The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $1,250,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to the Town of Clarkstown, NY to implement a project to replace deteriorated stormwater infrastructure and add water quality improvement measures in the West Nyack Hamlet. The project activities include replacement of two existing culverts, installation of a new drainage conveyance system, two subsurface stormwater systems, and two water quality systems. The proposed drainage system will capture, convey, and treat stormwater runoff from a 130-acre area, helping to reduce the impact of flooding on area residents and businesses. The primary objectives are to control and reduce the impact of stormwater runoff on water quality, control increased runoff volume and peak flows, and maintain stormwater controls during and after construction. The award period runs from July 2024 through June 2026.
