The guidelines were prepared by the Westchester County Department of
Health to provide direction for a complete plan submission to the
Department when required by the Westchester County Department of Health
and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Codes and
Regulations. With a complete submission, an effective review and timely
approval of the project can be realized.
The guidelines provide the MINIMUM requirements for a submission to this
Department regarding various projects; however, additional information
may be required during the project review to complete the review and
approval process.
The Department shall be guided by the “Recommended Standards for
Wastewater Facilities” 2004 Edition or the Latest Edition and the NYSDEC
“Design Standards for Wastewater Treatment Works, Intermediate Sized
Sewage Facilities,” 1988 Edition.
Lack of description or criteria for a particular process is not intended
to suggest that such a system should not be used, but only that
consideration will be on the basis of information submitted with the
design. It is incumbent upon the design engineer to demonstrate fully
that the process or equipment is capable of achieving the treatment
objectives outlined in the applicable standards.
Wherever the term “engineer” is used, it shall mean a Professional
Engineer licensed and currently registered to practice in the State of
New York.
All plans submitted for approval must bear the professional engineer’s
original stamp and original signature on each sheet and be prepared
pursuant to Title VIII, Article 145, Section 7209 of the New York State
Education law.
