Pursuant to a permit obtained from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Village is implementing a five (5) year program to reduce the impact on our tidal and freshwater wetlands from storm water runoff. A major component of this program is the reduction of pollutants, such as pathogen containing pet wastes, trash, petroleum products, and nutrients and toxics found in lawn care and gardening products from being discarded into or from leaching into the Village’s drainage systems. Also, feeding pigeons geese and encouraging them to become “year-around residents” creates a mess on our buildings and sidewalks or lawns, athletic fields and golf courses and contributes pollution to our ponds and bays.
To meet the program goals, the Village is asking residents to get involved and help. By being careful with waste disposal, chemical use, cleaning up after our pets and not feeding waterfowl, and pigeons we can reduce the impairments of the receiving waters and improve the aesthetics of the community.
