N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law § 15-1923: Plans and estimates

§ 15-1923. Plans and estimates.

The department may make a study of the works necessary to drain the

district and prepare maps, plans, estimates and reports showing a

complete system of drainage therefor, the estimated cost of the various

ditches and other works and parts thereof and the boundaries of the land

which will be served by and therefor should contribute to the cost of

each structure. These estimates of costs shall be made on the assumption

that no drainage work has ever been done in the district. In addition

the department may show on the plans any drainage work which has

heretofore been done in the district, may estimate the cost of those

works on the same basis used for the estimate of the cost of the

proposed system and in similar manner may determine the boundaries of

the land served by the existing ditches.
