What Is Stormwater Management?
Fluvial and Flannery Frog
The Township of Upper St. Clair is pleased to announce that Fluvial and Flannery Frog will be joining the team to help prevent pollution in our streams. These frogs will play a major role in eliminating pollution of our streams, which eventually heads down to the rivers. It only takes one individual to pollute the stream. Please do your part in making Upper St. Clair a more environment friendly community.
Fluvial got his name from the term "fluvial geomorphology", which means living in a stream or river. 
Flannery got her name from the Irish word for "flat land".
Watch closely for updates on ways you can assist our Stormwater Mascots in stopping pollution in our community.
Stormwater management involves the control of water that runs off the surface of the land from rain or melting ice or snow. The volume, or amount of runoff and its rate of runoff, substantially increases as land development occurs. Construction of impervious surfaces, such as roofs and parking lots, and the installation of storm sewer pipes which efficiently collect and discharge runoff, prevent infiltration of rainfall into the soil.
Management of stormwater is necessary to compensate for the possible impacts of development such as flooding, erosion and sedimentation problems, concentration on flow on adjacent properties, damages to roads, bridges and other infrastructure as well as non-point source pollution washed off from impervious surfaces.
