GREEN PROJECTS UPDATE



Green Projects Update This construction season, progress has continued on several Save the Rain projects that are underway. Construction of Phases 2 and 3, the final phases of the Connective Corridor project, were completed during this quarter along East Genesee and East Fayette Streets through Downtown Syracuse. The project was a comprehensive reconstruction of these streets in partnership with Syracuse University and the City of Syracuse and a continuation of earlier phases of the project constructed in 2011 and 2013. The green infrastructure elements installed as part of the project include porous pavers in parking lanes and snow storage areas and enhanced tree pits. In total, the green infrastructure installed in Phases 2 and 3 captures approximately 10.6 million gallons annually. Overall, the green infrastructure practices in the combined three phases of the Connective Corridor captures over 26 million gallons annually. Construction began on the Southwest Community Center project this quarter. The project includes a reconstruction of the Community Center’s parking lot with porous pavement and an underground infiltration trench. Construction is anticipated to be completed at the community center by November 2015. The design for the Green Separation in CSO 052 project has progressed during the third quarter. A new stormwater management system will be constructed on the former Garzone’s Restaurant property to manage ponding on-site, as well as additional stormwater from Cornell and South avenues. A separate storm sewer will be constructed on Mitchell Avenue between South Avenue and Armstrong Place that will capture road runoff from Mitchell Avenue. The proposed project will provide the dual benefit of managing stormwater runoff into the combined sewer system and reducing localized flooding episodes in the neighborhood. A design review public meeting was held on the evening of September 22, where residents provided feedback on the current design and were informed of the anticipated schedule for construction of the project in 2016. The design of the State Street Green Corridor project began during the third quarter. The project is funded in part by a Water Quality Improvement Project grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and includes several green infrastructure practices to be installed along State Street in three different segments; Taylor St. to Adams St., Fayette St. to Water St., and James St. to Salina St. Design will continue through fall and winter with construction planned to begin during Spring 2016. The Green Planning Committee (GPC) continues to make progress in strategic green infrastructure planning. Through the work of the GPC, several road reconstruction project opportunities in the CSO060 and 077 sewersheds have been developed with preliminary design starting during the quarter. Additionally, the GPC is working with the County and City in planning a green street in the Butternut Circle corridor. Planning efforts for future projects will continue with a focus in CSOs 029 and 067.

Project Description: The final phases of the Connective Corridor (Phases 2 and 3) were constructed throughout 2014 and 2015. The project exemplified the continued partnership of Onondaga County with the City of Syracuse and Syracuse University. The green infrastructure installed on the project includes porous pavers in parking lanes and snow storage areas, tree pits, and underground infiltration trenches. Also included in the project is the manufactured treatment device providing water quality treatment for the West Fayette Street Sewer Separation project that was completed in 2013. The green infrastructure installed on Phases 2 and 3 of the Connective Corridor captures runoff from streets, adjacent hardscapes and upstream areas; a total of 623,000 square feet of drainage area. This equates to an estimated 10,975,000 gallons of stormwater capture annually, making this project one of the largest projects in the Save the Rain Program to date. These final two phases will complete the Connective Corridor. Phase 1 and Forman Park included similar green infrastructure and were completed in 2011 and 2013, respectively. In addition to providing significant runoff reduction for the Save the Rain Program, the Corridor also creates a valuable link between the Downtown and University communities. In total, the three phases of the Connective Corridor capture an estimated 26 million gallons of stormwater annually.

Project Description: The Harbor Brook CSO 018 Constructed Wetlands Pilot Treatment System serves dual purposes of treating overflows from CSO 018, currently discharged into Harbor Brook, while also acting as a demonstration project to test the effectiveness of three types of constructed wetland treatment systems (floating wetland island, vertical down flow, and surface water treatment wetlands). In 2011, the Compensatory Storage portion of the work was completed. Construction of the pilot wetlands treatment system began in 2012, and the system was put online in April of 2015. Based on the knowledge gained from this pilot project, these wetland systems may be integrated as part of a larger constructed wetland treatment system along Harbor Brook with additional water quality, natural habitat, recreational, educational, and other community benefits. The project is located within the approximately 34 contiguous acres of Onondaga County owned land known as the Velasko Road Detention Basin. This constructed wetland pilot project treats approximately 14.9 million gallons of combined sewage each year and substantially improves the quality of the stormwater discharge into Harbor Brook.

