Summary
Halifax Township's Stormwater Management Ordinance (No. 25-02-2025), enacted February 10, 2025, regulates all land development and earth disturbance activities that affect stormwater runoff within the township. Authorized under Pennsylvania's Storm Water Management Act (Act 167), it requires developers to prepare and obtain approval of a Stormwater Management Site Plan before commencing regulated activities, with standards for controlling both the volume and rate of post-development runoff. The ordinance establishes design criteria for drainage facilities, erosion and sediment controls, inspection schedules, maintenance responsibilities, and enforcement penalties, while encouraging low-impact development practices and groundwater recharge to protect water quality and prevent downstream flooding.
