The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has recently posted a new chapter to the NJ Stormwater BMP Manual. This chapter is 9.8 - Blue Roofs.
As with the revised and new chapters posted over the last few years, this new chapter incorporates the new format engineered to clarify design requirements, explain functionality, and illustrate the movement of stormwater through a particular BMP, along with new graphics, enhanced tables, simplified charts, and improved examples. All artwork was prepared by staff to reflect the current requirements and enhance the text with multiple views of key components.

Will Climate Change Revive an Old Idea: A Regional Coastal Commission
NJ Spotlight
Could climate change lead the state to embrace an idea it shunned more than three decades ago: creation of a coastal commission?
The prospect of establishing a strong regional entity to plan and adapt to the chronic flooding and rising sea levels expected to leave much of the Jersey coast vulnerable was floated yesterday at wide-ranging conference on the Shore of the Future at the War Memorial in Trenton.

Top 10 Accessories for Engineers
engineering.com
It's difficult to choose just ten essential accessories for engineers, partly because there are so many subfields of engineering. An essential item for one engineer may be completely useless for another.
So, I looked to the long-running BBC radio series, Desert Island Discs
for inspiration. In this program, guests (called "castaways") are asked to select eight albums, one book and one luxury item to take with them to a desert island. We'll stick with the desert island theme, but our ten items are going to be a bit more practical.

New Jersey colleges invest in STEM with new facilities
NJ.com
Investment in science, engineering, technology and mathematics (STEM) programs and facilities have grown exponentially in recent years as the job growth in this sector is expected to rise, and area universities have decided to make the investment into STEM students with state-of-the-art complexes. The College of New Jersey (TCNJ)and Hudson County Community College (HCCC) both opened new STEM facilities this fall, and both received grant funding to further STEM education.
Environmental Justice: The New Civil Rights?
NJ Spotlight
Calling it the civil rights issue of their time, environmental justice advocates yesterday backed a new bill to ensure low-income and minority communities have the tools to fight projects that increase pollution in their neighborhoods.
The legislation, to be introduced by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), aims to expand protections to communities burdened by developments that cause environmental problems and impact the health of residents.

From Recovery to Resilience
Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Sandy provided important lessons and warnings about the vulnerabilities of cities and towns prone to sea-level rise and flooding. Now the floods brought on by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria are sending the same messages.
When natural disasters strike, licensed professional engineers are vital to helping communities recover and rebuild. While ensuring that critical infrastructure is brought back online in a manner that protects the public health, safety, and welfare is a top priority, professional engineers are also focused on building resilience into their design solutions and practice for long-term safeguards.
PE
spoke to professional engineers who are focused on engineering resilience issues in local governments, higher education, and private practice.
