The New York City Department of Environmental Protection's commitment to wastewater management and monitoring systems has made a significant impact on the health and marine ecosystem of the city's waterways. Monitoring activities are centered at the Newtown Creek Microbiology Lab, operated by the Bureau of Wastewater Treatment. Staff from the Bureau of Water Supply worked to normalize the water conditions in the West Branch Croton River after higher than normal temperatures were detected. Work is progressing on the first phase of construction of the Mid-Island Bluebelt on Staten Island.
