The 2005 Distriution Sampling Site Plan provides a monitoring framework for New York city's drinking water supply distribution system which is consistent with new York State and federal regulations. The aim of the sampling program is to effectively monitor the water quality throughout the New York City water distribution system.
This report by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection presents New York City's revised Long-Term Watershed Protection Program, submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the City's application for an extension of the 2002-2007 filtration waiver for the Catskill/Delaware systems. Although many of the programs described in this document are intended to form the basis of the next Filtration Avoidance Determination (FAD) for the years 2007-2012, the City anticipates that they will continue beyond 2012, and their institutionalization with community-based partners and local governments will ensure continued filtration waivers for the Catskill/Delaware systems for years to come.
Prepared in accordance with the November 2002 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Filtation Avoidance Determination, this report provides the status of various research programs addressing the soruces, fate and transport of key constituents, and the status of the evaluation of data generated by other agencies. This report also addresses research on watershed processes affecting water quality, special research projects and contains abstracts from a watershed monitoring seminar later in the year.
This report is prepared by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection to comply with sectin 5.1 of the November 2002 Filtation Avoidance Determination (FAD), which requires that New York City submit a Comprehensive Water Quality/Program Evaluation Report to the United States Environmental Protection Administration (EPA). Its purpose is to summarize the achievements of the programs that comprise New York City's overall watershed protection program; to review water quality status and trends in the Catskill/Delaware basins; and, where possible, to demonstrate the link between program activities and changes in water quality.
Watershed Annual Reports provide summary information about the watersheds, streams and reservoirs that are the sources of New York City's drinking water. They provide a general overview of the city's water resources, their condition during the year, and report on the Department of Environmental Protection's compliance with regulatory standards or guidelines. These reports are complementary to the New York City Drinking Water Supply and Quality Reports, also published annually.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is responsible for operating, maintaining, and protecting the city's water supply and distribution system. This report, the 2011 Watershed Protection Program Summary and Assessment, has been prepared to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) July 2007 Filtration Avoidance Determination for New York City's Catskill/Delaware Water Supply Systems. Unlike previous summary and assessment reports, which were preapred to support granting of a new FAD, this one represents a mid-term assessment at the halfway point of a 10-year FAD.
This report presents the initial steps that the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has taken over the past four years to address climate change. The report includes the findings and recommendations to date of DEP's Climage Change Program and Task Force and the immediate actions that DEP is committed to undertaking to further address this critical issue.
Drinking water for New York City is supplied from several large reservoirs, including a system of reservoirs west of the Hudson River. To provide updated reservoir capacity tables and bathymetry maps of the City's six West of Hudson reservoirs, bathymetric surveys were conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey from 2013 to 2015.
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.
This report provides a summary of updates made to models developed during development of Waterbody/Watershed Facility Plans (WWFP) submitted in the late 2000s to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Over time, sewer system models are modified and updated based on new information obtained during various facility planning and design projects.
This report describes the first phase of the Climate Change Integrated Modeling Project (CCIMP) to evaluate the effects of future climate change on the quantity and quality of water in the NYC water supply. The project is an element of DEP's Climate Change Action Plan released in 2008.
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has started to develop solutions to heavy rainfall and associated physical and societal impacts by conducting the Cloudburst Resiliency Planning Study, focusing on a pilot area in Southeast Queens. The purpose of this project is to provide insight on ways to advance climate resiliency projects and traditional stormwater solutions to mitigate inland flooding and accommodate future increase in rainfall intensity through integration with ongoing urban planning and development.

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.
Over the last year, airline on-time performance across the nation has sunk to unprecedented poor levels. This report details the impact of the nation's worsening flight delays on the economy and environment.
The State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Best Management Practices (SPDES BMP) Consent Order of 2010 requires the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to deliver to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) an "evaluation of the hydraulic capacity of the NYC sewer system (combined and sanitary) by wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) drainage area (excluding Oakwood Beach)."
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is working to improve the water quality of New York's waterbodies through planning, investment, innovative technologies, and stakeholder participation focused on controlling "combined sewer overflow" or CSO.
To develop and create the most effective stormwater management program possible, DEP looked to its peers in other municipalities to understand which methods have been successful in implementing stormwater management programs and meeting regulatory requirements. This report provides DEP with baseline knowledge to make informed and effective decisions for our community as we continue to develop and implement our stormwater management program.
