Elk County
Act 167 Stormwater Management Planning

Elk County has engaged L.R. Kimball to assist in developing a comprehensive county-wide stormwater management plan that meets the requirements of Pennsylvania Act 167 and that also helps ensure the health and safety of the county’s residents.

Purpose:
