A brief description of the institution's stormwater management initiatives:
The WCU campus is entirely within the Chester County Conservation District (CCCD) and is subject to the stormwater regulations of the CCCD. These are stringent, and their application to new construction projects, major renovations, and other projects that significantly change the campus grounds, ensures mitigation of the impacts of stormwater runoff.
At present the University’s projects are permitted as phases under an “umbrella permit” that was established when the EO Bull renovations and Additions project received its permit.
