Not only the municipalities have to implement stormwater management plans. Any construction activity involving more than one acre is required to file a permit and have a stormwater management plan in place when the site plan is submitted to the Planning Board.

Construction Best Management Practices
- Minimizing land clearing to preserve natural vegetation and other natural features
- Managing clearing and grading in phases to minimize the amount of bare soil exposed at any given time
- Building and maintaining proper site entrances (to prevent sediment from being tracked onto streets and, ultimately, washed into storm sewers)
- Stabilizing steep slopes
- Installing sediment trapping devices and perimeter controls like silt fences and sediment basins
- Stabilizing areas as soon as possible after land-disturbing activities
