The key activities to be performed include:

1. Replacing storm sewers with larger diameter pipes to increase flow capacity and provide some peak flow attenuation through increased storage capacity.
2. Installing underground storage systems to take peak flows offline for slow release.
3. Adding additional storm system inlets such as catch basins.
4. Re-routing select storm sewers to new outfalls for the Village of New Square and Town of Ramapo.

The award has an effective date of May 1, 2025 and a targeted completion date of November 1, 2027. No sub-awards are included under this Cooperative Agreement.

This agreement provides funding to the village of new square to implement its project for storm drainage and flood mitigation improvements as directed in the 2023 consolidated appropriations act.activities: the activities to be performed on storm drainage throughout the village of new square will be structured to occur within the four drainage areas within the village: area 1 - northwest sector of the village; area 2 - the south-central sector downstream of area 1; area 3 - southwest sector, collects runoff that discharges to the north branch of the pascack brook; and area 4 - the eastern sector, which receives significant runoff from the palisades parkway drainage system, as well as half of the villages runoff. Subrecipient:no subawards are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables which are expected to lead to the planned improvements include:1. The replacement of storm sewers with larger diameter pipes for increased flow capacity and the ability to provide some attenuation of peak flows by providing increased storage capacity;2. Installation of underground storage systems to take peak flows off line to be released slowly off peak;3. Installation of additional storm system inlets such as catch basins; and 4. The select RE-routing of storm sewers to new outfalls for the village of new square, town of ramapo, new york.
