Allegheny County Stormwater Management Plan and Ordinance
PA Stormwater Management Act 167
Enacted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, this act requires that counties put a plan in place that addresses the problems caused by stormwater runoff. It is a plan to both reduce the amount of stormwater runoff and improve the quality of stormwater runoff.
A County Wide Plan
In the final stages of development, Allegheny County has been developing a county wide Stormwater Management Plan and Ordinance with input from numerous Municipalities. A county wide plan will lead to more effective stormwater management.
Adopting the Plan
Each municipality must put practices outlined in the Allegheny County Stormwater Management Plan and Ordinance in place to guide construction activities. A municipality may adopt the Countywide Plan as it is, or create stricter guidelines for stormwater management.
