What is stormwater?
\nAnswer: Stormwater is water from precipitation such as rain,\u00a0sleet, or melting snow.<\/p>\n

What does stormwater have to do with Abandoned Mines?
\nAnswer: Surface abandoned mine features such as strip pits, subsidence areas and mine entrances can convey water directly underground filling up mine pools and discharging as polluted water to our rivers and streams. \u00a0Repairing these “holes” can reduce resulting pollution to streams.<\/p>\n

What is stormwater management?
\nAnswer: Stormwater management involves the control of\u00a0\u201crun off\u201d from precipitation<\/p>\n

What is an MS4?
\nAnswer: Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems within Urbanized Areas that essentially collect stormwater for a given Municipal Area. \u00a0For a list of MS4 in Pennsylvania, please use this link:\u00a0Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) within Urbanized Areas in Pennsylvania<\/a><\/p>\n

Why is stormwater management important?
\nAnswer: Stormwater management is important to prevent\u00a0physical damage to persons and property from flooding and to maintain\u00a0the ecological integrity, quality and quantity of our water resources. \u00a0Stormwater can also be considered a resource that provides benefits such\u00a0as groundwater recharge and flood protection. \u00a0Stormwater management\u00a0also assists with the reduction and prevention of many different sources of\u00a0pollution, which enter local waterways. \u00a0Stormwater management can provide economic benefits to local\u00a0communities as well. Proper management can result in reduced costs\u00a0and\/or fees for remediation of adverse impacts to stream channels, water\u00a0quality, property damage and loss of life created by increased stormwater\u00a0runoff.<\/p>\n

Stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces is now recognized as a\u00a0leading cause of impairment to our shared water resources. \u00a0Studies\u00a0conducted across the continent have shown that detectable degradation of\u00a0streams, rivers and reservoirs begins with as little as 10% of a watershed\u00a0being covered with impervious surfaces. \u00a0While federal and state policies\u00a0drive stormwater management, the ultimate responsibility lies with\u00a0municipal officials.<\/p>\n

EPCAMR worked with the Pocono Northeast Resource Conservation and Development Council \u00a0to produce a \u00a0Stormwater_Handbook<\/a>\u00a0for Municipal Planning. \u00a0The handbook provides\u00a0information that municipalities will\u00a0need to address serious issues concerning stormwater management. This\u00a0publication is not intended to be a legal document or an all-inclusive\u00a0informational manual. This handbook is intended to provide information\u00a0in an easy-to-use format on stormwater management and as a reference\u00a0guide to assist municipalities and local communities.<\/p>\n
