Development and implementation of the New York City Environmental Protection Agency (DEP) long-term management plan
The Long Term Management Plan (LTCP) is a strategy proposed by DEP and approved by the New York State Environmental Protection Agency (DEC) to reduce the drainage overflow to urban canals. DEC has approved seven of the eight LTCPs submitted by DEP so far, but in some cases increased time-varying projects. These changes led to another short-term opportunity for public comment last month.
Members of the council commented further comments in the LTCP implementation process and commented that some suggested solutions to reduce pollution such as chlorination could actually be a problem. They say that chlorine is toxic and corrosive and may cause carcinogenic byproducts.
The House of Councilors admired DEP Secretary Vincent Sapienza "I've been talking about LTCP for a long time."
However, "We appreciate the cooperation of DEP at the Supervisory Inquiry of the Environmental Protection Committee on December 13, 2017, but we must confirm that the dialogue should not be over, as members of the council It is temporary after assuming office. "

The design and consent of this compromise clause was not negotiated by any supporters or community members who supported the bill, including several families killed by the New York Police Station.

Who can confirm the mayor 's power? In addition to voters, the only true answer is the New York City Council. As mentioned above, the New York City Council is relatively weak compared to the mayor, but as the only legislature of the city it is still very important.
