EPA Compliance and Save the Sound Efforts
In 2009, the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted wet-weather sampling at stormwater outfalls in many Long Island Sound Shore communities. Based on these sampling results the EPA has found higher than acceptable levels of certain bacteria at outfalls in most of these communities, including the Village of Mamroneck.
Based on thse results, the EPA issued a Notice of Violation and an Order to Remedy to the Village of Mamaroneck which required that the Village identify the sources and design a program which will eliminate these pollutants of concern.
In order to assist with this process, the Village conducted a Request for Proposals process and retained the firm of with Malcolm Pirnie/ARCARDIS (“Arcadis”) to assist the Village with the its illicit discharge detection and elimination program which was followed by river sampling operations to confirm the EPA findings as well as locate areas of concern.
In addition to the work with Arcadis, the Village has also partnered with Save the Sound to investiagte other longstanding areas of concern and based on this cooperative effort have been able to identify and eliminate several major sources of water pollution.
