Act 167 Stormwater Management Planning

Watershed Development


Watershed development:

a) increases rainfall runoff flows and velocities,

b) contributes to erosion and sedimentation in streams,

c) overtaxes the carrying capacity of streams and storm sewers,

d) increases the cost of public facilities to carry and control stormwater,

The Act 167 Plan’s resulting stormwater management ordinance will address chronic stormwater related problems in critical areas throughout the County, relieving the pressures of ever-growing watershed development in our community.
