Schuyler County Watershed Protection Agency
Schuyler County WPA Online Policy and Procedures Handbook
Introduction
The regulatory framework the Schuyler County Watershed Protection Agency (WPA) derives its Policy from is contained wholly or in part from:
While the Regulatory Authority of the WPA is derived exclusively from the Watershed Protection Law and the Tyrone and Orange Wastewater Management Law, the WPA adheres to and integrates the appropriate local and state regulations in order to better serve Schuyler County residents, protect public health and protect water quality.
In order to better implement the WPA’s objectives of protecting public health and protecting water quality, the Schuyler County WPA Online Policy and Procedures Handbook has been developed. The Online Handbook will be updated as needed in order to present the most up-to-date information available and to better serve the community. However, due to inherent inefficiency of public postings, the official policy and procedures of the WPA may not be completely reflected in the Online Handbook.
For most situations, the Policy of the WPA is contained within the regulatory framework outlined above. For this reason, the majority of the Online Handbook will deal specifically with Procedures. However, where appropriate and necessary the specific Policy of the WPA has been integrated into the Online Handbook. For suggestions on how to improve this Online Handbook, please contact the office Monday through Friday or send an email to watershed@stny.rr.com.
For quick reference and ease of use, the Schuyler County WPA Online Policy and Procedures Handbook has been divided up into several sections, each pertaining to those activities and services provided through the WPA as they are typically requested by the public. For navigation and access among the various sections, use the Additional Pertinent Handbook Sections on the bottom of the page or click the Online Handbook Table of Contents on side bar of each page.
Additional assistance in understanding and implementing these Policy and Procedures can be provided by contacting the WPA. Prior to contacting the WPA, we encourage you to read through the entire section to help answer any additional questions you may have.
