Emergency Permits 

An emergency permit is available from the Trustees office in cases of dramatic and sudden damage caused by a storm or natural disaster in which further damage to private property is eminent without protective measures put in place. In general, these permits allow for temporary structures such as plywood walls, concrete blocks, and the like, to shore up falling or damaged structures and/or natural features to protect property until permanent measures can be planned for, inspected, and put through the normal Trustee Wetland Permitting process. Emergency permits do not require hearings since they are temporary and as such can be expedited very quickly.

If you need an emergency permit, you will need to first discuss the situation and assess the work that needs to be performed with either a contractor that is familiar with waterfront structures (e.g. bulkhead builder), and/or an environmental technician. Print out the entire emergency permit application (see the link below) and fill in as much information you can with regards to details of your property and your proposed project.  If you do not have project plans, make a photocopy of the survey and depict where the project is located and what the project is on the survey.  If you do not have access to the survey, take photographs of the property and highlight the area(s) where the work will be done.  Photographs of the project area are necessary with this application whether you have a survey or not.  Submit your paperwork and fee to the office of the Board of Trustees for review.

NOTE: Any emergency permit will include a provision to ensure that the applicant returns within 90 days with a new full application(s) and plans for a permanent solution to address the damage caused by the storm or natural disaster. These plans will undergo the normal inspection and hearing process as outlined by the Town’s Code, specifically Chapters 275 and 111 if applicable, and might have added conditions and/or modifications.  This is not a determination from any other agency.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s definition of an emergency is “an event which presents an immediate threat to life, health, property, or natural resources,” as defined in the Uniform Procedures regulations, Section 621.1(j).

PECONIC BAY IS A NO DISCHARGE ZONE 

Town pump out boat offers a free service which is available weekends between Memorial Day and September 30.  It can be contacted on VHF Channel 73.

Use them! We want to protect the life of our bay, and pumping raw sewage into the bay causes pollution, algae blooms, possible diseases for shellfish areas, and can close areas for swimming.

The following pump-outs are located in the Town of Southold:

  • Cutchogue Harbor Marina, Wickham Creek, Cutchogue

  • Brewer’s Marina, Greenport

  • Sterling Harbor Marina, Greenport

  • Port of Egypt Marina, Southold

  • Brick Cove Marina

The costs for pumping out your boat varies. Some of the marinas have obtained grants from the state to pay for these facilities and it will only cost the boat owner a small fee. Others don’t have the grants and the boat owners are charged a per gallon fee for pump out.

Please check with the marina for updated information.
