Storm Water Management Plans - work in progress |
| The LVPC, on behalf of Lehigh and Northampton counties, has secured a five-year contract with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to update the Act 167 Storm Water Management Plans within the two counties. Act 167 Plans have been prepared by the LVPC for 12 watersheds in the two counties beginning back in 1988 with the original Little Lehigh Creek plan. Plans for the eleven other watersheds were created over the period of 1989 to 1999. The Act 167 process requires periodic updates of plans. All of the watershed plans or plan updates created under the contract will require input by the involved municipalities. Watershed Plan Advisory Committees will be created by the LVPC and counties to assist in preparing the plans. Each new plan or plan update will also require adoption by the appropriate county(ies) and Approval by DEP. Municipalities in the two counties will ultimately be required to adopt ordinances to implement the adopted and approved Act 167 plans or plan updates. |