Project Description: The Green Roof at the Magnarelli Community Center highlights the continued partnership of the Save the Rain program with the City of Syracuse Parks Department. This project is the first green roof constructed on City Parks’ property, and the tenth overall Green Park project in the Save the Rain program to date. As part of the partnership on this project, the City Parks Department funded the cost of re-roofing the Community Center, while the Save the Rain program funded the cost of the green roof system.

Two separate green roofs were installed at the Community Center. One was installed on the roof above the gymnasium and the other on a lower roof. The vegetated portion of the green roof consists of a low-growing sedum mat that features many vibrant colors throughout the year. The green roof system at the Magnarelli Community Center captures approximately 183,000 gallons of stormwater annually.

Sewershed: Midland CSO: 052 GI Technology: Detention/Slow Release and Storm FACT SHEET Sewer Separation Green Separation CSO 052 Capture Area: 241,706 sq. ft. Runoff Reduction: 1,241,900 gal/yr (estimated) Mitchell Avenue Year Contracted: TBD Bid Cost: TBD Project Description: Contractor: TBD This project will be accomplished through the collaborative efforts of Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. Historically, the area around the proposed detention basin has been prone to severe flooding throughout the year. This is due, in part, to years of illegal dumping that impacted the natural groundwater flow patterns. The County and the City have partnered to help limit this problem through the installation of a slow-release stormwater detention basin. Additionally, the County is undertaking a storm sewer separation project on Mitchell Avenue to separate stormwater from the existing combined sewer system. The primary goal of the project is to reduce the volume of stormwater that flows into the combined sewer system along South, Cornell, and Mitchell avenues, all within CSO 052. The secondary goal is to reduce the level of flooding experienced in this area. The new detention/slow release facility will be constructed on property owned by the City of Syracuse and will capture runoff from South and Cornell avenues as well as from the City’s property. The facility will have the capacity to store 1,051,000 gallons of stormwater during rain events. The stormwater will be slowly released to the Armstrong Place sewer system. It is expected that the detention/slow release facility will improve the stormwater management and drainage in this area and lessen the effects of flooding onto residential properties that adjoin the City property. Additionally, runoff from Mitchell Avenue will be collected in a new storm sewer and redirected to the west to the existing Corcoran High School stormwater detention basin which discharges into Furnace Brook. Over 240,000 square feet of drainage area will be improved and managed, resulting in a total runoff reduction of over 1 million gallons annually.

Project Description: This project exemplifies the continued partnership between Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse through the Save the Rain Program. The Southwest Community Center (SWCC) parking lot was extremely deteriorated, which rendered a significant portion of the lot unusable and in need of immediate repair. The existing parking lot will be removed and a new, improved parking lot will be constructed in its place. The new parking lot includes porous asphalt and infiltration stone which facilitates the infiltration of stormwater, reducing the amount of runoff from the site into the sewer system. Also, in order to maximize the stormwater capture benefit of the project, runoff from Lincoln Avenue and Clover Street is also directed into the parking lot infiltration bed. In total, 44,000 square feet of drainage area will be managed by the green infrastructure within the parking lot.

SWCC Parking Lot Condition Before Construction

The SWCC campus will also be enhanced with new plantings along Clover Street that will also decrease the Community Center’s maintenance efforts. The new plantings include cone flowers, coral bells, and creeping phlox, among others, which will significantly reduce the square footage of green space that SWCC is required to mow. Construction is expected to be substantially complete in November 2015. Upon completion, the green infrastructure elements installed at the SWCC will capture approximately 803,000 gallons of stormwater annually.

Project Description: The State Street Green Corridor project is a comprehensive green street application on South State Street between Burt and East Adams streets, between East Fayette and East Water streets and along North State Street between James and North Salina streets. This project demonstrates green infrastructure applications at key points along the State Street corridor to capture stormwater and enhance the urban streetscape in this area. The project will incorporate enhanced tree plantings in the right-ofway; installation of porous pavers in parking lanes; use of infiltration trenches and planters; and traditional bioretention measures and landscape features throughout project boundaries along the State Street corridor.

