NYSDEC MS4 Storm Water Complaince Page
Every Village in Nassau County is responsible for complying with a NYSDEC Storm Water Discharge Permit (MS4). Four years ago, the Village committed itself to developing a Storm Water Management Plan and in this plan there were several items that the Village stated it would complete in order to educate the public with the ultimate goal of protecting the water quality of Manhasset Bay and Mill Pond. The Village appointed the Volunteer Robert Keane, PE to be its Storm Water Contact.
Below
are several useful links to pages to help reduce waste.This page will
be updated to describe the permit program, requirements and how the
Village is complying with the program.
