On May 26, 2023, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) issued an approval of WJWW’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). This Plan ensures WJWW’s compliance with strict NYC DEP rules and regulations for the protection of Kensico Reservoir/Rye Lake and its watershed, and protects against any additional stormwater impact on downstream properties that may be potentially caused by construction of the Water Filtration Plant.
On October 15, 2024, NYS DEC issued a Freshwater Wetlands Permit, which ensures the protection of the wetland adjacent to the project site.
On October 22, 2024, Town/Village of Harrison accepts WJWW’s SWPPP. This Plan includes erosion and sediment control measures during construction of the Water Filtration Plant, and installation of permanent constructed wetland, bioretention basin, and stormwater storage detention chambers.
