DEPs water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the systems 2000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the city.

The Bureau of Environmental Planning and Analysis (BEPA) within the Bureau of Sustainability is responsible for implementation of the Unified Stormwater Rule (USWR) through its Stormwater Construction and Maintenance Permitting Unit. The USWR requires stormwater management for construction on public and private properties (1) to help protect City infrastructure from polluted stormwater runoff generated from construction activities (2) to reduce or slow down stormwater entering sewers during wet weather and (3) to help improve the quality of NYCs waterways. This regulatory structure the USWR is required by the Citys Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit issued by the State pursuant to the federal Clean Water Act and also incorporated into the Citys commitments to reducing combined sewer overflow (CSO). The Citys stormwater regulations allow new developments to be built while ensuring the Citys compliance with our permit obligations and reducing the flow into our sewer system during larger storm events.

The Stormwater Construction and Maintenance Permitting Unit in BEPA reviews Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans in support of Unified Stormwater Rule compliance issues Stormwater Construction Permits and sees sites through the Notice of Termination and Maintenance Permit closeout process. The unit also tracks permitting metrics identifies opportunities for process improvements engages with developers engineering and architectural industry representatives and other agencies implementing capital projects subject to compliance and tracks compliance with water quality objectives under CSO and MS4 mandates.
