Requiring the department of environmental protection to conduct a green climate screen pilot project.

A Local Law in relation to requiring the department of environmental protection to conduct a green climate screen pilot project

This bill would require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in consultation with the Department of Design and Construction, to implement a two-year pilot project to install five green climate screens in areas of the city that are within both flood-prone neighborhoods and disadvantaged communities. The bill would also require DEP to collect data on the stormwater capture and noise mitigation of such green climate screens, and report on such data, including any plans to expand the pilot program.
