Nassau County Storm Water Management Program
Department of Public Works

In keeping with County Executive Tom Suozzi’s goal of smart government initiatives, this Department has formed an inter-municipal coalition with the local Towns, Cities and Villages to implement the Nassau County Storm Water Management Program (NCSWMP). This consortium, which includes 57 municipalities in the County, has not only been recognized by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as a model for implementing a regional storm water program but has also received one of the largest grants, totaling $500,000, that the state awarded. The NCSWMP includes a listing of Best Management Practices (BMP’s) that will be implemented by the County and its municipal partners in order to achieve the regulatory standard of reducing pollutants in the storm water to the maximum extent practicable. |
There are six (6) required components that make up the NCSWMP:

What’s New

- Looking to get involved? The County will make available
medallions that educate the public that what enters the catchbasins in
the road enters our precious water bodies. These medallions are
available to the public, civic groups, organizations and schools.
If interested these medallions and glue will be made available for you
to attach to catchbasins in your community. Click
