Rural Stormwater Coalition

Who we are: The Rural Stormwater Coalition of Chemung, Schuyler and Steuben Counties was formed in December 2007 with the goal for a regional approach to stormwater education and outreach. The regional coalition approach was fostered by the Water Quality Coordinating Committees and the Soil & Water Conservation Districts of Chemung, Schuyler and Steuben Counties. The Coalition is made up of local agencies and municipal representatives focusing on stormwater management issues.
What we do: The Rural Stormwater Coalition provides education and outreach to municipal staff and the general public. Program offerings include municipal trainings on the New York State DEC SPDES general permit for Stormwater Discharges from Construction Activity. Currently, the coalition has a rain barrel program for the general public in an effort to reduce stormwater runoff from residential sites.
