The City of McKeesport Stormwater Management Plan is a program of stormwater mitigation actions for the City of McKeesport based on the guidelines established under the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) stormwater management program by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Phase II Rule.

EPA requires that MS4 Phase II owners/operators reduce pollutants in stormwater to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) to protect water quality. The regulations specify that compliance with the MEP requirement can be attained by developing a stormwater management plan that addresses the following six minimum control measures:
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) offers educational information and resources to the Commonwealth's residents and businesses online.
