Castleton Village Stormwater Program

As a Hudson River water front community, the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson understands and values the importance of our water resources. The river provides us with scenic and recreational enjoyment, transportation and commercial opportunities. In return, we are all stewards of the Hudson River. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to preserve and protect this great river.

To protect our water resources, the U.S. EPA and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation require permits for stormwater discharges from Municipal Separate Stormwater Systems (MS4s) in certain urbanized areas including the Village of Castleton.

To comply with these permit requirement, the Village has created a Stormwater Information page, where information about local laws, the MS4 permit program and permits for construction activities can be found along with links and other educational information about how we can protect our water resources.

For more information, please click on Village Stormwater Program or contact the Village Offices at 732-2211.
