WHAT IS MS4?
The Borough of West Hazleton is required to obtain a stormwater discharge permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) from the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). This permit allows the Borough to operate their storm sewer system, called a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The permit requires the Borough to take certain steps to ensure that the stormwater is properly managed and controlled. The permit also requires that the Borough educate the public about storm water impacts and provide opportunities for the public to get involved and participate in program events.
