About The Position

The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is responsible for providing high-quality drinking water, managing wastewater and stormwater, and reducing pollution. The Bureau of Environmental Planning and Analysis (BEPA) within DEP oversees the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) planning and implementation, including permitting and enforcement for construction and post-construction programs. The Stormwater Permitting Section specifically implements Chapter 19.1 of the NYC Rules and the construction/post-construction requirements of the MS4 permit. With updated MS4 Permit requirements, the City has lowered the soil disturbance threshold for projects requiring review and approval to 20,000 square feet and will enforce these rules in the combined sewer service area to reduce combined sewer overflows, leading to an expected increase in applications. This role is for a Deputy Director within the Stormwater Permitting Section.
