PUBLIC NOTICE You are invited to attend the Washington Township Supervisors Meeting scheduled for 7:00 pm on June 12, 2019 at Washington Township to discuss stormwater and the regulations for the MS-4 program as developed by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). DEP requires that municipalities adhere to specific guidelines for the management of stormwater. Municipalities are now required to obtain an MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) Permit. As part of this permit, each municipality is required to reduce the amount of pollutants found within the local watershed areas. These improvements include tree plantings, stormwater basin upgrades, and stream bank restoration. The improvements are designed to help reduce the amount of pollutants that reach the local streams, thus creating a healthier environment for the surrounding residents and wildlife. Topics to be discussed include the six general Minimum Control Measures and the Pollutant Reduction Plan. Thank you and we hope you can attend the meeting. Please RSVP via email to: Katie Purdue Township Planning & Zoning Secretary [email protected] Washington Township Municipal Meeting Room 1021 Washington Boulevard, Bangor, PA 18013 ![]() This Turkey Vulture was perched just a few feet from our office window Sunday morning.
