Specific terms. Other terms or words used in this chapter are defined
as follows:
American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials.
Allegheny County Conservation District.
The removal of the surface of the land through the combined
action of human activities and natural processes at a rate greater
than would occur because of the natural process alone.
Allegheny County Health Department.
The Stormwater Management Act (Act of October 4, 1978, P.L.
864 No. 167; 32 P.S. §§ 680.1 through 680.17, as amended).
The plan for managing stormwater runoff throughout a designated
watershed adopted by Allegheny County as required by the Pennsylvania
Storm Water Management Act (Act 167).[1]
The work of producing crops, including tillage, land clearing,
plowing, disking, harrowing, planting, harvesting crops, or pasturing
and raising of livestock and installation of conservation measures.
Construction of new buildings or impervious area is not considered
an agricultural activity.
A landowner, developer, or person, as hereinafter defined,
including heirs, successors, and assigns, who has filed an application
to the Municipality for approval to engage in any regulated activity
at a project site in the Municipality.
Every application, whether preliminary or final, required
to be filed and approved prior to start of construction or development
for the approval of a subdivision plat or plan, or for the approval
of a development plan.
To reduce the magnitude of the flow rate by increasing the
time it takes to release a specified volume of runoff (for example
the one year, twenty-four-hour storm event). "Attenuation" is a method
of reducing the peak flow rates for post-development compared to the
peak flow rates in predevelopment.
Portion of stream discharge derived from groundwater; the
sustained discharge that does not result from direct runoff or from
water diversions, reservoir releases, piped discharges, or other human
activities.
Activities, facilities, designs, measures, or procedures
used to manage stormwater impacts from regulated activities, to meet
state water quality requirements, to promote groundwater recharge,
and to otherwise meet the purposes of this chapter. Stormwater BMPs
are commonly grouped into one of two broad categories or measures:
structural or nonstructural. In this chapter, "nonstructural" BMPs
or measures refer to operational and/or behavior-related practices
that attempt to minimize the contact of pollutants with stormwater
runoff, whereas "structural" BMPs or measures are those that consist
of a physical device or practice that is installed to capture and
treat stormwater runoff. Structural BMPs include, but are not limited
to, a wide variety of practices and devices, from large-scale retention
ponds and constructed wetlands to small-scale underground treatment
systems, infiltration facilities, filter strips, low-impact design,
bioretention, wet ponds, permeable paving, grassed swales, riparian
or forested buffers, sand filters, detention basins, and manufactured
devices. Structural stormwater BMPs are permanent appurtenances to
the project site.
Cubic feet per second.
A perceptible natural or artificial waterway which periodically
or continuously contains moving water or which forms a connecting
link between two bodies of water. It has a defined bed and banks which
confine the water.
A series of holistic land development design practices that
maximize protection of key land and environmental resources, preserve
significant concentrations of open space and greenways, evaluate and
maintain site hydrology, and ensure flexibility in development design
to meet community needs for complementary and aesthetically pleasing
development. Conservation design encompasses the following objectives:
conservation/enhancement of natural resources, wildlife habitat, biodiversity
corridors and greenways (interconnected open space); minimization
of environmental impact resulting from a change in land use (minimum
disturbance, minimum maintenance); maintenance of a balanced water
budget by making use of site characteristics and infiltration; incorporation
of unique natural, scenic and historic site features into the configuration
of the development; preservation of the integral characteristics of
the site as viewed from adjoining roads; and reduction in maintenance
required for stormwater management practices. Such objectives can
be met on a site through an integrated development process that respects
natural site conditions and attempts, to the maximum extent possible,
to replicate or improve the natural hydrology of a site.
A conservation district, as defined in Section 3(c) of the
Conservation District Law [3 P.S. § 851(c)], which has the
authority under a delegation agreement executed with PADEP to administer

to infiltrate, evapotranspire, or reuse stormwater on the site where
it is generated.

runoff, with concentrations of pollutants in excess of those typically
found in stormwater.

the drainage system.
Infiltration rates of soils vary widely and are affected
by subsurface permeability as well as surface intake rates. Soils
are classified into four HSGs (A, B, C, and D) according to their
minimum infiltration rate, which is obtained for bare soil after prolonged
wetting. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of the
US Department of Agriculture defines the four groups and provides
a list of most of the soils in the United States and their group classification.
The soils in the area of the development site may be identified from
a soil survey report that can be obtained from local NRCS offices
or conservation district offices. Soils become less pervious as the
HSG varies from A to D.

effects of water on the Earth's surface, soil and atmosphere.
See "impervious surface."

a layer of material so that it prevents the infiltration of water
into the ground. Impervious surfaces (areas) shall include semipervious
surfaces such as compacted clayey soils, as well as most conventionally
surfaced streets, roofs, sidewalks, parking lots, and other similar
surfaces. "Net increase of impervious surface" refers to the difference

by plant roots, evaporated into the atmosphere, or percolates downward
to recharge groundwater.

a portion of the year, as groundwater levels drop below the channel
bottom.
DCNR defines "invasive plants" as those species that are
not native to the state, grow aggressively, and spread and displace
native vegetation. (See http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/cs/groups/public/documents/document/dcnr_010314.pdf

flows from occurring and to spread out stormwater runoff uniformly
over the ground as sheet flow.
The total amount (generally measured in pounds or kilograms
per acre per year) of material (sediment, nutrients, oxygen-demanding

other sources over a specific period of time (often annually).
Site design approaches and small-scale stormwater management
practices that promote the use of natural systems for infiltration,
evapotranspiration, and reuse of rainwater. LID can be applied to
new development, urban retrofits, and revitalization projects. LID
utilizes design techniques that infiltrate, filter, evaporate, and
store runoff close to its source. Rather than rely on costly large-scale

in a pond or depression; examples include systems which discharge
by percolation to groundwater, exfiltration, and/or evaporation processes
and which generally have residence times of less than three days.
An impoundment designed to collect and retard stormwater
runoff by temporarily storing the runoff and releasing it at a predetermined
rate. Retention basins may also be designed to permanently retain
additional stormwater runoff. Retention basins are designed to retain
a permanent pool of water during dry weather.
The volume of runoff that is captured and not released directly
into the surface waters of this commonwealth during or after a storm
event.
