Review of the New York City Watershed Protection Program

Webinar

Public Briefing: Review of the New York City Watershed Protection Program

August 10, 2020

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET)

Past

About

Since the late 1990s, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection has implemented a comprehensive Watershed Protection Program to protect the upstate watershed that supplies about 1 billion gallons of drinking water a day to over 9 million people in New York City and surrounding suburbs. The overall program includes numerous individual programs that target potential sources of contamination to the water supply, including agriculture, stormwater, wastewater, and land use changes. In late 2018, a committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine commenced a review of the Watershed Protection Program, with the goal of determining whether the current suite of individual programs is appropriate and adequate to comply with the Surface Water Treatment Rule into the future.

Please join us on August 10th at 2 pm (EDT) for the release of the report: Review of the New York City Watershed Protection Program. The webinar will feature committee chair Dr. Paul Barten and several committee members. They will present a briefing of the report, followed by an online question and answer session. Registration is free but required. The report will be available for free download at the same time at www.nap.edu.

This briefing is being held completely online. No in-person attendance is available for this event. Please register to receive the connection details.

11:45–12:45 Committee-Only Working Lunch (other attendees get lunch on their own)

12:45–1:45 Reservoir Modeling

Rakesh Gelda, NYC DEP

Description of relevant current/past activities
How do current activities in water quality modeling contribute to the overall watershed protection strategy?
What specific models are used (W2, others?), and what scale are they run at?
Can used models account for parameters beyond turbidity?
Is uncertainty assessed in model predictions? If yes, what does the analysis show in terms of model limitations? If not, why? Has the use of a simple aggregated model what would allow for a relatively complete error analysis been considered (or would DEP be open to considering use)?

1:45–2:45 Watershed Modeling

Rajith Mukundan, NYC DEP

Description of relevant current/past activities
How do current activities in watershed modeling contribute to the overall watershed protection strategy?
At what scale is the modeling being done?
Why is SWAT the model of choice and what is the status of developing SWAT for additional watersheds beyond Cannonsville?

2:45–3:00 Break

3:00–4:00 Data Analysis in the Watershed Water Quality Monitoring Program

Jim Mayfield and Karen Moore, NYC DEP

Brief overview of the Watershed Water Quality Monitoring Program and how monitoring is designed to address specific objectives
Description of data-analysis strategies that have recently been undertaken to evaluate trends (at multi-decadal time scale) in ambient water quality in the streams, groundwater, soils, and reservoirs of the watershed
1. Major highlights of the trend analysis that have been done to date
2. How have trends been interpreted, and what are some of the observed trends that DEP has been unable to explain?
3. What has been done, and what is planned, for relating observed trends to watershed protection actions that have been undertaken? For example, for individual watersheds, what is known about the relationship between calculated load reductions from watershed protection actions and observed trends in transport?
4. What strategies for trend analysis are being considered for the future?
How do the ambient monitoring trend results feed back to the improvement of the various models that are being used to plan for and manage the Watershed Protection Program? This could also include plans for future efforts to have these results feed back to the models
What are the plans for communication to stakeholders and the scientific community about the observed trends in ambient data?
How are the ambient monitoring data stored, documented, and made available to research scientists within and outside of DEP? What, if any, processes are in place to facilitate and/or fund outside scientists to undertake interpretive analysis and research that is based on these data?

4:00–4:45 Overview of NYC DEP Riparian Buffer Protection Program

John Schwartz, NYC DEP

What programs target stream buffer protection?
What is the current condition of stream buffers in the WOH and EOH watershed?
What is required on private lands?
How are gaps/buffer needs identified?
Is buffer planting similar to other efforts (e.g. Chesapeake Bay approach)?
