Upper Darby Township, in response to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection Stormwater Management Program, as enacted by the 1987 Amendments to the Clean Water Act, have been diligently working to reduce the discharge of pollutants from outfalls, and to protect water quality in the receiving waterways. The Township's goals are to
1. Identify major outfalls and pollutant loadings
2. Detect and eliminate non-storm water discharges to the system
3. Reduce pollutants in runoff and control storm water discharges from areas within the Township
Educating and promoting public awareness on storm water impacts as well as, encouraging public participation to reduce pollutants into the storm sewers is an integral part of the Township's long-term plan.
