Act 167 - Pennsylvania's Storm Management Act
	The Storm Water Management Act was enacted in response to the impacts of accelerated storm water runoff resulting from land development in the state. It requires counties to prepare and adopt watershed-based storm water management plans and requires local governments to adopt and implement ordinances to regulate development consistent with these plans.
