Stormwater Management (MS4)

Regulations & Requirements

There is no doubt about it - stormwater management in Pennsylvania is a multi-layered, multijurisdictional, ever-changing quagmire of rules, regulations and requirements. The Borough of Sewickley is operating under the PAG-13 General NPDES Permit.  The stormwater management ordinance is #1335.  Additions less than 5,000 square feet must comply with PA Dry Wells approved by DEP.