Additionally, parking bump outs will be installed at key intersections to enhance the pedestrian space in those areas and provide greater definition of parking lanes. This project will be funded in part by the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation through their Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP) Program. In 2015, the County received a WQIP grant of $1.8 million for the project.

Project Description: The Green Improvement Fund (GIF) project at Auto Row Realty is located at 741-745 West Genesee Street. The site will now serve as additional parking for the Crest Acura dealership facility. Much of the site consisted of impervious areas, which produced large amounts of stormwater runoff. In order to manage the property runoff from the large impervious surfaces, Crest Acura partnered with the Save the Rain Program to implement green infrastructure elements on site. The project features a 16,014 square feet parking area that was converted from standard asphalt porous asphalt. The porous asphalt will now manage runoff from 15,800 square feet of impervious drainage area in addition to the porous surface area. The plumbing system within the building was modified to direct the roof runoff to the stone storage beneath the porous asphalt. In addition to the porous asphalt installation, the project removed approximately 2,380 square feet of pavement, converting it into a grass lawn.

Project Description: The Hickory Street parking lot project is one of two Green Improvement Fund (GIF) projects at St. Joseph’s Hospital and is located at 410 Hickory Street. St. Joseph’s Hospital has been providing services to patients throughout the City of Syracuse since 1869. The project included a demolition of a vacant building to provide space for more parking. As an effort to manage the stormwater runoff in this large impervious area, St. Joseph’s partnered with the Save the Rain Program to implement green infrastructure elements on site. The stormwater runoff is captured through a series of underground storage chambers and infiltration stone. Stormwater entering the system is directed into the storage chambers beneath the parking area where it is stored until it infiltrates back into the ground. The project also incorporated tree plantings throughout the perimeter of the parking area to provide water quantity and quality benefits as well as aesthetics.

Tributary Annual Loading Estimates (2014) Percent contributions to 2014 total load to Onondaga Lake for two key water quality constituents (a) total phosphorus (TP) and (b) fecal coliform (FC) bacteria tracked as part of the AMP are presented in a graphical format. The largest total phosphorus (TP) and total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) loads to Onondaga Lake were delivered by the two largest tributaries, Onondaga Creek (46%) and Ninemile Creek (27%). The TDP fraction is a better representation of bioavailable forms than is total phosphorus, as a large portion of particulate phosphorus is typically unavailable to support algal growth. In an effort to reduce phosphorus levels in stormwater runoff, New York State restricted the use of phosphorus fertilizer on lawns and non-agricultural turf beginning January 1, 2012. The primary sources of fecal coliform (FC) bacteria loads in 2014 were Onondaga Creek (35%) and Ninemile Creek (29%).

Onondaga Lake Water Quality Phosphorus New York State has promulgated a narrative standard for phosphorus in water: “None in amounts that will result in growths of algae, weeds and slimes that will impair the waters for their best usages” (NYSCRR §703.2). For ponded waters the narrative standard is interpreted using a guidance value of 20μg/L calculated as the average total phosphorus concentration in the lake’s upper waters between June 1 and September 30. The phosphorus total maximum daily load (TMDL) target is a numeric endpoint that ensures protection of the designated best uses of a water body. The AMP tracks the summer average total phosphorus (TP) concentration in the lake’s upper waters. The ultimate measure of the success of the Onondaga Lake Phosphorus TMDL is the extent to which the in-lake total phosphorus criteria and beneficial uses are achieved.


Chlorophyll-a The summer average chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration in the upper waters of the lake was 8.5 µg/L in 2014, somewhat lower than the 2013 average of 9.1 µg/L. The average and peak concentrations of this measure of algal biomass have declined substantially since the phosphorus treatment upgrade at Metro in 2005. According to the criteria adopted by the AMP (15 µg/L and 30 µg/L for minor and major blooms, respectively), and based on weekly laboratory measurements, one minor algal bloom was identified in 2015 (to-date) in Onondaga Lake during the summer recreational period (defined as JuneSeptember). The infrequent occurrence of algal blooms in Onondaga Lake stands in contrast to the widespread occurrence of blue-green harmful algal blooms in lakes across New York State (see http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/77118.html for more information). Most algae are harmless and are an important part of the food web. Certain types can become abundant and form blooms under the right conditions. Some algae can produce toxins that can be harmful to people and animals (referred to collectively as harmful algal blooms (HABs)).

