[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the
Town of Southold 3-27-2007 by L.L. No. 9-2007; amended in its entirety 6-18-2024 by L.L. No. 11-2024. Other amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter shall be known as the "Stormwater Management; Erosion
and Sediment Control Law."
A.
Statutory authorization. This chapter is enacted pursuant to § 10
of the Municipal Home Rule Law to promote the public health, safety
and general welfare of Town citizens through land use regulations
intended to control flooding, erosion or sedimentation within the
entire Town.
B.
Conflict with other laws. In their interpretation and application,
the provisions of this chapter shall be minimum requirements adopted
for the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare. Whenever
the requirements of this chapter are at variance with the requirements,
of related laws, the most restrictive or that imposing the highest
standards shall govern.
It is the purpose of this chapter to promote and protect, to
the maximum extent practicable, the public health, safety and general
welfare by establishing minimum stormwater management requirements
and controls. The objectives of this chapter are as follows:
A.
Minimizing soil erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff;
B.
Controlling, restricting or prohibiting activities which alter natural
drainage systems, floodplains, stream channels and natural protective
features, including, but not limited to, wetlands, bluffs, dunes,
beaches, natural protective features, which contribute to the accommodation
of floodwaters and retention of sediment;
C.
Controlling, restricting or prohibiting land use activities which
increase nonpoint source pollution due to stormwater runoff and/or
which result in discharge onto public lands, neighboring properties
or natural protective features;
D.
Assuring that land and water uses in the Town are designed and/or
conducted using best management practices to control flooding, stormwater
runoff and minimize stormwater runoff from discharging onto public
lands, neighboring properties or natural protective features;
E.
Promoting the recharge of stormwater into the freshwater aquifer
to protect the drinking water supply and minimize saltwater intrusion.

of this chapter. For the purposes of this chapter, a stormwater pollution
prevention plan, when required by the Department's regulations,
will qualify as a stormwater management control plan.
That part of stormwater that flows over the land surface.
The process of mechanically scraping away topsoil.
Any object constructed, erected, installed or placed on land
or in water, including buildings, sheds, mobile homes, tanks, bulkheads,
piers and docks and any additions or alterations thereto.
That exposed soil has been covered with material(s) as set
forth in the technical standard, New York Standards and Specifications
for Erosion and Sediment Control, to prevent the exposed soil from
eroding. The materials can include, but are not limited to, mulch,

(4)
A schedule of the sequence of installation of planned soil erosion,
sedimentation and stormwater runoff control measures as related to
the progress of the project including anticipated starting and completion
dates.
A.
The site erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff control measures
shall be appropriate for existing topography, vegetation and other
salient natural features of the site. The plan shall indicate that
the development will preserve natural features, minimize grading and
cut and fill operations, ensure conformity with natural topography,
and retain natural vegetation and trees to the maximum extent practicable
in order to create the least erosion potential and handle adequately
the volume and rate or velocity, of surface water runoff.
B.
Site grading, excavation and filling shall minimize destruction of
natural vegetation, the potential for erosion, sedimentation and stormwater
runoff and the threat to the health, safety and welfare of neighboring
property owners and the general public.
C.
Erosion, sedimentation and stormwater runoff shall be controlled
prior to, during, and after site preparation and construction. During
grading operations, appropriate measures for dust control shall be
undertaken.
D.
Areas exposed by site preparation shall be protected during site
construction with hay bales, temporary vegetation and/or mulching
to meet the requirements of the approved stormwater management control
plan in effect.
E.
Natural drainage patterns shall be protected and incorporated into
site design. Where natural drainage patterns are demonstrated to be
adversely affecting a beach or wetland, drainage patterns may be altered
in a manner which reduces the threat to such beach or wetland and
does not create other flooding or erosion problems.
F.
Site preparation, including stripping of vegetative cover and grading,
shall be undertaken so that no individual building site is stripped
of its vegetation cover more than 30 days prior to commencement of
construction. Soils exposed or disturbed by site preparation shall
remain so for the shortest practical period of time during site clearing,
construction and restoration.
G.
Disturbed soils shall be stabilized and revegetated or seeded as
soon as practicable. During the interim, erosion protection measures
such as temporary vegetation, retention ponds, recharge basins, berming,
silt traps and mulching shall be used to ensure that sedimentation
is minimized and mitigated.
H.
In no case shall stormwater be diverted to another property either
during site preparation or after development. In appropriate cases,
with the approval of the Superintendent of Highways, drainage control
measures may be implemented in the right of way attendant to an adjacent
Town highway, at the applicant's expense.
I.
During the construction period, disposal of stormwater runoff generated
by development activity shall be handled on-site. Baling, mulching,
debris basins, silt traps, use of fibrous cover materials or similar
measures shall be used to contain soil erosion on the site.
J.
All projects, regardless of the area of groundwater removal and/or
grading, shall retain a natural vegetative buffer zone along waterbodies,
including wetlands and marshes, if one is imposed by the Board of
Trustees. If necessary, other forms of erosion control measures will
also be included.
