Planning Board tells DEIS to use current SPDES permit, require infiltration testing and full SWPPP

Jul 22, 2026

The Planning Board instructed that the DEIS reference the current SPDES permit (not the 2010 permit), require infiltration testing, and include a full SWPPP addressing water quality/quantity for 1-, 10-, and 100-year events and maintenance responsibilities.

The full story

The Planning Board said the DEIS's stormwater section must be updated to reference the current SPDES permit rather than the 2010 permit and must include empirical testing and a complete Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The board requested on-site infiltration testing to support the preliminary design and an SWPPP that addresses stormwater quality and quantity for the 1-, 10-, and 100-year 24-hour storm events and conforms with the latest NYS DEC design manual.
