Part II. Self-Assessment

The Town of Southampton Stormwater Management Program has been in place since July 31, 2003. The Town has completed the

required self-assessment and has determined that the municipality has addressed each of the six minimum control standards. The

Town continues to publicize Stormwater-related issues and supports active participation by townspeople in addressing pollution and

Stormwater issues. The by-laws developed to address the NPDES requirements were passed at the J une 4, 2007 annual town meeting.

New developments are subject to the review and enforcement requirements of the by-laws. Two (2) Cease & Desist orders were

issued for violations under the Stormwater by-law. In o rder to be able to more proactively address catch basin cleaning, the Town

purchased a zero-emission clam-shell type truck for catch basin cleaning to be performed by Highway Department personnel. As

noted below, since the NPDES MS4 program began, the town has identified and disconnected three illicit discharges to the municipal

storm drain system. Southampton has focused efforts on promoting recycling.
