The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 1.1 billion gallons of high-quality drinking water, managing wastewater and stormwater, and reducing air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution. DEP is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the country, with nearly 6,000 employees. DEP's water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the system’s 2,000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City.

The DEP is required under a 2005 Order on Consent to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) from its sewer system to improve the water quality of its surrounding waters, such as Flushing Bay, Jamaica Bay, and tributaries to the East River, Long Island Sound, and Outer Harbor. Under the 2005 Consent Order, the DEP has completed Waterbody/Watershed Facility Plans, which are the initial phase of CSO planning, and are required to construct various grey infrastructure projects, and develop Long-Term Control Plans.

In March 2012, the New York State DEC and DEP signed a groundbreaking agreement to reduce CSOs using a hybrid green and gray infrastructure approach. DEP has been working with key public agency partners (such as NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, NYC Department of Education, NYC Housing Authority etc.) to implement green infrastructure retrofits on publicly owned land. This program is typically referred to as “Public On-site”.
