April 14th, 2015

Agenda

• Introduction

o NYC Department of Environmental Protection

• DEP Implementation

o Sustainability Program

o Applicability of Envision

o Lessons Learned

• Case Studies

o Wastewater Treatment Plant

o Drinking Water Tunnel

Water Supply

• Deliver one billion gallons of drinking water per day to nine million New Yorkers

• Manage 19 reservoirs and three controlled lakes with a storage capacity of 580 billion gallons

• Protect water quality to maintain our Filtration Avoidance Determination

Water Distribution & Wastewater Collection

• Deliver and collect water through 7,000 miles of water mains and 7,400 miles of sewers

• Maintain more than 109,000 fire hydrants and 148,000 catch basins

Wastewater Treatment

• Treat an average of 1.3 billion gallons of wastewater per day

• Operate 14 in-city wastewater treatment plants

Sustainability

• Implement the NYC Green Infrastructure Plan

• Accelerate regulatory reform to incorporate sustainability principles into clean water regulations and initiatives

• Monitor and protect the water quality of New York Harbor

Capital Construction

• Manage $16 billion of projects in construction or design

• Provide in-house engineering and design services to DEP’s water supply, distribution, and treatment divisions

• Provide information to the public through DEP’s capital projects website

PlaNYC

• Launched 2007, Updated 2011• 25 Agencies• 132 initiatives:

• Housing & Neighborhoods• Parks and Public Spaces• Brownfields• Waterways• Water Supply• Transportation• Energy • Air Quality• Solid Waste• Climate Change

Including:• 30% GHG Reduction• 30% Energy Reduction• 75% Solid Waste Diversion

NYC Green Codes

LOCAL LAWS

• LL 84: Benchmarking

• LL 85: NYC Energy Conservation Code

• LL 86: Minimum Sustainability Requirements for New and Existing Construction

• LL 87: Energy Audits and Retro-commissioning

• LL 88: Lighting Upgrades & Sub-metering

One City, Built to Last

Transforming New York City for a Low-Carbon Future

• Launched September 2014

• Goal: reduce city-wide emissions by 80% by 2050

Guiding Strategies:

• Expand financing options for energy efficiency projects

• Increase energy performance standards for new construction and renovations

• Install 100 MW of onsite renewable energy at City owned facilities

Water Infrastructure Needs - Downward Spiral

System ages and shows signs of degradation.Occasional breaks

and leaks occur. Leakage stresses

system components. Components nearing design life. Failure of pipe joints, hydrants, and valves.

With no measurable capital improvements the cycle continues.

Increase in leakage undermines pipe

bedding and decreases structural

integrity.

Project Delivery System

What is a PDS?• A tool for all managers project

staff.

• Procedures to guide the project planning and execution.

• System to project implementation is consistent.

• The PDS includes many requirements, but is a guide. Not all projects will fit the mold.

Lessons Learned

• Training:

– Online Training

– In-Person Classes

– Project Specific Workshops

• Communication:

– Engineers need to convey what they are designing to the public

• Adapt:

– Understand changes in the social-political environment that impacts projects

• Infrastructure

– Justify our spending, no matter what the project is

• How does your City/Agency/Company compare Nationally? Globally?

BEDC Sustainability Policy.Incorporates the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability into the execution of capital projects

Measures performance to ensure that we meet or exceed the goals of PlaNYC and local laws

Identifies opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption as a result of a project’s design and construction

Identifies risks associated with climate change and provides mitigation and adaptation solutions for DEP assets

Improves long-term reliability of our facilities through cost-effective design solutions that are integrated with the community, environment and the greater network of DEP facilities

Reduces environmental impacts of our operations through resource allocation, reduction of waste streams, and environmentally responsible business practices.

Complies with relevant legislation, while striving to achieve internationally accepted best practices
