Warwick Township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is home to growing commercial and light industrial development in northern Lancaster County. Facilities operating in the Conestoga River watershed must comply with PADEP’s NPDES industrial stormwater permit program — specifically the PAG-03 General Permit — which requires implementing and maintaining a comprehensive Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), conducting regular inspections, performing benchmark monitoring, and submitting semi-annual Discharge Monitoring Reports to PADEP.
USA Environmental Solutions provides industrial stormwater compliance services for facilities throughout Warwick Township and Lancaster County, helping operators meet all permit requirements and protect the Conestoga River watershed from industrial pollutants.
NPDES Industrial Stormwater Requirements in Warwick Township
Under Pennsylvania’s PAG-03 permit, industrial facilities in Warwick Township that discharge stormwater associated with industrial activity must develop and maintain a current SWPPP documenting site-specific pollution prevention measures, conduct quarterly visual assessments of stormwater discharge points, perform benchmark monitoring for parameters associated with their SIC code, train employees on stormwater pollution prevention procedures, and submit semi-annual DMRs to PADEP. The Lancaster County Conservation District actively monitors compliance in the Conestoga River watershed area, and PADEP conducts regular compliance inspections at permitted facilities throughout Lancaster County.
