The Increase in the Total Maximum Daily Loads deemed acceptable by the US EPA requirements has effected the environmental quality of local streams in the three Abington Township watersheds and impacts downstream communities as Abington holds the headwater tributaries for all three watersheds. The Sandy Run Creek stream bed erosion is considerable.On April 11, 2019 the Abington Township Board of Commissioners approved a bid of $146,000 to Wood Environment and Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. to prepare the Abington Township Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan by 3/3/2020 and including hydraulic models for 3 priority flood prone areas and to assess Is the Township's current stormwater management program is adequate to meet future regulatory and environmental challenges.
