Pursuant to the Decree, the City shall construct a water treatment facility to filter the drinking water it draws from surface water sources. The Decree requires the City to complete construction of the facility by April 30, 2010, pursuant to a schedule of eight interim construction milestones. The Decree further requires the City to implement a number of interim measures to protect the quality of its drinking water until the City has fully complied with the long term construction of the water treatment facility. For example, the Decree mandates ongoing monitoring of the water that the City obtains from surface water sources, as well as monthly reporting of the monitoring data to EPA, the State of New York and Orange County. The City will pay a $50,000 civil monetary penalty to the United States pursuant to the Decree. The City must also carry out an environmental project to conserve and improve the water quality in and around the City. Specifically, the City will implement an environmental project to collect the backwash water from the proposed water treatment plant for recycling to the head of the water treatment plant. The implementation of recycling will prevent the backwash from being discharged into the same surface water from which the City obtains its drinking water. The recycling project will also provide an alternative to discharging the filter backwash water into the City’s sanitary sewer system as under the current system, with the anticipated result that approximately 62 million gallons of water per year will be conserved. The value of this supplemental environmental project is estimated at $490,000.
