The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has a longstanding commitment to managing stormwater. This is a brief progress report on this ongoing work.
Each year, the City prepares an MS4 annual report to inform NYSDEC and the public of the City’s progress in implementing the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and the status of compliance with the Municipal Separate Sewer Systems (MS4) permit.
This report records compliance with, and exemptions from, New York city charter section 224.1: Green Building Standards for fiscal year 2020 as reported by applicable capital building agencies.
Press releases are designed to inform the public of an upcoming/ongoing emergency or special event. Some emergencies include coastal storms, nor'easters, and extreme heat. Releases also highlight special events including Ready New York presentations and other community preparedness initiatives.