Onondaga Lake Biology Changes in the fish communities of Onondaga Lake In Onondaga Lake, adult species richness (i.e., number of species) collected during adult sampling events has gradually increased since 2000 largely as a result of in improved wastewater treatment technology. A total of 26 adult species were captured during the adult survey in 2014, the highest reported value since 2000 with the exception of 2013 at which time 26 species also were captured. Minor fluctuations in species richness over the past six years is primarily due to the incidental catches of uncommon species such as Black Bullhead, White Bass, Quillback, and the introduction of invasive species such as Round Goby. Onondaga Lake is part of the Seneca River system, which provides a corridor for fish movement between the lake and the waterways connected to the Seneca River as evident based on tag


returns since 2000. Since the monitoring program started in 2000, 53 species have been identified in the lake by Onondaga County.

White Bass captured from Onondaga Lake.

Overall trends in catch rates have varied by species since 2000 (Figure 1). Several species including Smallmouth Bass, White Perch, and Channel Catfish have had reduced catch rates over the past several years, while other species such as White Sucker and Walleye had less variation in catch rates. However, catch rates of several species including Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Yellow Perch have generally increased since 2000 with consistently higher Catch per unit effort (CPUE) since 2007 (Figure 1). These patterns likely reflect the changing habitats in the lake including increased macrophyte coverage, increased mussel abundance, and changes in the fish community associated with Alewife. Species such as Gizzard Shad, are susceptible to winter induced mortality and commonly show variations in yearly catch rates at the periphery of their geographic range, most notably during long, harsh winters. It is likely that the reasons for changes in abundance are more complex and species-specific and reflect changes in overall lake productivity as well as increased littoral zone habitat diversity.

Eighty Syracuse-area middle school students have spent the past week gathering water and soil samples, catching insects, observing fish, and studying mud boils in Tully to learn more about the Onondaga Lake watershed. It’s the tenth year of Honeywell's Summer Science Week, which is organized by the Museum of Science and Technology. Solvay 8th grader Sidney Chafee wants to go into marine biology or a related field. She enjoyed learning about the restoration of the lake’s wetlands after decades of pollution. "Now we're planting things so we grow more wildlife. More birds and fish are coming. There's a lot more of an ecosystem. Mother nature is taking over, and it's just going to be a lot more pleasant to come, people will want to swim here, and it'll smell a lot better, because I live right down the road...it's terrible." Chafee isn’t deterred by the extra work it might take to pursue a career in marine science. Shakeem Ellick is about to enter Corcoran High School’s International Baccalaureate program, and science has always been on his career radar.


"Science has always been one of my favorite subjects. And this helps. I always figured I should be a lawyer, doctor, or scientist. Since I'm doing this, I want to be a scientist even more. I try and do anything extra to help me." Science week organizer and MoST Exhibits Project Manager Peter Plumley couldn’t agree more. He says the intense week of fields study, interactive experiments and data collection gives the students an experience and advantage that so few will ever have. "When they get done with this and go in the 9th grade, they know they can do science. They sit in the classroom and hear the teacher talk about stuff, and say, geez, I've done that. I bet this teacher hasn't done it! She's just reading it! That gives them a real sense of accomplishment and ownership."

Plumley says he’s tracked down some of the 8th graders from 2006 who graduated from college last year. He was gratified to learn a large number of them attended good schools and studied the stem subjects. One of those students appears to be on a similar path. Rebecca Rolnick will be a SUNY ESF freshman this fall majoring in conservation biology. She volunteered this week as a counselor for the 8th graders. But she has the unique perspective of participating in science week a few years ago as a middle schooler herself…


"When I went to the camp, they were talking about how they were just going to start the dredging of the lake. And now that's finished. Now they're working on more of the restoration. A lot of the plants and animals have started to come back, and the community has been really involved in it over the past few years. That's really great to see." Rolnick says she already had the science bug at a young age, and science week just confirmed her interest. The program culminates Wednesday with a discussion of the data they collected, a talk from a former NASA astronaut, and an awards ceremony.


