Stormwater Management
Stormwater is the runoff produced by precipitation, snow melt, or ice melt. In recent years, Federal and State regulations have mandated stricter and more comprehensive procedures for managing on-site stormwater runoff resulting from construction and/or earth disturbance activities. These procedures are an effort to minimize stormwater runoff volume and rate, as well as curtail the resulting erosion, while promoting water quality and retention. Regardless of the nature of previously-existing stormwater ordinances, Pennsylvania municipalities have been directed to align their laws to reflect substantially more rigorous stormwater management practices.
