N.Y. General Municipal Law § 120-n: Maps and plans of sewers

§ 120-n. Maps and plans of sewers. Before taking any proceedings for

the construction of any sewer or of any system of sewers or of any

addition thereto or alteration thereof, such municipality or

municipalities acting severally or jointly shall cause to be made a map

and plan therefor, or an amendment of any map and plan previously

approved, as the case may be, and shall submit the same to the state

commissioner of health for his approval, and upon his approval the same

shall be filed in his office. A copy of such map and plan or of any

such amendment thereof shall also be filed in the office of the clerk of

each such municipality. Any such map and plan shall include

specifications of dimensions, connections and outlets or sewage disposal

works and may also include any existing sewer which it shall be found

feasible and proper to incorporate or include in the proposed system. No

work of any kind shall be done on or for the construction, extension,

reconstruction, removal or modification of any system of sewers or of

any sewer thereof until a map and plan covering the entire system shall

first have been duly approved and filed as above provided, and in the

execution of the construction, extension, reconstruction, removal or

modification of any system of sewers or of any sewer thereof no

deviations from the plans as finally approved and filed shall be made

until plans or descriptions adequately showing such deviations are first

approved and filed as above provided. The state commissioner of health,

in approving said map and plan or by a certificate supplementing any

such approval, may authorize such municipality or municipalities to

temporarily omit or defer the construction of any portion of any such

sewer or system of sewers. A copy or copies of his approval or of any

such supplemental certificate shall be certified to each such

municipality and filed in the office of the clerk thereof.