Bassmaster official: Onondaga Lake's bass fishing is superb

I've said it a couple of times since taking the outdoors writers job, and I think it deserves to be said again. Onondaga Lake is an awesome place to fish -- particularly for bass.

http://www.syracuse.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2015/08/bassmaster_tournament_director_onondaga_lakes_bass_fishing_is_superb.html


I know there's a lot of critics out there who might disagree. Those who continue to see the lake as a polluted cesspool, with many fish in there having three eyes or something. They should talk to Chris Bowes. Bowes, 47 a Westhill High grad and tournament director for this past weekend's Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Northern Open on Oneida Lake, fished Onondaga last Monday evening before the competition began. Bowes now lives in Central Florida. As a teen growing up in the Syracuse area, Bowes said he was a member of a local canoe and kayak team, fell in the lake many times and "on occasion just jumped in the water on a hot day and swam." "I still only have two eyes, my kids are fine," he said. "I keep track of the local news here. I continue to read on syracuse.com all the negativity about the lake. It's just such a resource. Should we be drinking the water on a daily basis? Well, no. But that doesn't mean it can't be used for recreational purposes by the community." Bowes said he went out on the lake in a boat with local angler Mike Wall, a member of the Salt City Bassmasters. "We put in about 3 p.m. and the wind was blowing pretty good," he said. "We scooted over to the west shore. In fact, I could have thrown a stone and hit the new amphitheater over there. We fished right there until about 8:30. "We managed to put 59 fish in the boat, including a few over four pounds," he said. "They were all largemouths and the bite was just steady as you can be." What was he using? "I can't tell you that. I'm a fisherman," he said. But after additional questioning, he admitted, "OK, I was using a soft stickbait over there and we rigged it wacky style. I guess that will tell you a http://www.syracuse.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2015/08/bassmaster_tournament_director_onondaga_lakes_bass_fishing_is_superb.html


lot." Bowes said all the fish they landed looked "incredibly healthy." "I'm fortunate enough with my job with Bassmasters to travel all around the country and see fish from California to Florida, the upper mid-West, the Northeast ... including this past week on Oneida Lake," he said. When he compares the overall length/weight ratio of those fish, Bowes said he would put Onondaga's bass against any of them. "Those fish in Onondaga are stout," he said. Why are the fish so healthy? "The habitat. As you know, you essentially have a bowl with a ring of weeds around it, which is a great habitat for big fish. It's got a lot of white bass, gizzard shad (and other things) that they feed on. You don't have a lot of pressure, very few, tournaments." In addition, very few people keep what they catch. What's usually caught on Onondaga Lake is returned to Onondaga Lake. That Monday evening Bowes said he only saw two other boats on the lake. "On one of them was Elite Series pro Brent Chapman and he was filming a TV show out there. I believe it's called "Pro vs. Joe," and it involves him fishing against a local angler," he said.

NY approves $20M in loans to improve Syracuse sewage treatment plant

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A state agency has approved $20.5 million in loans to Onondaga County to pay for improvements to the Metropolitan Syracuse Wastewater Treatment Plant. Half of the loans will be no-interest loans, according to the New York state Environmental Facilities Corp., the lender. The other half will be at market rate. The Metropolitan Syracuse Wastewater Treatment Plant treats a daily average of 84 million gallons of wastewater generated by 270,000 people and industrial and commercial customers in Syracuse and its suburbs. Treated wastewater is discharged from the plant into Onondaga Lake. The funding will be used to help the county-owned plant meet new permit requirements by installing a seasonal disinfection system. The system will reduce fecal bacteria and chlorine levels in discharged water, according to information provided by the Environmental Facilities Corp. The funding will pay for construction of a new bypass chlorine contact tank, chemical storage and feed building, dewatering pump station, tertiary bypass control gates, and other upgrades. Construction will begin in September and be completed by March 2017. Contact Mike McAndrew anytime | email | Twitter | 315-470-3016

Future projects help NY counties prepare for extreme weather By Ali Stewart Published: August 13, 2015, 1:46 pm

RENSSELAER, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Governor Cuomo has announced that NYS is getting more than $114 million in zero and low-interest loans to help municipalities strengthen their water infrastructures. Cuomo says these loans will support improvements at 16 wastewater facilities and four drinking water systems. Six of these projects will also make facilities and systems more resilient in the face of extreme weather.

http://news10.com/2015/08/13/future-projects-help-ny-counties-prepare-for-extreme-weather/


The Environmental Facilities Corporation has approved $31.9 million ($1.2 million grants, $30.7 million loans) for six storm-related projects: 

