As required by the State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("SPDES") Permit, SPDES Number NY-0287890, issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the City of New York must "provide a written certification statement" that the City has developed "adequate authority to control pollutant discharges into and from its MS4."
The City of New York's (City) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit requires the development of a floatable and settleable trash and debris (herein referred to as "floatables") management program as part of the Stormwater Management Program (SWMP). In particular, the MS4 Permit requires the submission of a work plan "to determine the loading rate of floatable and settleable trash and debris discharged, including land-based sources, from the MS4 to waterbodies listed as impaired for floatables."

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.
The forest management plan is the first comprehensive plan developed for all City-owned watershed forest land. It provides the framework for management actions to occur now and into the future. Revisions and refinements of the plan will occur at regular intervals. Revisions may be enhanced with expansion or refinement of available data, including wetland mapping, additional stand delineation, and stand-level forest inventory data collection. This plan establishes criteria and guidelines for current forest management activities, and provides a solid foundation upon which increasingly robust plans can be developed in the future.
Green infrastructure collects and manages stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces, such as streets and sidewalks. The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is building Right-of-way Bioswales, Stormwater Greenstreets, and other stormwater management practices to reduce combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges into New York City's waterbodies. Green infrastructure is a more cost-effective way to improve water quality in New York City, and will save New Yorkers billions of dollars. Green infrastructure also helps create a more sustainable city. Benefits of green infrastructure include neighborhood beautification, improved air quality, and reduced air temperature during hot weather.
In response to the de Blasio administration's commitment to strengthening infrastructure in the City of New York and to improving operational coordination between City and utility actors, the City convened a working group of City agencies responsible for underground infrastructure and emergency response. This group helped develop a series of recommendations that can inform plans for ongoing coordination and operational improvements.
Also known as the "Airport Noise Study", this report recommends strategies to reduce sound levels related to airports in New York City. This report is required by New York City Local Law 113 of 2005.
