Properly managing stormwater is one of the most costly and complicated tasks we face today. The effort to meet the Federal and State Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program requirements presents challenges to state and local governments alike. As part of the Pennsylvania Resource Conservation and Development Council's project team, the Environmental Finance Center assisted in the evaluation of NPDES Phase II permit plans and associated costs of implementing those plans for six to eight Pennsylvania municipalities in the eastern Delaware County Council of Governments area. This evaluation was intended to compare expected compliance costs against actual costs and evaluate local capacity to meet MS4 requirements.
