Ch 152 Art II Definitions
§ 152-201 Interpretation.
§ 152-202 Definitions.
Chapter 152 Stormwater Management Article II Definitions
Activities associated with agriculture such as agricultural cultivation, agricultural operation, and animal heavy use areas. This includes the work of producing crops including tillage, plowing, disking, harrowing, planting or 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.
Engineering or site plans or drawings that document the actual locations, dimensions and elevations of the improvements, and building components, and changes made to the original design plans. The final version of these documents, or a copy of same, are signed and sealed by a qualified licensed professional and submitted to the municipality at the completion of the project, as per the requirements of § 152-502 of this chapter as "final as-built plans."
Activities, facilities, designs, measures, or procedures used to manage stormwater impacts from regulated activities, to provide water quality treatment, infiltration, volume reduction, and/or peak rate control, 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 site.
CARBONATE GEOLOGY or CARBONATE ROCK FORMATION
EARTH DISTURBANCE or EARTH DISTURBANCE ACTIVITY
1. (noun) A slope, usually of a road, channel, or natural ground, specified in percent and shown on plans as specified herein. 2. (verb) To finish the surface of a roadbed, the top of an embankment, or the bottom of an excavation.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) hydrologic runoff model.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) – Hydrologic Modeling System (HMS).
A surface that has been compacted or covered with a layer of material so that it prevents or is resistant to infiltration of water, including but not limited to structures such as roofs, buildings, storage sheds; other solid, paved or concrete areas such as streets, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, patios, decks, swimming pools, tennis or other paved courts; or athletic playfields comprised of synthetic turf materials. For the purposes of determining compliance with this chapter, compacted soils or stone surfaces used for vehicle parking and movement shall be considered impervious. Surfaces that were designed to allow infiltration (i.e., areas of porous pavement) will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the municipality, based on appropriate documentation and condition of the material, etc.
The lowest surface, the floor or bottom of a culvert, pipe, drain, sewer, channel, basin, BMP or orifice.
A Pennsylvania registered professional engineer, registered landscape architect, registered professional land surveyor, or registered professional geologist, or any person licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of State and qualified by law to perform the work required by the chapter within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System, the federal government's system for issuance of permits under the Clean Water Act,[2] which is delegated to PADEP in Pennsylvania.

PERVIOUS SURFACE or PERVIOUS AREA
The Planning Commission of Upper Uwchlan Township.
Any discernible, confined, and discrete conveyance including, but not limited to, any pipe, ditch, channel, tunnel, or conduit from which stormwater is or may be discharged, as defined in state regulations at 25 Pa. § 92.1.[3]
Any activity involving earth disturbance subject to regulation under 25 Pennsylvania Code Chapter 92a, Chapter 102, or the Clean Streams Law.[4]
The average interval, in years, within which a storm event of a given magnitude can be expected to occur one time. For example, the twenty-five-year-return-period rainfall would be expected to occur on average once every 25 years; or stated in another way, the probability of a twenty-five-year storm occurring in any one year is 0.04 (i.e., a four-percent chance).

The regulatory requirements to protect, maintain, reclaim, and restore water quality under Pennsylvania Code Title 25 and the Clean Streams Law.[6]
The plan prepared by the applicant or its representative, in accordance with the requirements of Article IV of this chapter, indicating how stormwater runoff will be managed at a particular site in accordance with this chapter, and including all necessary design drawings, calculations, supporting text, and documentation to demonstrate that chapter requirements have been met, herein referred to as "SWM site plan." All references in this chapter to "final" or "approved" SWM site plans shall incorporate the approved SWM site plan and all subsequent approved revisions thereto.
The division or redivision of a lot, tract, or parcel of land as defined in the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act of July 31, 1968, P.L. 805, No. 247 (as amended).[7]
