Act 167 requires counties to prepare and adopt a watershed stormwater management plan (Act 167 Plan) for each watershed located in the county in consultation with the municipalities located within each watershed.
Each county must periodically review and revise their Act 167 Plan at least every 5 years.
DEP is authorized to award grants to counties for reimbursement of costs in preparing and revising stormwater management plans when funds are appropriated by the General Assembly for this purpose.
To learn more about this program, visit DEP’s Act 167 Stormwater webpage.
Read the entire PA Bulletin notice for instructions on how to apply. Questions should be directed to: RA-EPPAMS4@pa.gov.
