Tour of Janssen Pharmaceutica in Titusville
On April 29th, the NJ-AWRA will have a field tour of Janssen Pharmaceutica in Titusville (Hopewell Township). We will have a sit down class first and then take a stroll to see the campus. This will be a "fun" event, but will give everyone an overview of smart corporate campus management and growth. We have limited the tour to about 30 people (requested by Janssen). Janssen not only has a Silver LEED-EB certification (in the pilot program): they are in the River Friendly program administered by Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, and have a 20 year master plan that goes beyond the new stormwater rules. A real case study for a business campus. We will feature water resources, water conservation, water management etc. But we will review the complete Green Building concept (PV cells on the roof: At the time of installation, the system was the largest commercial installation in NJ and the third largest in the US). To attend, email John A. Miller jmiller@princetonhydro.com.

administer the
regulations uniquely. This conference will encourage the sharing of
experiences
with the Phase II rules. New York and Pennsylvania are ahead by a year

their programs, but New Jersey has adopted new stormwater rules along
with the
Phase II program with more rigorous coverage.