Town of Wallkill (Orange County) – Approximately $3 million, including a $716,238 grant and a $2.17 million interest-free loan, to install a remote control, monitoring and alarm system for the drinking water supply;

The Town of Orangetown (Rockland County) – $2 million, including a $500,000 grant, to repair and reinforce the wastewater collection system serving Nyack, South Nyack and Upper Nyack;

Town of Tonawanda (Erie County) – $14.2 million (half interest-free) for the fourth phase of the Parker-Fries Interceptor, a far-reaching project to abate numerous sanitary sewer overflows;

Village of Phoenix (Oswego County) – Approximately $6.4 million in interest-free financing to repair and replace sanitary sewers and installation of storm drains throughout the village, along with improvements to the wastewater treatment plant and pump station;

Hoosick Falls (Rensselaer County) – Approximately $3.8 million to prevent stormwater and groundwater infiltration by replacing or reinforcing pipes in the sewer collection system, along with a new pump station to protect water quality in the Hoosic River. This project was designed with the help of a $24,500 planning grant from Governor Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Initiative;

Town of Orleans (Jefferson County) – $2.5 million to reduce groundwater infiltration and stormwater inflow into the Thousand Island Park wastewater collection system. Century-old claytile pipes will be replaced with new sewer mains and laterals, as well as 55 new manholes.

Acting DEC Commissioner Marc Gerstman said, “Communities in parts of New York State are still feeling the effects of the devastation caused by Superstorm Sandy and other weather related events. This action by EFC is another critical step forward in achieving Governor Cuomo’s promise to better prepare NY for these events by building smarter more resilient infrastructure.” EFC also approved local-government assistance funding for: 

$35.4 million in zero-interest and low-interest loans for five wastewater projects in Westchester County.

http://news10.com/2015/08/13/future-projects-help-ny-counties-prepare-for-extreme-weather/


$20.5 million (half interest-free) to improve the Metropolitan Syracuse Wastewater Treatment Plant. Previous wastewater upgrades by Onondaga County have improved water quality in Onondaga Lake;

$1.26 million of interest-free financing for a waterfront revitalization project in the Village of Penn Yan (Yates County). New sewers, pump stations and other improvements to the wastewater collection system along Hicks, Waddell and Monell streets will prepare the waterfront for commercial and residential development of the former Penn Yan Boat Factory;

$2 million grant and a $684,665 interest-free loan for the Town of Newcomb (Essex County) to improve the quality of its drinking water by installing new groundwater sources and upgrading the distribution system in the Winebrook Hills Water District; and,

$6.5 million zero-interest loan to the Village of Trumansburg (Tompkins County) to help correct discharge violations at the wastewater treatment plant on Lake Road. Designed with the help of a $19,840 state planning grant, the project will also save money by lowering the plant’s energy costs.

Additionally, four 30-year, interest-free loans, totaling $15.8 million, were approved today for infrastructure improvements completed in the Village of Saranac Lake (Franklin County); the City of Amsterdam (Montgomery County), the Village of Oxford (Chenango County) and the Town of Malone (Franklin County).

Onondaga Lake algae mats a sign of the season, not pollution: researchers

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Those stringy, stinky mats of algae drifting in Onondaga Lake are the signs of the season, not pollution. What's floating now is a type of algae that grows on plants that root in the bottom of the lake, said Dave Matthews, a scientist with the Upstate Freshwater Institute. Those rooted plants start to die as days get shorter and there is less sunlight.

http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2015/09/onondaga_lake_algae_mats_a_sign_of_the_season_not_pollution_researcher.html


"As they die back, that filamentous stuff is free to float around and wash up on shore," he said. "'Tis the season." This kind of algae shouldn't be confused with harmful algal blooms, which are comprised of potentially toxic blue-green algae, Matthews said. "When people talk about algae blooms or harmful algae blooms, that'a s different kind of algae," he said. One researcher said the algae in Onondaga Lake now is actually a sign that the lake, once one of the nation's most polluted, is recovering. "It's a weird sign of recovery," Kim Schulz, a professor of at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, told Syracuse.com in May. The lake used to have massive blooms of microscopic algae because it was so polluted, but improvements to the county's wastewater treatment system, and the presence of zebra mussels, have made the lake much clearer, she said. That promotes the growth of filamentous algae, she said. Contact Glenn Coin: Email | Twitter | Google + | (315) 470-3251

