Project Progress for the Month of June
Report from Commissioner Great progress continues to be made by the Department in regards to complying with the mandates of the 4th Stipulation to the ACJ. The Metro WWTP continues to successfully meet the 4th Stipulation total phosphorus effluent limit of 0.10 mg/l. Staff and consultants continue to work on the Metro Phosphorus Optimization Project which is designed to identify "how good" Metro's phosphorus treatment can be. A great deal has been learned about the existing treatment system ‐ this knowledge will be invaluable in the future operations and system. That same team is concurrently working on the Metro Phosphorus Treatment Workplan which, amongst other things, will identify what potential additional measures will be needed at Metro for meeting the ACJ stage III phosphorus limit of 0.02 mg/l. The final reports for those two projects are due to the DEC by 8/31/11 and 12/31/11, respectively. Any enhancements to Metro's existing phosphorus treatment system will be dictated by the findings of the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study currently being done by the NYSDEC. Department staff were also actively engaged with NYSDEC staff in regards to regulatory approval for several mandated ACJ 4th Stipulation reports, including: a revised Ambient Monitoring Program Plan; CSO Facilities Plan; Floatables Control Facilities Plan; and the 2010 ACJ Annual Report. Moreover, staff and contracted consultants responded to various NYSDEC and ASLF comment letters on large‐ scale CSO abatement projects. The Department is anticipating approval of the foregoing within the next two months. Stakeholder participation continues to be integral to the Department's grey and green program ‐ making sure to solicit and appropriately incorporate their ideas and react to concerns. Much praise has been offered for the public participation meetings conducted in the month of June for the Midland 044 and Harbor Brook Wetland projects. This month's activities also included the planning of several upcoming public participation sessions for the upcoming months. As evidenced by the enclosed new Fact Sheets, impressive progress continues to be made for the County's Save the Rain "Project 50" campaign. With 13 GIF projects completed and/or under construction and 19 non‐GIF projects completed and/or under construction, we are well on our way for meeting the County Executive's goal. It was learned that the recent Midland 044 sewer surcharging incident, resulting in basement flooding of eight neighborhood residents, was a result of incorrect sewer mapping. The county will be pursuing a modification with the project contractor, J.J. Lane, for the remedial work done. The one resident that was relocated from their apartment has returned to their residence. Additionally, all clean‐up efforts for the other affected residents have been satisfactorily completed. I am very pleased and proud of the progress made in June. _____________________________ Michael J. Lannon P.E. Acting Commissioner

FACT SHEET Clinton CSO Storage Facility
Project: Clinton CSO Storage Project Location: Trolley Lot, Syracuse Project Owner: Onondaga County Sewer shed: Clinton/Lower MIS Technology: Storage Tunnel Capacity: 6 Million Gallons (MG) Annual CSO Capture: 114 MG # CSOs Abated: 8 Completion date: December 31, 2013 Project Cost: $73.6 million (est.) Bid Date: July 14, 2011 Prime Contractor: TBD
Project Description: The Clinton CSO Storage Facility Project is a 6 million gallon combined sewer overflow storage facility that will be constructed in the parking area between the elevated rail tracks and Onondaga Creek just south of the Armory Square area of downtown Syracuse (formerly known as the Trolley Lot). During wet weather events, the facility’s three, parallel 18‐foot diameter, underground storage tunnels will capture flow from 8 combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in the vicinity of the Former Trolley Lot. The wastewater will be stored in the tunnels until it can be conveyed via the Main Interceptor Sewer to the Syracuse Metropolitan Sewage Treatment Plant (Metro) for treatment. The off‐site conveyance piping which will transmit the flow to the facility was installed under the Clinton CSO Phase 1 and 2A Conveyances Projects completed in 2009. There will be additional on‐site conveyance piping installed under this project to connect the existing sewers to the new facility. In addition to the tunnels there will be two above ground structures located at either end (east and west) of the parking lot which provide access to the tunnels and house the pumping, grit collection and odor control facilities Green Components: To further enhance the sustainability of the facility, the project includes green infrastructure components. The stormwater runoff from the entire site that measures approximately 275,000 square feet (SF) or 6.3 acres will be managed by green infrastructure. The stormwater from the area surrounding the main structure on the western half of the site will be collected by a series of catch basins and storm water piping that will outfall into two bio‐retention basins. The bio‐retention basins will allow the stormwater to infiltrate into the ground rather than immediately runoff to the creek. In addition, stormwater runoff from the eastern half of the project site, to be restored as a parking area, will be directed to a subsurface collection facility and used to flush the storage tunnels to clear them of grit and debris that may have settled or been left behind after the stored combined sewage was transmitted to Metro. In addition a green roof will be installed on the west building. .

