BMCR Without Drainage Intervention

Storm surge and sea

level rise decrease
the system’s ability to
discharge, leading to
street and basement
flooding.

BMCR With Drainage Intervention

The proposed drainage

system will allow
additional flow capacity
to the interceptor pipe,
reducing the risk of
street and basement
flooding.

North

The BMCR and ESCR drainage systems

will be connected so that stormwater flows
to the Manhattan Pump Station and gets
pumped to and treated at the Newtown
Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.
