In 2009, New York City enacted a number of new laws to ensure that asbestos abatement is conducted safely. These laws impact the ways that asbestos projects are filed, approved and inspected, and involve new levels of cooperation among the agencies that oversee asbestos and construction safety: the Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of Buildings and the Fire Department. The purpose of this guide is to explain the new laws and help building owners, builders and abatement contractors working in New York City.

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has operated a Land Acquisition Program (LAP) in the Catskill-Delaware Water Supply System since 1997. LAP seeks to acquire land and conservation easements for watershed protection and is a key component of the City's Watershed Protection Program, which seeks to increase watershed protection and avoid filtration of the world's largest surface water supply. This Long-Term Land Acquisition Plan 2012 to 2022 is being submitted in accordance with the 2007 Filtration Avoidance Determination to detail the City's proposed approach to land acquisition under the next Water Supply Permit.