FACT SHEET CSO Area 022 and 045 Sewer Separation Project
Project Description: In 2000, the separations of 13 separate CSO basins were designed to the 95% stage. The CSO areas represented basins whose full separation would be cost effective compared to other CSO abatement technologies. The remaining basins where the full separation has not been constructed were CSO Areas 022 and 045. CSO Area 022 is located in downtown Syracuse and the tributary sewers are located in North Franklin, West Genesee and Willow Streets. The proposed work to be performed includes 2,000 linear feet (LF) of new sanitary sewer; 800 LF of sewer lining; and twenty (20) internal building separations. CSO Area 045 is located south of downtown Syracuse with the outfall at the intersection of West Castle Street, Hudson Street and Onondaga Creek. The combined sewage tributary to this outfall is conveyed by combined sewers located in Crescent and Hudson Streets. The proposed work to be performed includes: 700 LF of new storm sewer in Hudson and Crescent Streets, 1200 LF of sewer lining to convert the existing combined sewers in Crescent and Hudson Streets to sanitary sewers and rehabilitation of the existing sanitary sewer in Rich Street between Hudson and Onondaga Creek; and one (1) private property separation. Green Components: The County has successfully applied its “Greening the Gray” mission to the project through the implementation of Green Infrastructure as it related to the reconstruction of the Pocket Park on the corner of West Genesee and North Clinton Streets. The park had fallen into disrepair due to settlement issues and will be rehabilitated with green components under the CSO 022 project. CSO 045 Project Area

Bid Date: September 21, 2010 Prime Contractor: J.J. Lane
Project Description The CSO 044 Conveyances Project provides for the transmission of wet weather flow from CSO 044, which discharges to Onondaga Creek at South Avenue and West Castle Street, to the Midland Regional Treatment Facility (RTF) on the south side of Syracuse. Conveyance of the combined sewer flow to the Midland RTF will be via approximately 500 linear feet of 96‐inch diameter pipeline between the terminus of the 144‐inch pipeline installed under the Midland Phase Two RTF and Conveyances Project to CSO 044. Green Components: In addition to the pipeline the project will include the construction of a new regulator structure in South Avenue, and two conveyance flushing chambers. The “Greening the Gray” components incorporated include the utilization of captured storm water for the flushing chambers, the installation of rain gardens for storm water infiltration, and an educational interpretive walkway. .

FACT SHEET Harbor Brook Interceptor Sewer (HBIS) Replacement and CSO Abatement Project
HBIS Replacement & CSO Abatement Project Location: Harbor Brook Corridor from Fayette to Velasko Project Owner: Onondaga County Sewer shed: Harbor Brook Technology: Interceptor Replacement Annual CSO Capture: 36 MG CSOs Addressed: 9 Completion date: December 31, 2011 Project Cost: $22.9 million (est.) Bid Date: November 2, 2009 Prime Contractor: J.J. Lane Construction
Project Description: The HBIS Replacement Project provides for a much needed upgrade to the existing Harbor Brook Interceptor between West Fayette Street and Velasko Road on the west side of Syracuse. This length of the interceptor sewer conveys dry weather flow and a portion of the combined flow from CSOs 009, 010, 011, 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, and 018 for conveyance to Metro for treatment. The existing interceptor is a U‐shaped cast‐in‐place concrete pipe constructed in the 1920’s and has fallen into disrepair. Due to the shape and age of the HBIS, flow restrictions have developed which have decreased capacity and increased infiltration in some areas. The project includes the installation of 7,600 linear feet (LF) of new HBIS ranging in size from 18‐ to 36‐inches in diameter, 1,500 LF of new local sewers, rehabilitation of 860 LF of 30‐inch brick sewer, installation of 4 new regulator manholes, and rehabilitation or replacement of 2500 LF of Harbor Brook Culvert. In addition, during construction the available funding allowed CSO Areas 013 and 016 to be completely separated which will increase CSO capture and eliminate two CSO discharge points. As a result the capture projection for this project is anticipated to be 0.9% or 36 MG. Green Components: In addition the County has successfully applied its “Greening the Gray” mission to the HBIS Replacement Project. The GI components incorporated into this gray construction project include the installation of approximately 40 enhanced tree basins with infiltration zones and the construction of a bio‐retention area that will manage stormwater runoff from an area of approximately 3.2 acres. The enhanced tree basins will be located on Hartson, Herriman and Hoeffler Streets in the Skunk City area of Syracuse. The bio‐retention area will be located at the corner of Grand Avenue and Delaware Street and will contain a series of rain gardens and bio‐retention swales which will collect off‐ site runoff from impervious areas and manage the on‐site stormwater as well. The site will have a “park‐like” setting with an educational theme.