K.
Natural land features such as shallow depressions shall be used,
wherever possible, to collect stormwater on-site for recharge.
L.
Site designs shall minimize impermeable paving.
M.
Stormwater runoff shall not be directly discharged to surface waters,
marshes and wetlands. Stormwater pollutants shall not be discharged
directly into a wetland, but shall be attenuated by using holding
ponds, sedimentation basins, perimeter berming, vegetated buffer areas
and other measures that reduce flow velocity and increase storage
time. Pollutants shall not be discharged into wetlands. In addition,
any filtering devices constructed as part of the drainage system must
be adequately maintained in order to function properly.
N.
All wetland vegetation shall be maintained. Dredging and site construction
should not disturb wetlands either by direct removal of vegetation
or substrate, or by the alteration of adjacent slopes that would undermine
the stability of the substrate unless permission is obtained from
the Board of Trustees. Grading equipment shall not be allowed to enter
into or cross any watercourse or wetland.
O.
Subsurface sediments shall be maintained to provide structural support
for the soils of the wetlands.
P.
The elevation of a wetland shall not be altered.
Q.
No vegetation required by any agency as a buffer to a natural protective
feature shall be disturbed by grading, erosion, sedimentation, or
direct removal of vegetation.
R.
Fill shall not encroach on natural watercourses, constructed channels,
wetlands, or floodway areas. All fill shall be compacted at a final
angle of repose which provides stability for the material, minimizes
erosion and prevents settlement.
S.
Trails and walking paths along waterbodies shall be sited and constructed
so they are not a source of sediment subject to the approval of the
Board of Trustees.
T.
The amount and velocity of runoff from a site after development shall
approximate its predevelopment characteristics. However, if the site
is adjacent to coastal waters, storm water shall be contained on-site,
to the maximum extent practicable, to prevent direct discharge of
runoff to coastal waters.
U.
Natural floodplains and major drainage swales shall not be altered
or disturbed in a manner which decreases their ability to accommodate
and channel stormwater runoff and flood waters. If no practicable
alternative to the location of development, roadway, driveways, and
similar surfaces within these areas exists, such facilities shall
be sited and constructed to minimize and mitigate the amount and velocity
of stormwater entering the channel, floodplain or swale and to approximate
the original functions of the undisturbed condition.
V.
No land having a slope equal to or greater than 20% shall be developed
or disturbed except for conservation measures or measures intended
to remove debris which inhibits the functioning of the swale, except
accessways to shorelines approved by the Board of Trustees shall be
permitted. Natural vegetation and topography shall be retained to
stabilize soils and reduce the volume of stormwater overflow.
W.
On lands having slopes of less than 20%, but composed of highly erodible
soils, development proposals shall include consideration of the load-bearing
capacity of the soils. Unless it can be demonstrated that the soils
can be stabilized with a minimum of on-site disturbance and no adverse
impacts to the stability of neighboring properties, the development
proposal shall not be approved as submitted.
X.
All permanent (final) vegetation and mechanical erosion control measures
called for in approved plans shall be installed within the time limits
specified by the Building Inspector, and no later than the expiration
of the municipal permit issued therewith.
Appeals from the requirements herein may be considered by the
Board of Zoning Appeals upon the showing of an undue hardship.
A.
Inspection. Inspection for soil erosion, sedimentation, and runoff
control plan compliance shall be conducted by the Building Inspector
to determine that the work has been completed in accordance with such
plan. The plan may be modified by mutual agreement if, during or after
installation, the Building Inspector deems that the installed measures
are not adequate to meet the performance standards or if alternatives
would better meet the Code requirements. If no agreement is reached,
the Building Inspector may require the submission of a modified plan
in order to maintain compliance with this chapter.
B.
Restoration. Any clearing, excavation or development of land in violation
of this chapter shall be corrected forthwith after written notice
by the Building Inspector. In the event that corrective action is
not taken as directed within a reasonable time, the Town may, at its
own expense, take corrective action to restore the property or initiate
legal action to prevent unlawful or unauthorized activity. The cost
of restoration shall become a lien upon the property upon which such
unlawful activity occurred.
C.
Certificate of occupancy. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued
by the Building Inspector until all work required to be completed
pursuant to the plan has been satisfactorily done.
D.
Fines. Any responsible party undertaking clearing, excavation or
development of land in violation of this chapter, or falsifying information
in connection with the requirements of this chapter, upon conviction,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less
than $500 and not more than $2,000. Such person shall be deemed guilty
of a separate offense for each day during which a violation of this
chapter is committed or continues.
E.
Enforcement. The Director of Code Enforcement and/or the Building
Inspector are responsible for enforcement of the provisions of this
chapter, and have the authority to issue violations of this chapter.
The Town Attorney shall be responsible for prosecution of any such
violations. In addition to the above-provided fines, the Town Board
may authorize an action or proceeding in the name of the Town in a
court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with or to restrain
by injunction the violation of this chapter.
