Barnegat Bay Green Infrastructure Project Named “Project of the Year”

Princeton Hydro is thrilled to announce that American Littoral Society’s Barnegat Bay Green Infrastructure Project has been named “Project of the Year” by The American Society of Civil Engineers Central Jersey Branch.

The award-winning project was a collaboration between the Littoral Society, Princeton Hydro and key partners that involved implementing a variety of green infrastructure stormwater management projects in order to decrease the volume of runoff and associated pollutants flowing into and damaging Barnegat Bay.

The green infrastructure projects were designed to treat stormwater at its source while delivering environmental, social and economic benefits to the Bay. Completed projects include:

• Conversion of standard, grassed detention basins into naturalized bio-retention basins, as exemplified by the Laurel Commons Carnation Circle Basin, which now serves as a paradigm for the cost-effective retrofitting of aged, traditional detention basins
• At Toms River High School North, the installation of tree boxes,
• At the Toms River Board of Education offices, the replacement of conventional paving with permeable pavement,
• At multiple sites, the construction of rain gardens,
• At Toms River High School North, the construction/installation of stormwater management Manufactured Treatment Devices (MTDs)
• At the Toms River Community Medical Center (RWJ Barnabas Health), the construction of a bio-retention/infiltration basin
