Introduction to Act 167

The Pennsylvania Stormwater Management Act of 1978 (Act 167) required that within two years following the promulgation of guidelines by DEP, each county must prepare and adopt a watershed stormwater management plan (“Act 167 Plan”) for each watershed located in the county as designated by DEP, in consultation with the municipalities located within each watershed, and must periodically review and revise such plans at least every five years.

This training will provide guidance on what must be covered in an Act 167 Plan.
