The Stormwater Management Program is a blueprint for the Town of Islip, local businesses and residents to use to help prevent contamination of coastal waters, water ways and ground waters from pollutants and toxins found in everyday materials, including, but not limited to: trash, chemicals, pet waste, grease, oil, cleaners, paints and sediments. Stormwater carries pollutants from these sources through Islip’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) where they pose a threat to surface water and drinking water quality.
Requirements and Reports
The Federal Government and New York State provide authorization for small municipalities to discharge stormwater through the administration of a Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. The Town of Islip maintains and enforces a stormwater management program designed to reduce the discharge of pollutants from stormwater to the maximum extent practicable and protect water quality in accordance with the Clean Water Act.
