Who we are:
The Rural Storm water Coalition of Chemung, Schuyler and Steuben Counties was formed in December 2007 with the goal for a regional approach to storm water education and outreach. The regional coalition approach was fostered by the Water Quality Coordinating Committees and the Soil & Water Conservation Districts of Chemung, Schuyler and Steuben Counties. The Coalition is made up of local agencies and municipal representatives focusing on storm water management issues.
