About the Environmental Commission

The Stillwater Township Environmental Commission is a nine-member (seven regular; two alternate members) 3-year term board that was established to promote the conservation and development of the Township’s natural resources, to provide the impetus and take leadership in natural resources planning and to inform the public about local conservation programs and the need for conserving the natural resources of the Township.

The nine-member board meets on a monthly basis (second Monday of each month) at 7pm at the Municipal Building. The Commission maintains records of its meetings and activities and provides an annual report to the Township Committee.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT: WHAT IS STORMWATER POLLUTION?

​Water from rain and melting snow that flows over lawns, parking lots and streets is known as stormwater runoff. This water, which travels along gutters, into catch basins and through storm drain pipes and ditches, usually is not treated, but then flows or is discharged into local waterbodies.  Along the way, the stormwater picks up trash (fast-food wrappers, cigarette butts, Styrofoam cups, etc.) and toxins and other pollutants (gas, motor oil, antifreeze, fertilizers, pesticides and pet droppings).  The polluted stormwater can kill fish and other wildlife, destroy wildlife habitat, contaminate drinking water sources and force the closing of beaches because of health threat to swimmers.

Human activity is largely responsible for stormwater pollution.  Everything that we put on the ground or into the storm drain can end up in our water.  Each of us has a responsibility to make sure these contaminants stay out of our water.
