    Deputy Commissioner Licata discusses the challenges and current approaches to measuring the impact of green infrastructure, addressing both CSO reduction and other benefits like street flooding reduction.

    • The 'greened acre' metric is used as a volumetric target for CSO programs
    • In MS4 areas, the focus is on pollutant removal, measured by 'water quality volume'
    • DEP tracks various metrics, including water quality volume and stormwater management achievements
    • The department is working on developing more meaningful ways to relate these metrics to the public