Salina — In 2012, the legislature approved an agreement with towns, villages, and Cayuga County to plow approximately 316 miles of Onondaga County’s roads. For many years, Onondaga County has had an agreement with the state of New York to plow state roads in exchange for a base rate per mile. In an effort to streamline this service at the local level, the county reached out to the local municipalities to request they perform a similar service on county highways. After some negotiation, 19 towns, two villages and Cayuga County have agreed to a five year agreement to provide snow plowing services. The five-year contract has a base rate of $6,335 per mile with a 3 percent increase annually. By 2017, the base rate will be $7,130 per mile. Included in this contract is a “severity factor.” Each year, New York state determines a percentage based on the severity of the winter and amount of snow plowing that was performed by each municipality. The first three years of this agreement have proven to be cost-effective for the county and the towns. This year, the town of Geddes will receive a total payment of $16,195 for plowing almost two miles of county roads, and the town of Salina will receive a total payment of $69,105 for the 7.5 miles of county roadways they plowed this past winter. This contract ensures roadways are plowed quickly by utilizing town plow trucks that are already in the area. I sincerely hope we can continue this arrangement beyond 2017. The “Save the Rain” program has been very successful in reaching our court-mandated stormwater capture goals. Three years ago, we expanded Save the Rain by creating a Suburban Green Infrastructure Program. At that time we allocated $2 million and received requests for more than $4 million in proposals from towns and villages. In 2013 the county used revenues from the Honeywell dredging to complete the remainder of projects. All things considered, it is clear this funding stream has been beneficial to municipalities faced with drainage and sewer problems.

Acting DEC commish gets earful about what's right with Onondaga Lake

http://www.syracuse.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2015/09/acting_dec_commish_gets_earful_about_whats_right_with_onondaga_lake.html


Marc Gerstman, acting commissioner of the state Department of Environmental Conservation, got a two-hour, mostly rain-filled tour of Onondaga Lake today. The tour, part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's, day-long "Capital for a Day" series of events across the greater Syracuse area, was aboard the Emita II, a 65-foot boat owned by Mid-Lakes Navigation. The boat took off from Mid-Lake's launch on the Seneca River at Dutchman's Landing shortly after 11 a.m. with more three dozen, state, county, town officials aboard, in addition to representatives from such groups as the Montezuma Audubon Center, the Onondaga County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, SUNY ESF, the Nine Mile Creek Conservation Council and the local chapter of the Izaak Walton League. Much of the tour and the discussion concerning recent developments on the lake took place in the boat's lower, inside deck. One official after another gave brief statements to Gerstman about the positive developments on the lake concerning such things as its water clarity, the thriving fishery, the amphitheater, the Honeywell visitor's center and the remedies taken to turn the habitat on the south shoreline from a toxins-filled stretch to a healthy situation for plants and wildlife. Chris Lajewski, director of the Montezuma Audubon Center, noted Onondaga Lake has the largest concentration of bald eagles of any urban area in the country. Ken Lynch, the DEC's regional director, brought out an artist rendition of a new, state-run boat launch on Onondaga. It will be at the site where Honeywell currently has its field office, trailers and visitor's center. Work on it will commence after Honeywell finishes its capping work on the lake's bottom. Plans call for a two-bay boat launch for trailered boats and a separate launch site for car-top craft (canoes, kayaks) at the location. There will be 60 parking spaces and a handicapped fishing ramp stretching into the lake, DEC officials have said. "It's should be up and running by 2017," Lynch said.

http://www.syracuse.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2015/09/acting_dec_commish_gets_earful_about_whats_right_with_onondaga_lake.html


Gerstman told the group it's come to the point where attention to Onondaga Lake is now "less about cleanup and more about we can do for the future of Onondaga Lake" – specifically drawing visitors and users of its numerous resources. The rain stopped for about last 30 minutes of the tour. Everyone went up on the boat's upper deck to continue talking and to take in the lake's scenery. County lawmaker Mike Plochocki, chairman of the county Legislature's environmental Protection Committee, said "while we still have a long way to go with the lake, the fact is we've made huge strides. Today, on this boat ride and with our talk with the DEC commissioner, those strides came out."
