The stream on my property is clogged with debris. Will the Town remove the debris?

No. The stream is the responsibility of the property owner, as there is typically no drainage easements associated with streams.  Homeowners should be aware that no land disturbance can occur within the stream buffer, which is a minimum of 50 feet on either side of the stream within the Town, without first getting approval via a stream buffer variance through the State Environmental Protection Division.
