Reports on the development, progress and achievements of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection's source water protection programs established to maintain the Filtration Avoidance Determination (FAD) for the Catskill/Delaware portion of the New York City water supply.
Since the 1990s, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has imposed certain stormwater-related requirements on Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) infrastructure operated by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), which were incorporated into the individual permits for DEP's 14 wastewater treatment plants. The City's MS4 permit requires the development by August 1, 2018 of a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) Plan, the goal of which will be to reduce pollution that reaches waterbodies through the MS4.

DEP's Green Infrastructure Program is part of a broader commitment to improve water quality across New York City, pursuing new ways of managing stormwater in light of climate change impacts and an evolving regulatory landscape. The goal of the Program is to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSO) by managing the equivalent of stormwater generated by one inch of precipitation on 10% of the impervious surfaces in the combined sewer tributary areas of New York City by 2030.
The Demand Management Unit within DEP is tasked with development of a citywide strategy that will outline DEP's plan for implementation of water demand management projects between now and 2021. The Water Demand Management Plan identifies six key strategies for managing water demand in New York City in light of the Water for the Future program, and details 21 specific initiatives to be implemented over the next eight years in order to achieve targeted water demand reductions.
