Village of North Syracuse – Information Regarding MS4 Stormwater Coalition
The Village of North Syracuse is required to develop, implement, and enforce a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) which is designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) to protect water quality and to satisfy the appropriate water quality requirements of the Environmental Conservation Law and the Clean Water Act. According to the federal regulation, the SWMP consists of the following six minimum control measures:
- Public Education and Outreach
- Public Involvement and Participation
- Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
- Construction Site Runoff Control
- Post-Construction Runoff Control
- Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
The following documents are available upon request for public review and comment:
a. Stormwater Management Program Plan
b. Current Interim Progress Report
c. Current DRAFT Annual Report
d. Current Annual Report
To request access to these documents, please contact the Village Clerk at (315) 458-0900 ext. 129 or via email at Clerktreasurer@northsyracuseny.org.
Village residents are encouraged to review and comment on the SWMP and DRAFT Annual Report. DRAFT Annual Reports for the current reporting period are generally available by March 1st. Written comments can be e-mailed to the Clerk’s office at ClerkTreasurer@northsyracuseny.org
The Village is required to evaluate and update the SWMP on an annual basis. Residents are encouraged to participate in this process. For specific information or if you’d like to be involved in the Village’s program development and/or implementation, please contact the Code Enforcement Officer at (315) 458-4763 or via email at Codes@northsyracuseny.org.
