The following report represents a compilation of four individual analyses that together provide a framework for the City of Scranton, Pennsylvania and the Scranton Sewer Authority (SSA) to move forward in implementing a more comprehensive stormwater program. The Environmental Finance Center worked closely with the City and SSA, along with the project partners, to complete a stormwater management and financial analysis that resulted in recommendations on how to implement a cost-effective and sustainable stormwater management program. Additionally, the Lackawanna River Corridor Association (LRCA) completed a sub-watershed inventory and analysis that included watershed and stream recommendations; McLane Associates completed a green infrastructure inventory and analysis that identifies a strategic approach to green infrastructure and highlights multiple project opportunities; and the LRCA and Hatala Associates focused on environmental education, outlining a strategy to implement a more robust public outreach and engagement campaign. The study was completed with funding from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation.
