Center For Water Quality Excellence Now Open Providing Info On Agricultural And Urban Stormwater Management

The Center for Water Quality Excellence is now open online to provide municipal officials; agricultural, forest, commercial, and institutional landowners; and agencies and organizations with the most comprehensive hub of information on both agricultural and urban stormwater management available in Pennsylvania.

An interactive Support Hub enables visitors to use a digital library of stormwater resources. 

After creating a log-in, visitors can ask and get answers to their specific questions and request a stormwater coach.  The site also offers a phone number for assistance.

The Center for Water Quality Excellence will open a brick-and-mortar space in mid-August in Columbia Borough, Lancaster County, for one-on-one consultations and workshops and other events. 

Because the center is currently a pilot program, operating in Lancaster and York counties, only those who live and work in the pilot area are eligible for one-on-one assistance. 

The Center for Water Quality Excellence is funded by the PA Investment Infrastructure Authority. Land Logics Group, an environmental consulting firm located in Camp Hill, Pa., is leading the pilot initiative. 

For more information, or if you’d like to suggest a resource to be included in the library, visit the Center for Water Quality Excellence website or email Pat Devlin at pdevlin@cwqe.org.
