CNY Stormwater Coalition
Working Together To Protect Central New York’s Waters
Under the leadership of Central New York Regional Planning & Development Board (CNY RPDB), 29 municipalities from Onondaga and Oswego Counties signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to form the Central New York Stormwater Coalition on January 1, 2011. As a formal Coalition, members are efficiently and effectively working to meet regulatory stormwater management requirements while improving water quality throughout Central New York. By partnering with neighboring communities and other organizations such as CNY RPDB, NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC), and Onondaga and Oswego County Soil & Water Conservation Districts, Coalition members are finding ways to reduce and share the cost of regulatory compliance, reduce duplicative efforts, and leverage available funding.
The Coalition is governed by a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Executive Committee. A Technical Committee addresses issues such as pollutant loading and strategy development. CNY RPDB serves as the Coalition’s Treasurer, provides staff services, and acts in an advisory capacity to the Coalition and its Committees.
To date, the Coalition has undertaken or is in the process of addressing the following activities:
- Establish low-cost alternatives and secure grant funding to help regulated communities meet common compliance requirements.
- Improve consistency of regional mapping and inspection data across county lines.
- Provide uniform response to NYS DEC regarding changing and new permit requirements
- Ensure that Coalition members are aware of upcoming program changes and new requirements in order to prepare and respond accordingly.
- Sponsor public education and municipal training programs
The Coalition meets four times per year and meetings are open to the public. For additional information, send an e-mail to: .
