Join The Watershed Institute on September 9, 2024, to get an in-depth understanding of the newly proposed NJPACT Resilient Environments and Landscapes (REAL) rules. As New Jersey faces escalating effects of climate change, including increased flooding and extreme heat, these rules are a critical step toward safeguarding our communities, businesses, and environment.
This webinar will break down the REAL reforms, highlighting how they will reshape land use, improve stormwater management, and enhance resilience against sea-level rise and severe weather. Don’t miss this chance to learn from experts about how these groundbreaking regulations will impact future development and protect New Jersey’s coastal and flood-prone areas. Equip yourself with the knowledge you need to navigate these changes and contribute to a more resilient future for our state.
You can learn more about the rules here: Resilient Environments And Landscapes (REAL). NJDEP has scheduled 3 public hearings:
