Town of Henrietta

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) enacted Phase II Storm Water regulations in March of 2003. These regulations require municipalities who own and operate separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) to comply with six minimum measures to improve water quality.

1. Public  Education & Outreach
2. Public Involvement
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
5. Post-Construction Storm Water Management
6. Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping procedures for Municipal Operations

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) was charged by the EPA to issue permits to municipalities across the state that require compliance with the Federal regulations. The regulations require each MS4 to submit an annual report to the NYS DEC in June of each year, the public comment period begins around May 1^st of each year. The annual report captures compliance activities for the year and is kept on file in the office of the Town Clerk and also available on line at the link below for public viewing.

The Town of Henrietta has been working in cooperation with the State of New York, County of Monroe and all nineteen towns and ten villages to develop procedures, policies and practices to improve water quality.  Developers, contractors, engineers and municipalities are all required to follow the regulations during and after development.

Excerpts from Town of Henrietta Stormwater Ordinance

Chapter 236. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

Article II. Illicit Discharges and Prohibited Connections

§ 236-12. Use of best management practices required to prevent, control and reduce stormwater pollutants.

1. Best management practices. Town of Henrietta will adopt requirements identifying best management practices (BMPs) for any activity, operation or facility which may cause or contribute to pollution or contamination of stormwater, the storm drain system or waters of the United States. The owner or operator of a commercial or industrial establishment shall provide, at his or her own expense, reasonable protection from accidental discharge of prohibited materials or other wastes into the municipal storm drain system or waters of the United States through the use of structural and nonstructural BMPs. Further, any person responsible for a property or premises, which is, or may be, the source of an illicit discharge, may be required to implement, at said person’s expense, additional structural and nonstructural BMPs to prevent the further discharge of pollutants to the municipal storm drainage system. Compliance with all terms and conditions of a valid SPDES permit authorizing the discharge of stormwater associated with industrial activity, to the maximum extent practicable, shall be deemed compliant with the provisions of this section. Appropriately designed structural/nonstructural BMPs shall be included as part of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) as necessary for compliance with requirements of the SPDES permit.

2. Private sewage disposal systems. Where private sewage disposal systems are contributing to the Town of Henrietta being subject to the special conditions as defined in §236-2 of this chapter, the owner or operator of such private sewage disposal system shall be required to maintain and operate the system as follows:

1. Private sewage disposal systems should be operated, maintained and inspected in accordance with the Monroe County Sewer Use Law.
2. Septic tank additives shall not be used.
3. Repair or replace private sewage disposal systems as follows:
   1. In accordance with Monroe County sewage design standard.
   2. No person shall alter, repair or extend a private sewage disposal system unless a permit is obtained from the Monroe County Public Health Director or his authorized representative.

Article IV. Design and Management of Post construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Measures

§ 236-25. Findings and purpose.

1. Land development projects and associated increases in impervious cover alter the hydrologic response of local watersheds and increase stormwater runoff rates and volumes, flooding, stream channel erosion, and sediment transport and deposition. This stormwater runoff contributes to increased quantities of waterborne pollutants. Stormwater runoff, soil erosion and nonpoint source pollution can be controlled and minimized through the regulation of stormwater runoff from development sites.

2. The purpose of this article is to establish minimum stormwater management requirements and controls to protect and safeguard the general health, safety, and welfare of the public residing in the watersheds within the Town of Henrietta Therefore, the Town of Henrietta establishes this set of water quality and quantity policies to provide reasonable guidance for the regulation of stormwater runoff and to, in addition to the above, safeguard persons, protect property, prevent damage to the environment in Town of Henrietta, and comply with the NYSDEC State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) General Permit for Stormwater Discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS45),for the purpose of protecting local water resources from degradation.

3. It is determined that the regulation of stormwater runoff discharges from land development projects and other construction activities in order to control and minimize increases in stormwater runoff rates and volumes, soil erosion, stream channel erosion, and nonpoint source pollution associated with stormwater runoff is in the public interest and will prevent threats to public health and safety.

§ 236-26. Applicability; exemptions.

§ 236-30. General design and performance criteria.

1. The applicant shall consult the Town of Henrietta’s design criteria, the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual and the New York Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control for standards and specifications related to stormwater management design criteria. Stormwater management practices that are designed and constructed in accordance with these technical documents shall be presumed to meet the standards imposed by this article. If there is a conflict between any of the standards, the more stringent standard shall apply. Where stormwater management practices are not in accordance with technical standards, the applicant or developer must demonstrate equivalence to the technical standards set forth in this section and § 236-31 of this article, and the SWPPP shall be prepared by a licensed/certified professional.

2. The following design and performance criteria shall be addressed for stormwater management at all sites:
   1. All site designs shall establish stormwater management practices to control the peak flow rates of stormwater discharge associated with specified design storms and reduce the generation of stormwater. These practices should seek to utilize pervious areas for stormwater treatment and to infiltrate stormwater runoff from driveways, sidewalks, rooftops, parking lots, and landscaped areas to the maximum extent practicable to provide treatment for both water quality and quantity.
   2. All stormwater runoff generated from new development shall not discharge untreated stormwater directly into a jurisdictional wetland or local water body without adequate treatment. Where such discharges are proposed, the impact of the proposal on wetland functional values shall be assessed using a method acceptable to the Town of Henrietta. In no case shall the impact on functional values be any greater than that allowed by the Army Corps of Engineers (COE) or the NYSDEC responsible for natural resources.
   3. An attempt shall be made to maintain annual groundwater recharge rates by promoting infiltration through the use of structural and nonstructural methods. At a minimum, an attempt shall be made for annual recharge from the post development site to mimic the annual recharge from predevelopment site conditions.
   4. In order to protect stream channels from degradation, a specific channel protection criteria shall be provided as prescribed in the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual.
   5. Stormwater discharges to critical areas with sensitive resources may be subject to additional performance criteria, or may need to utilize or restrict certain stormwater management practices.
   6. Stormwater discharges from land uses or activities with higher potential pollutant loadings, known as “hotspots,” may require the use of specific structural stormwater treatment practices and pollution prevention practices.
   7. Prior to design, applicants are required to consult with the Town of Henrietta to determine if they are subject to additional stormwater design requirements.
   8. The calculations for determining peak flows (WQv) as found in the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual shall be used for sizing all stormwater management practices.
