As required by the MS4 Permit, SUNY Buffalo State University prepares an annual report documenting the campus storm water management program and storm water pollution prevention efforts over the previous year.  A draft storm water report for the annual period, ending January 2nd of each year, is made available for public comment through this notice posted on this website.  Additional notices are also issued in the campus news ("Daily Bulletin") email during the open comment period each year. This website and the other issued notices provide instructions for submitting comments and/or requesting a public meeting during the open public review and comment period, which ends on March 7th each year.

At the close of the public comment period, the draft report is finalized to address public notice requirements and incorporate public comments as needed before it is submitted to the NYS DEC by April 1st each year.  In addition, each year SUNY Buffalo State University is required to submit two certifications of compliance with MS4 permit.  An interim progress certification is submitted to NYS DEC before October 1st and again by April 1st (submitted with the final annual report).

During the open comment period for the annual report, written comments, questions and/or requests for a public meeting on the report may be submitted to:

Storm Water Coordinator, Clinton Center-Room 209, SUNY Buffalo State University, 1300 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York 14222-1095.

Alternatively, written comments may be submitted via e-mail to: bleechjp@buffalostate.edu.

Comments received on the draft annual report are reviewed and incorporated into the Storm Water Management  (SWMP) Plan.  More information on this Plan is available on our SWMP Plan webpage
