Harris Township’s MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) permit PAI34801 was renewed by PADEP with revisions effective July 1, 2020. Through the five-year permit cycle, Harris Township aims to reduce the sediments and nutrient discharges to local waterways from the census-defined urbanized area by 10 percent.
Harris Township and PADEP aim to accomplish this goal through a series of projects and educational opportunities. If you know of a target audience who would benefit from participating in a stormwater informational session, please contact the Township’s MS4 coordinator, Jere Northridge, and provide the contact information for your group. Past presentations have been made to SCASD students, public works employees, first responders, the construction industry, scouts, realtor groups, and Leadership Centre County. Future presentations will occur over the five year permit period. Presentations may require an alternate format relative to gathering guidelines in place at the time of the presentation.
Educational materials are also available through the Harris Township website (https://harristownship.org/resident-info/stormwater-information/) and the MS4 Partners website (ms4partners.org).
For more information or to inquire about a presentation, please contact the Harris & College Township MS4 Coordinator Jere Northridge at (814) 231-3024 or jnorthridge@collegetownship.org.
