The Southwestern PA Commission Water Resource Center will host webinars in July, August and September on stormwater management and water infrastructure issues.
Attend this webinar to learn:
-- How an Act 167 Plan helps your county assess current and future stormwater conditions within the watershed
-- How to use that assessment to develop stormwater management standards, criteria, and provisions that minimize adverse impact from stormwater runoff (like flooding and pollution)
-- How those standards, criteria, and provisions are officially adopted
-- Proper protocol for updating existing Act 167 Plans per upcoming MS4 requirements

July 30 - Multiple Benefits
This webinar presentation will cover case studies from Pennsylvania and surrounding states that demonstrate innovative ways municipalities can go about achieving multiple community benefits while at the same time achieving pollutant reduction goals as part of MS4 mandates.

August 13 - Infrastructure Banks
Local government officials are increasingly listing infrastructure repair and replacement as a top priority for their community, but their budgets are being besieged by rising costs and federal mandates.
Attend this webinar to see how county officials across the state are using infrastructure banks to protect public safety and promote economic development in their communities.
You’ll hear real-world examples of how infrastructure banks are being used to:
-- Stretch limited dollars further and accomplish more projects
-- Provide both funding and project delivery support to municipalities that otherwise wouldn’t have the resources or staff to complete complex infrastructure improvements.
-- Target money to long-term, strategic planning goals for the region.
The webinar will be held from Noon to 1:00 p.m. Click Here to register.
September 8 -Asset Management
Millions of dollars are available in infrastructure grants, but the competition for funding is fierce. Successful applicants must:
-- Demonstrate why a project is necessary and how it will benefit the community.
-- Demonstrate they have a plan and the necessary resources to get the project built and maintain it so it lasts.
-- Find funding agencies and legislators that share their project goals and values.
Attend this webinar to learn:
-- What grant agency decision makers want to see in a winning proposal
-- How an asset management and capital improvement can be used to provide that information.
-- How to get started with asset management and capital improvement planning in your community.
