The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has given away its first rain barrels of 2017 to homeowners throughout the city, who can save up to 40 percent of their water use during summer months by using them for lawn and garden tasks. Last year, a total of 11,111 of the barrels were distributed. Since 2013, the DEP has avoided approximately 200 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions through the Demand Response Program. The DEP's only Steam Stationary Engineer, Robert Mastrolembo, is featured in Focus on the Field, which describes his role in maintaining the steam heating system at Wards Island Wastewater Treatment Plant. DEP staff recently participated in the Lower Hudson Valley Professiona Engineering Society's Engineering Expo 2017.
