Act 167 Plan

The Poquessing Creek Watershed Act 167 Plan was completed in 2012 under the advisement of the Watershed Plan Advisory Committee. The main objective of the plan is to control stormwater runoff on a watershed basis rather than on a site-by-site basis, taking into account how development and land cover in one part of the watershed will affect stormwater runoff in all other parts of the watershed.
