Sewage-Free Streets and Rivers

🎯📈🏆

In January, New Jersey passed a quiet yet long-awaited milestone in its journey toward cleaner and healthier waterways for all New Jerseyans. All combined sewer overflow Long-Term Control Plans (LTCPs) and the associated five-year permits have now been released and commented on. Six out of the seven regional plans have been finalized.

While the permit review process may have ended, the work does not end here. With the staggered release of the regional CSO permits completed, New Jersey has shifted to an implementation phase.

As SFSR continues to raise awareness and educate more people about CSOs and accountability in implementation, we also look forward to 2029, when the CSO permits will be up for renewal.

👥 The Big Takeaway: We Cannot Do This Alone! 🤝
