The Incorporated Village of Patchogue Stormwater
Management Officer is responsible for conducting inspections of stormwater
management practices (SMPs). All applicants are required to submit
"as-built" plans for any stormwater management practices located on
site after final construction is completed. The plan must show the
final design specifications for all stormwater management facilities
and must be certified by a professional engineer.
Inspection programs shall be established on
any reasonable basis, including but not limited to, routine inspections;
random inspections; inspections based upon complaints or other notice
of possible violations; inspection of drainage basins or areas identified
as higher than typical sources of sediment or other contaminants or
pollutants; inspections of businesses or industries of a type associated
with higher than usual discharges of contaminants or pollutants or
with discharges of a type which are more likely than the typical discharge
to cause violations of state or federal water or sediment quality
standards or the SPDES stormwater permit; and joint inspections with
other agencies inspecting under environmental or safety laws. Inspections
may include, but are not limited to, reviewing maintenance and repair
records; sampling discharges, surface water, groundwater, and material
or water in drainage control facilities; and evaluating the condition
of drainage control facilities and other stormwater management practices.
The Incorporated Village of Patchogue Stormwater
Management Officer may require monitoring and reporting from entities
subject to Local Law No. 6-2009[1] as are necessary to determine compliance with Local Law
No. 6-2009.
When any new stormwater management facility
is installed on private property or when any new connection is made
between private property and the public stormwater system, the landowner
shall grant to the Incorporated Village of Patchogue the right to
enter the property at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner
for the purpose of inspection.
