie Williams Authors Article for NJLM Magazine
French & Parrello Associates (FPA) is thrilled to share that Stefanie Williams, PE has authored an article featured in the May issue of the NJLM Magazine. Her article is titled MS4 Permits: What New Jersey’s New Requirements Mean for Municipalities.
NJLM Magazine, the official publication of the New Jersey league of Municipalities, has been a trusted resource for local government leaders for more than a century. The magazine highlights emerging municipal initiatives, legislative updates, and practical insights relevant to public officials across New Jersey.
Ms. Williams’ article is one of the focus articles in the May Issue, exploring the significant changes introduced through New Jersey’s updated Tier A MS4 General Permit and what those changes mean for municipalities across the state. The piece explains how the revised regulations shift stormwater management from basic compliance measures to a more data-driven and proactive approach focused on improving water quality, reducing flooding, and strengthening long-term community resilience.
Throughout the article, Ms. Williams outlines the new statewide standards, the requirements for comprehensive stormwater infrastructure mapping, and the development of Watershed Improvement Plans (WIPs). She also discusses the practical challenges municipalities face, including staffing limitations, funding constraints, maintaining accurate GIS mapping systems, and coordinating efforts across departments and neighboring jurisdictions.
