About Us

Flooding, erosion, polluted waterways, economic loss : communities all across Pennsylvania are affected by stormwater runoff, but each must consider its own unique mix of local factors to put solutions in place. Regulatory requirements, desired level of development, quality of life issues, economics, and environmental considerations all come into play.

This site has been developed to help municipalities throughout the Commonwealth apply the most effective, proven techniques in stormwater management to their community's needs. In the long run, StormwaterPA will become an essential reference that provides case studies, resource materials, and no-nonsense guidance to municipal officials, planners, engineers, builders, and other interested parties—all derived from experts working around the state to implement stormwater best management practices that improve our environmental, economic, and public health.

The conceptual development of StormwaterPA was guided by a Core Advisory Team comprised of members of Cahill Associates, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Clean Water Action, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, and North Coventry Township. Dozens of individuals and organizations provided valuable input and support in the early stages and continue to make their materials, advice, and expertise available as the project continmues to evolve.    

StormwaterPA is an initiative of GreenTreks Network, Inc., a Philadelphia-based non-profit communications organization whose mission is moving people towards a more sustainable world.
