The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection released new regulations in 2004 for controlling the discharge of pollutants into the state's waterways from stormwater drainage systems. As part of this regulatory process, all municipalities, counties, state, federal, and private authorities—including highway authorities—are required to map the location and condition of all stormwater outfalls located on their property. KS Engineers (KSE), headquartered in Newark, N.J., was awarded a contract by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority in late 2004 to visually inspect 2000 stormwa- ter outfalls and collect related geographic information system (GIS) data. Work commenced in early February 2005 along the mainline of the Turnpike from Milepost 0.0 to 50.0, and along the Garden State Parkway from Milepost 0.0 to 60.0. Trans-potek Engineers, based in Paramus, N.J., is working as a subconsultant to KSE.
