Home»MS4 Information

Stormwater RunoffLower Allen Township’s 2018 General MS4 Permit is effective from March 16, 2018 through March 15, 2023.  The Township is required to report annually to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP), since the entirety of the township is located within the urbanized area.  The Township will monitor the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and update it as necessary, including the Good Housekeeping Operation & Maintenance Program targeting Minimum Control Measure (MCM) #6. As part of the Township’s authorization to discharge runoff from the MS4 to surface waters of the Commonwealth, there are specific requirements that include pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations to improve water quality.
