Stormwater Management

Hummelstown Borough implements the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for our Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) as part of the Federal Phase II Stormwater Management Program. Hummelstown Borough has adopted the DEP protocols via the Notice of Intent (NOI) to operate under the PAG-13 General NPDES Permit and has been issued NPDES Permit No. PAG133556, Authorization ID No. 942099.

 

DEP’s protocols include six Minimum Control Measures (MCM’s) and a variety of Best Management Practices (BMP’s), designed to: reduce the discharge of pollutants from MS4s (to the maximum extent practicable), to protect water quality, and to satisfy the requirements of the Federal Clean Water Act. The six MCM’s are: 

1. Public Education & Outreach Control Measures.
2. Public Participation & Involvement Control Measures.
3. Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination Control Measures. To report an illicit discharge, click here for the form.
4. Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Measures.
5. Post Construction Stormwater Management in New Development & Redevelopment Control Measures.
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations & Maintenance Control Measures.
