MS4 Stormwater Outreach & Training Meeting

On December 7, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 12-21 that expanded the stormwater credit program to include a credit for properties that have an approved USDA/NRCS Conservation Plan. The Resolution also offered the ability to appeal impervious areas that are qualified Agricultural Best Management Practice Plans as recommended by the Beaver County Conservation District or USDA/NRCS.

On Thursday, February 17, 2022 New Sewickley Township in conjunction with the Beaver County Conservation District (BCCD) held a MS4 Outreach and Training Meeting to offer assistance in applying for Stormwater Fee credits for residential and agricultural properties with more than 10 acres of land.

Items discussed included how the BCCD can assistance property owners with their Erosion and Sediment (E&S) Control Plans, Nutrient and Manure Plans, and other federal and state programs that offer assistance to agricultural properties. A breakout session took place that offered assistance on Forest Management Plans also.
