New York State Stormwater Permit regulations require towns like Lewisboro to implement programs and practices to control polluted stormwater runoff. The Town must take actions in to support six minimum measures:
- Public education and outreach on stormwater
- Public involvement and participation
- Illicit discharge detection and elimination
- Construction site stormwater runoff control
- Post construction stormwater management in new development and redevelopment
- Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for town operations
In December, 2007, Lewisboro passed two stormwater ordinances. Chapter 188,Storm Sewer System, addresses the detection and elimination of the illicit discharge of stormwater. Chapter 189 addresses stormwater management and sediment and erosion control. These ordinances are at the Town Code link https://ecode360.com
The Town Highway Superintendent is designated designated by the Town Board to enforce the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination code. You can find out more about illicit discharges by clicking on the tab on the left side of this page.