Bid Date: Not Yet Bid Prime Contractor: TBD
Project Description: The Lower Harbor Brook CSO Conveyances and Storage Facility Project is a 4.9 million gallon combined sewer overflow storage facility that will be located on County owned property on State Fair Boulevard between Hiawatha Blvd. and West Genesee Street in the City of Syracuse. The facility will capture and store the overflows from CSO’s 003, 004 and 063 for up to the 1‐year, 2‐hour design storm event. After the storm event subsides, the contents of the Storage Tank will be pumped to the existing Harbor Brook Interceptor Sewer for conveyance to the Metropolitan Treatment Plant (Metro) for full treatment. The project also includes construction of CSO conveyance pipelines on State Fair Blvd., Hiawatha Blvd. and Erie Blvd. to convey combined sewage from the overflow regulators to the storage tanks during rainfall and snowmelt events. Floatables and grit removal will be included in this facility. Odor control provisions will be incorporated into the facility design and the tank will be completely enclosed. Green Components: To further enhance the sustainability of the facility, the project includes green infrastructure components. The stormwater runoff from the rooftops of the storage tank and controls building will be stored within the CSO storage tank and used for a second and third cleaning flush of the tank. This water will ultimately be treated at Metro eliminating the need for this stormwater to be treated on‐site. The stormwater storage is designed to capture the 100‐year storm (5.2 inches) from the tank and the control building rooftop.

FACT SHEET Street Tree Plantings Project Description: Tree canopy coverage is vital for urban storm water management, as trees capture and store rainwater in their canopies and root zones, eventually releasing this water over time into the atmosphere through evapotranspiration. Trees also help to slow down and temporarily store storm water runoff due to their physical presence and the ability of tree roots to improve soil conditions to promote infiltration. Urban trees also provide a host of other community benefits including those related to aesthetics, air quality, shading, property values, and energy.

FACT SHEET Syracuse City School District Institute of Technology Project Description: The storm water retrofit project at the Syracuse City School District (SCSD) Institute of Technology, located at the intersection of E. Genesee Str. and Fellows Ave., is part of the ongoing collaboration between Onondaga County, the SCSD and the City of Syracuse. The school was originally built in 1900 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The project features sewer separation with water quality treatment as part of an overall renovation and expansion at this site which includes parking lot resurfacing and a new building addition to the main facility. Sewer separation involves the installation of new pipelines to specifically collect and transmit storm water to the nearest water body, while the existing sewer pipeline remains in place to solely convey sewage to a treatment plant. The two separated pipe networks greatly alleviate the amount of storm water that enters the sewer system and allows greater management of wet-weather flow.

The “Save the Rain” Green Improvement Program (GIF) was initiated in March 2010 to provide financial assistance for the installation of Green Infrastructure (GI) projects on eligible privately owned properties (commercial/business/not‐for‐profit owned properties) in the Clinton, Harbor Brook, and Midland combined sewer sheds. The program has been a tremendous success in reducing storm water runoff from privately owned property, as well as increased the visibility/awareness of the “Save the Rain” program. The 2011 version of GIF (Version 2.0) will place a stronger emphasis on the gallons captured by a project, and less emphasis on the project size or number of parcels. Language in the Program Description and Application documents have been modified to better articulate program requirements and streamline the application process/committee review. GIF 2.0 also includes a modified “calculator” – which is the tool that was originally developed to evaluate typical maximum costs for GI projects and therefore funding ceilings for applications. The new calculator includes better unit price data, based on information obtained in the 2010 construction season, as well as a maximum funding limit based on gallons captured. Although the new calculator streamlines application evaluation through more uniform funding criteria, when processing the last year’s worth of applications – we do not find the new formula to provide grossly different results. The 2011 version is the next step in enhancing the GIF program and implementing policies that improve efficiency. The GIF committee and leadership will continue to monitor the program to ensure the program is operating effectively.
FACT SHEET Dunbar Association Project Description: The green infrastructure project at the Dunbar Center, located near the intersection of East Castle and South State Streets, converted approximately 18,600 square feet of impervious area that drained directly to combined sewers in the Midland sewer district. The project included conversion of an existing 12,800 square feet parking lot and driveway area from a total impervious area to a combination of conventional asphalt and porous concrete. The parking lot was designed to collect storm water in the center of the lot and allow runoff to be collected in a porous concrete strip in the center island. Additionally, storm water run-off from the roof was diverted to the porous parking lot to prevent discharge to the sewer system.

