MS4 – WHAT’S THAT AND WHAT’S IT GOT TO DO WITH ME?
MS4 is the abbreviation for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems. This is a term for the retention basins, ditches, roadside inlets and underground pipes that carry stormwater through properties and under roads and discharge it, without treatment, into local streams and rivers. It is not connected to the sanitary sewer system which drains waste water from inside a home to a sewage treatment facility or a private septic system.
Stormwater in Hamilton Township, Franklin County, discharges to portions of Rocky Spring Branch, Back Creek and Conococheague Creek, all of which are tributary to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This watershed has been identified as impaired by siltation and nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen).
The PA Department of Environmental Protection has required many municipalities across the state to reduce siltation and nutrients by a minimum of 10%. While there are large projects that Hamilton Township can undertake to help in reaching this goal, there are many simple things that home owners can do too.
Keep following our articles in this section to learn how you can do your part in improving the storm water in Hamilton Township, Franklin County.
