The Importance of Stormwater Management
Because every MS-4 faces unique stormwater challenges, each management plan is unique. But every stormwater management plan includes the same six focus areas that the EPA considers essential for success. These areas are called Minimum Control Measures (MCM) and include the following:
MCM #1 – Public Education and Outreach
MCM #2 – Public Participation and Involvement
MCM #3 – Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
MCM #4 – Construction Site Erosion Control
MCM #5 – Post Construction Stormwater Management
MCM #6 – Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
Public participation is key as we work together to identify sources of stormwater throughout our Township. As part of the Township’s efforts to increase public stormwater awareness, we have included a number of educational materials below for residents, business owners and visitors alike. These materials are designed to help our community understand the importance of stormwater management and how you can help make a difference in protecting our streams and wildlife.
