Dedication Ceremony of the Florence Township 9/11 MemorialIt’s hard to believe that over 16 years ago, this piece of steel, was part of something that forever changed our country and our way of living. All of us can remember where we were and what we were doing when we learned of the numerous attacks against our nation. Thank you to the Police, Firefighters and First Responders all over the nation that put their lives on the line to protect us and for those that paid the ultimate sacrifice trying to keep us safe. Thank you to all the men and women in all military branches who served or continue to serve and the ones that lost their lives so that we can continue to live free in this great nation...

Florence Township Annual Municipal Stormwater information

Dear Residents and Business Owners: As you may be aware, the State of New Jersey requires all municipalities to distribute certain information each year relating to the protection of our water resources and stormwater management. This letter will give you a basic overview and information about what Florence Township does to promote water protection and stormwater management in our community. Florence Township has several ordinances that relate to stormwater management and protection of our water resources. Chapter 123 of the Township Code regulates Pet Waste, Littering, Improper Disposal of Waste, Wildlife Feeding, Yard Waste, Refuse Containers, and Illicit Connections to storm collection systems. Littering is unlawful on public and private lands and this includes scattering of handbills, circulars and other forms of advertisement. Trash, tires and other items are regarded as waste and should be in enclosed containers with tight fitting lids that prevent spillage. The feeding of unconfined wildlife such as Canadian Geese, migratory birds or other large numbers of wildlife is prohibited. Dense wildlife numbers in the state have contributed to concerns of feces polluting streams, rivers, ponds and lakes. Even pet waste should be cleaned up immediately from public and private lands and disposed of properly. Illicit connections to stormwater collection systems are another concern that contributes to a multitude of pollutants of our waterways. Some types of illicit connections include: sewer or gray water discharge, floor drains in contaminated areas, unprotected yard or roof drains, etc. Chapter 91-75 and its corresponding sections of the Township Code address design standards for construction and public and private storm drain inlet retrofitting. The state and the township require that new construction or land development applications meet a series of tests to verify that each new project conforms to the latest best management practices for stormwater management and water protection. In addition, storm drain inlets are required to be retrofitted any time a qualifying work takes place on or near the inlet. You may be familiar with inlet retrofitting because you can see the smaller size of the openings on the grate and back portion of the inlet components. This smaller opening acts to prevent trash and debris from entering the stormwater system and finding its way to our rivers, lake and streams. For more information on the municipal code, stormwater management, and water protection measures, please visit the Florence Township Website at www.florence-nj.gov and click on the link for Stormwater Management under the Documents tab on the left side of the page. Thank you for taking the time to read this information and for your concern for the environment.