FACT SHEET King + King Architects Project Description: As part of a complete building renovation for the new King & King Architects building located at the northeastern corner of West Street and West Jefferson Street in downtown Syracuse, a partial green roof system was installed. The project integrated a comprehensive vegetated roof system for approximately 11,200 square feet of roof surface on the property. The building required the installation of a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing layer with a structural reinforcement system to allow green roof loading. The new green roof installation covers approximately 30% of the actual roof area, while capturing 100% of the roof run-off that previously drained to the combined sewer system. The impervious portion of the new roof drains into green space located on the north side of the building, which has been re-established with native and adaptive wildflowers and grasses to promote storm water infiltration. The King + King building have been certified as LEED Platinum facility by the U.S. Green Building Council and is the first facility in Onondaga County to achieve this status.

Grantees can contact OCDWEP via the contact information below: Department of Water Environment Protection ATTN: GIF Program 650 Hiawatha Boulevard West Syracuse, NY 13204 315-435-2260 Green Infrastructure Technology Definitions A Green roof is a flat or nearly flat roof of a building that is partially or completely covered with vegetation and soil or a growing medium, planted over a waterproof membrane. Green roofs are used for storm water management and energy savings, as well as for aesthetic benefits. Green roofs absorb storm water and release some of it back into the atmosphere through evaporation and plant transpiration, while reducing urban temperatures. A green roof typically includes installation of an approximately two to sixinch deep system consisting of a root anti-penetration layer, a drainage layer, a water filtration fabric, a growing medium and drought-tolerant living plants designed to be low-maintenance.(Includes capture attained utilizing a roof garden application). Bioswales (or vegetated swales or rain gardens) are area wide, shallow channels with a dense stand of vegetation covering the side slopes and bottom. Swales can be natural or constructed and are designed to promote infiltration, reduce the flow velocity of storm water runoff and maximize the amount of time water spends in the swale, which also aids in trapping particulate pollutants and silt. Bioswales are commonly used around parking lots. Variations on vegetated swale systems, such as rain gardens, bioretention basins and bio-infiltration systems may also be funded under this grant. Porous Pavement (also known as pervious paving or permeable pavement), is a term used to describe paving material and methods for driveways, parking lots, sidewalks and pathways that allow precipitation to infiltrate through the paving material to the soil below. Porous paving materials available today include: porous asphalt, porous concrete, pavers or bricks and other proprietary materials produced using a stone aggregate and a binding product. Cisterns are large receptacles for holding rainwater/runoff that are connected to a collection system on a nearby building/structure. Rainwater can be stored in the cisterns and may be reused to water gardens and lawns. Cisterns may range in capacity from about 50 gallons to thousands of gallons. Revised 5/31/2011 4
Tree Trenches/Tree Planter Boxes are designed to hold one or more trees and are built to capture and store additional storm water runoff to keep runoff out of streets and sewers and provide water for the trees. They can be connected to a nearby facility’s gutter system or placed along streets, between streets and sidewalks. Trenches may include amended soils, aggregate for storage and infiltration, perforated pipe for distribution and geotextile lining to enclose the trench. Storm water Planters are deep planting boxes that receive roof runoff releasing it to a conveyance system, cistern or groundwater. Storm water planters can be raised or flush with the surrounding landscape. Vegetation in the planter usually is comprised of perennials and/or small shrubs. Storm water planters are generally not recommended for treatment of road or parking lot runoff.
