The MS4 Permit Area
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PaDEP) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) developed the MS4 permit area boundary using 2000 census data and the boundary map can be seen on the lower left. The permit area does not include all of the lands within the State College Borough and College, Ferguson, Harris, and Patton Townships, which are shown overlain on the map to the left. The small area located outside the MS4 partner area is the State Correctional Facility at Rockview located in Benner Township. The Correctional Facility operates under an MS4 equivalency as coordinated between the PaDEP and Department of Homeland Security. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has its own permit that covers State roads. PaDEP updates the urbanized areas periodically, typically following each census. These periodic updates will then be coordinated with CBPRP updates by the Partners. The MS4 permit areas do not coincide with any watershed.
