This session was recorded on Nov. 4, 2021. Presentations were given by Kathy Hale, Principal Watershed Protection Specialist at NJ Water Supply Authority and Clay Emerson, Practice Area Lead at Princeton Hydro.

Many New Jersey towns experienced rapid development before the importance of green infrastructure in stormwater management was understood. As a result, detention basins are a common sight in our area. Naturalizing these basins can reduce sediment loading, improve water quality, improve groundwater recharge and provide habitat for pollinators. This session provided an overview of how to assess which basins are the best candidates for naturalization and what is required for construction and maintenance.
