Dear Supervisor Strough
As you know the Town of Queensbury is a regulated municipality under the NYS DEC Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4)program. The purpose of these regulations is to help protect and improve the
quality of public waterbodies in more densely populated areas of the state,specifically focusing on
stormwater runoff. These regulations outline a large number of tasks (formatted as six"minimum
measures")which the municipality must undertake to be in compliance with these mandates.
The six minimum measures which the Town of Queensbury must undertake consist of the following:
MM1: Public education and outreach
MM2: Public involvement and participation
MM3: Illicit discharge detection and elimination
MM4: Construction site runoff control
MMS: Post construction stormwater management
MM6: Pollution prevention and good housekeeping for municipal operations
Currently the Warren County SWCD is assisting the Town of Queensbury with the compliance of the town's
MS4 program in an agreement approved by the Town Board. At this time,the NYSDEC is revising compliance
criteria and other aspects of the MS4 permit. The final permit has not been released,but there will be
changes to the operation of the program and subsequently to the Town's stormwater plan.
The existing agreement between the SWCD and the Town expires on June 30,2017. The SWCD proposes that
the Town and the SWCD extend the existing agreement until June 30,2018. In addition to the normal
activities during this time the Town,with the District's assistance,can develop a new SWMPP to meet the
new requirements for the program. There would be no cost changes to the program during this time.
If this is acceptable, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can execute this
I look forward to hearing from you.
