An Act amending the act of October 4, 1978 (P.L.864, No.167), known as the Storm Water Management Act, further providing for powers and duties of the Department of Environmental Resources; repealing provisions relating to appropriations; and making editorial changes.

SB 204 amends Pennsylvania's 1978 Storm Water Management Act to update the Department of Environmental Resources to the Department of Environmental Protection and revise administrative references. It adds new requirements for the department to conduct annual water quality testing of surface waters, review watershed storm water plans with the Department of Community and Economic Development, and provide technical assistance to municipalities. The bill repeals outdated specific funding language from the original act that referenced a $500,000 appropriation for 1978-79. These changes directly affect the Department of Environmental Protection, municipalities, and counties responsible for implementing storm water management plans.
