The Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board utilized GIS technology to create planning maps to assist the automatically designated MS4s in the Syracuse Urban Area. The hydrologic characteristics of the SUA that are identified on these maps may provide natural focal points for intermunicipal collaborative efforts.
