Watershed Protection Program
Summary and Assessment

This report has been drafted to comply with Section 5.1 of the November 2002 Filtration Avoidance Determination (FAD), which requires that the City submit a Comprehensive Water Quality/Program Evaluation Report to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by March 31, 2006. The purpose of this report is to summarize the achievements of the programs that comprise the City's overall watershed protection program; to review water quality status and trends in the Catskill/Delaware basins; and, where possible, to demonstrate the link between program activities and changes in water quality.

The report is divided into two main sections: Chapter 2 provides short summaries of the accomplishments of each of the watershed protection programs for the past five years; and Chapters 3, 4 and 5 use monitoring results and modeling to assess current water quality and evaluate the effectiveness of some of those programs.
