West Hempfield Township, Pennsylvania

9 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 10 Munro acknowledges, “We have a stormwater municipal authority and it is very active in maintaining the stormwater flow to minimize erosion and maximize usable space. I would say that that is where most of the capital expenditure budget is going right now. We also have partners available to us including the Chesapeake Bay Alliance, the Lancaster County Conservation District and the Lancaster County Clean Water Consortium, as well as a handful of other private non-profit organizations that can help us in preserving the land, the creek beds, and the natural flow of the way the water and the ground and the land should be.” With an eye to the future, Stern says it best. “Our unofficial nickname is ‘West is Best’. I think our board agrees with that and we say it as often as we can.” PREFERRED VENDOR/ PARTNER n Benecon www.benecon.com
