Notice for the installation of bioswales or rain gardens.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to notice for the installation of bioswales or rain gardens

This bill would require the Department of Environmental Protection to provide notice to Council Members before DEP installs a bioswale in such Council Members’ districts. A bioswale, otherwise known as a “rain garden” is a form of green infrastructure where areas of sidewalks have planted areas that are designed to collect and manage storm water runoff.
