§ 170-23. Objectives.
In order to address the above-enumerated findings of fact, the Town Board intends to
achieve the following objectives:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
G.
Land development activities and associated increases in site impervious cover often alter
the hydrologic response of local watersheds and increase stormwater runoff rates and
volumes, flooding, stream channel erosion, or sediment transport and deposition;
This stormwater runoff contributes to increased quantities of water-borne
pollutants, including siltation of aquatic habitat for fish and other desirable species;
Clearing and grading during construction tends to increase soil erosion and add to the
loss of native vegetation necessary for terrestrial and aquatic habitat;
Improper design and construction of stormwater management practices can
increase the velocity of stormwater runoff thereby increasing stream bank erosion and
sedimentation;
Impervious surfaces allow less water to percolate into the soil, thereby decreasing
groundwater recharge and stream baseflow;
Substantial economic losses can result from these adverse impacts on the waters of the
Town of Huntington and the State of New York;
Stormwater runoff, soil erosion and nonpoint source pollution can be controlled and
minimized through the regulation of stormwater runoff from land development activities;
Regulation of land development activities by means of performance standards
governing stormwater management and site design will produce development
compatible with the natural functions of a particular site or an entire watershed and
thereby mitigate the adverse effects of erosion and sedimentation from
development.
H.
A.
Meet the requirements of minimum measures 4 and 5 of the SPDES General Permit for
Stormwater Discharges from Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer Systems (MS4s),
Permit No. GP-02-02, as amended or revised;
Require land development activities to conform to the substantive requirements of
the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation State Pollutant Discharge

The Problem with Stormwater
Stormwater is water from rain or melting snow that
doesn't soak into the ground but runs off into
waterways. As stormwater flows from rooftops, over
paved areas and lawns it picks up debris, chemicals,
motor oil, animal waste and other pollutants.
Stormwater can flow into a storm sewer system or
directly into a lake, stream, river or wetland,
potentially contaminating the water we use for
drinking, swimming and fishing. Polluted runoff is the
nation’s greatest threat to clean water.
Stormwater carries the residue of urban living. Toxic
chemicals from automobiles, sediment from
construction activities, bacteria from animal wastes
and careless application of pesticides and fertilizers
threaten the health of the waterway and can kill fish
and other aquatic life.
Stormwater Management
Stormwater management, especially in urban areas,
is becoming a necessary step in seeking reductions in
pollutants in our waterways and presents new
challenges. More often than not, end-of-pipe controls
are not the best answer for removing pollutants from
stormwater runoff. Pollutants in runoff enter our
waterways in numerous ways and the best method of
control is usually at the pollutant's source.
The US Environmental Protection Agency and the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation
are addressing stormwater management in several
ways. A federal regulation, commonly known as
Stormwater Phase II, requires permits for stormwater
discharges from Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems (MS4s) in urbanized areas and from
construction activities disturbing one or more acres.
To implement the law, the NYSDEC has issued two
general permits, one for MS4s in urbanized areas and
one for construction activities. The permits are part of
the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(SPDES).
Construction Permit Notice of Intent
Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act requires
permits for stormwater discharges from construction
activities that disturb one or more acres of land. To
obtain coverage under the SPDES General Permit for
Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity, you
must prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) and submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) before
beginning construction.
Mail your Notice of Intent to:
NYS DEC “Notice of Intent”
Bureau of Water Permits
625 Broadway, 4th Floor
Albany NY 12233-3505
Note: A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan must
be prepared before submitting the NOI.
If your project is in a regulated MS4, you must
submit your NOI and SWPPP to the municipality.

Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
The owner/operator must prepare a SWPPP - a plan
for controlling runoff and pollutants from a site during
and after construction activities. The principal
objective of a SWPPP is to comply with the NY SPDES
Stormwater Permit for construction activities by
planning and implementing the following practices:
Reduction or elimination of erosion and sediment
loading to waterways during construction
Control of the impacts of stormwater runoff on
the water quality of the receiving waters
Control of the increased volume and peak rate of
runoff during and after construction
Maintenance of stormwater controls during and
after completion of construction
Stormwater Impacts from the
Construction Industry
The construction industry is a critical participant in the
nation’s efforts to protect streams, rivers, lakes,
wetlands and oceans. Through the use of proper
erosion and sediment control and stormwater
management practices, construction site operators
are the key defenders against stormwater impacts.
Construction and development increase the amount of
impervious surfaces in our watersheds, thus
increasing runoff to waterways. The additional runoff
results in increased erosion and sedimentation, and
destroys aquatic habitat. Preventing soil erosion and
sedimentation is an important responsibility at all
construction sites.
In addition to the environmental impacts, uncontrolled
erosion can have a significant financial impact on a
construction project. It costs money and time to
repair gullies, replace vegetation, clean sediment-
clogged storm drains, replace poorly installed
practices and mitigate damage to other people’s
property or to natural resources.
Rain could easily
wash this loose
soil into the
storm sewer and
into a nearby
stream, causing
a water quality
standards
violation that
could cost the
site operator up
to $37,500 each
day it occurs.
* Consult Appendix B of the General Permit for a
complete listing of SWPPP requirements by project type
** Check the MS4 Stormwater General Permit for
maps of regulated MS4 boundaries, TMDL watersheds
and impaired waterbody listings
SWPPP and General Permit Sequence
If your project will disturb or impact 1 or more acres of
land and you are constructing a commercial, industrial
or institutional building, apartments, duplexes, a
roadway, a single-family residential development with
more than 25% impervious surfaces, a single-family
development impacting 5 or more acres of land
(including home construction); creating recreation areas,
fill areas or linear utilities disturbing 5 acres or more*:
Develop a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) with stormwater management practices in
conformance with the New York State Stormwater
Management Design Manual and erosion and
sediment controls in accordance with the New York
State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and
Sediment Control
If your construction project is single-family residential
with 25% or less impervious cover, a linear utility,
recreation fields or fill area, and will impact between 1
and 5 acres of land (and the site is not
located in a
TMDL Watershed, or directly discharging to an
impaired 303(d) waterbody**):
Develop a SWPPP with erosion and sediment controls in
accordance with the New York State Standards and
Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control
If your project is located within a regulated MS4**
1. Submit the SWPPP and Notice of Intent (NOI) to the
municipality
