This Municipal Stormwater Forum is focused on providing municipalities with the information they need to achieve MS4 compliance and manage their stormwater operations and maintenance responsibilities. The 2021 forum is designed especially for municipal public works employees.

Participants will rotate between 4 locations in Lancaster County to learn about stormwater BMPs that municipal staff might need to design, install, or maintain to meet MS4 requirements.

A bagged lunch will be provided.

Participants will need to drive their own vehicles to the various stops (addresses, directions, and maps will be provided.

Participants will be asked to follow current Covid-19 masking and social distancing requirements.
