Council Member Avilés inquires about the calculation and reporting of combined sewer overflow (CSO) reduction attributable to green infrastructure assets. Deputy Commissioner Angela Licata explains how this information is tracked and reported.
- DEP tracks CSO reduction in their annual report, issued on April 30th
- The report includes the number and types of assets constructed, their locations, and the volume of water managed
- Approximately 600 million gallons of CSO per year are now being addressed through the green infrastructure program
- This information is available in DEP's annual report, which can be found on their website

Great.
1:31:46
We note here that DEP must calculate the volume of the combined sewer overflow reduction attributable to green infrastructure assets.
1:31:55
Is that also, I understand that that's part of the consent order.
1:32:01
Is that metric also available on New York City Open Data?
1:32:44
So when you say the volume managed, that also includes the reduction
Angela Licata
1:32:06
I don't know if it's on Open Data.
1:32:09
No.
1:32:10
Okay.
1:32:10
But we do track it in.
1:32:12
This is our annual report which was just issued, April 30.
1:32:16
We have a yearly report, and we look at the number of assets.
1:32:21
It gives you the type of asset that was constructed, obviously where the asset was built, and the volume managed that we roll up.
1:32:31
So we have an estimated about 600,000,000 gallons a year that is now being addressed with our green infrastructure program.
1:32:52
level?
1:32:52
That's our CSO abated.
