7. The Lake Hopatcong Commission shall, in conjunction with each Lake Hopatcong municipality, develop a stormwater and nonpoint source pollution management plan for the region. The stormwater management and nonpoint source pollution plan shall be designed to reduce siltation and prevent pollution caused by stormwater runoff or nonpoint sources that would otherwise degrade the water quality of Lake Hopatcong and its tributaries, interfere with water-based recreation, or adversely affect aquatic life.
The goals and purposes of the plan shall be to improve the quality of stormwater runoff entering Lake Hopatcong, identify cost effective measures to control stormwater runoff and nonpoint source pollution, and identify funding mechanisms for implementation of such measures. The commission shall consult with the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council, established pursuant to section 4 of P.L.2004, c.120 (C.13:20-4), in developing the stormwater and nonpoint source pollution management plan pursuant to this section.
Any plan developed pursuant to this section that may impact upon or otherwise affect the Highlands preservation area, as defined in section 3 of P.L.2004, c.120 (C.13:20-3), shall be consistent with the Highlands regional master plan adopted by the council pursuant to section 8 of that act.
