Urban Stormwater Basics

This course was developed by Penn State Extension as an educational tool for employees of municipalities regulated by a MS4 NPDES permit. The learning modules included in this course will introduce the learner to the basic stormwater concepts necessary to understand how urban stormwater is managed and regulated in Pennsylvania and the role all municipal employees play in helping with that effort.

The educational material included within this course is not intended to serve as regulatory guidance. MS4 permittees seeking regulatory guidance should reference their MS4 NPDES permit and/or PADEP’s Municipal Stormwater website.
