Annual Village Stormwater Reports

The Village is required to file with the State DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) an annual report summarizing the Village's efforts at minimizing stormwater runoff and preventing pollution of our stormwater in order to protect groundwater (important for drinking water and irrigation) and surface body of waters such as Long Island Sound.

Each spring the Annual Stormwater Report report is prepared and filed by the Environmental Protection Commissioner and presented at the Board of Trustee's Meeting.

Village residents are encouraged to review these reports and provide any comments to the Board of Trustees and Environmental Protection Commissioner through the Shoreham Village Clerk.
