The Board of Trustees finds that the waterfront,
the harbor and adjacent local waters are a most vital financial asset
to the Village and of extreme importance to the social, economic and
cultural well-being of Village residents and visitors alike and that
the quality of all local waters must be protected and preserved to
the maximum practical extent to ensure continuation and enhancement
of the benefits derived therefrom both for now and for future generations.
It is the intent of this chapter to establish procedures which will
provide assurance that the Village administration is made aware of
all ongoing and pending activities which may have an adverse impact
on the quality of local waters and of all opportunities for improvement
of the quality of these waters so that proper, adequate and timely
action may be taken to preserve the water quality and, thereby, the
quality of life in the area.
