- Approval of an Intergovernmental Project: The Lower Connoquenessing Watershed - Stormwater Planning Study
The Board is being asked this evening to consider approval of the Township's participation in the intergovernmental project entitled the Lower Connoquenessing Watershed - Stormwater Planning Study. This Study is between nine municipalities, those being the Boroughs of Zelienople, Harmony, Evans City, Mars and Seven Fields and the Townships of Jackson, Lancaster, Adams and Cranberry, and the County of Butler. Due to extraordinary flooding events that have occurred within the Connoquenessing Watershed in recent history, municipalities accept the fact that their stormwater practices have a regional impact. This study will provide updated stormwater release rates to determine if those rates could be managed to help reduce flooding. The study will also identify three significant physical improvement projects in each municipality that has the potential to provide relief during flooding events, along with the proposed costs of those improvements. Herbert, Rowland and Grubic, Inc. (HRG) will conduct the study with the County of Butler contributing 20% of the total cost of $76,380.00, with the balance being divided between nine municipalities. Cranberry Township's costs will be $8,147.20.
Motion to adopt Resolution No. 2020-____, approving participation in the Lower Connoquenessing Watershed Stormwater Planning Study in collaboration with 8 other municipalities and the County of Butler, at a cost of $8,147.20.
