Monitoring and reporting on the air quality around wastewater treatment plants.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to monitoring and reporting on the air quality around wastewater treatment plants

This bill would require an air quality monitoring program around wastewater treatment plants operated by DEP. The program would monitor hazardous air pollutants in the vicinity of the plants, including but not limited to greenhouse gases and airborne microorganisms. This bill would require DEP to report the program’s findings to the Council annually and post the report on the DEP website.
