The purpose of the New Jersey Technical Assistance Program for Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Communities is to provide guidance, technical assistance, and resources to effectively implement and expand green infrastructure practices across New Jersey. The program seeks to empower municipal action teams and bring stakeholders together to address combined sewers, infrastructure needs, environmental justice, flooding, and water quality concerns. A number of obstacles continue to hinder CSO communities from pursuing green infrastructure including:
Since April 2014, this program has had a tremendous impact with tackling these barriers. Through our efforts, we have established strong relationships with communities and local partners throughout the state to pursue green infrastructure initiatives. Since 2014, the program has sought to address the following objectives:
Objective 1: Facilitate municipal action teams in CSO communities integrating them with the CSO long-term control plan
Objective 2: Green infrastructure planning and design support
Objective 3: Green infrastructure technical assistance
Objective 4: Regional information sharing
