Project Progress Report from the Commissioner Connect the Drops Q2 2016 Education & Outreach Summary: the Connect the Drops ad campaign ramped up in the second quarter of 2016. We launched the new messaging and outreach materials coinciding with Earth Day this year. Education and outreach efforts included participation in public events, online educational materials on our website and social media platforms, and some traditional advertising as well as earned media attention. This campaign is integral to the ACJ required floatables control requirements. Onondaga County had a Connect the Drops team participating in the annual OCRRA Earth Day Cleanup. Over a dozen participants cleaned up along the Onondaga Lake Parkway and near the shore of the lake. This was the first of several litter cleanups this year aimed at cleaning up street litter before it reaches our water.
Information tables on Save the Rain and Connect the Drops have been available at several public events since Earth Day, including the Baltimore Woods Earth Day celebration and the Izaak Walton League CNY Chapter Family Fun Fishing Derby during Free Fishing Weekend at the end of June. Throughout the summer and into fall, we will continue to have a robust outreach

Infrastructure Asset Management in Action at Onondaga County Department of Water Environment Protection (WEP)
Onondaga County Department of Water Environment Protection
June 2016
Joanne M. Mahoney County Executive Tom Rhoads, P.E. Commissioner
P a g e |2
Infrastructure Asset Management in Action Introduction Onondaga County Department of Water Environment Protection (WEP) is a wastewater utility organization that serves a portion of central New York centered on Syracuse, New York. The County provides sanitary and storm sewer services through the Consolidated Sewer District and several drainage districts. The infrastructure managed by the Department is as diverse as the services provided by the staff. Staff includes administrative personnel, biologist, construction inspection, electricians, engineers, fiscal personnel, fleet maintenance, HVAC technicians, heavy machine operators, instrumentation technicians, inventory control personnel, IT, janitorial, laboratory technicians, managerial staff, mechanics, operations staff, permitting, personnel staff, sampling staff, sewer televising and inspection, and sewer and stream maintenance staff. The magnitude and variety of the asset inventory for the Department requires organized practices to aid in the management of the infrastructure. WEP uses Asset Management (AM) as one method to organize, plan, make decisions, and keep staff informed regarding the relatively large collection of assets. This document summarizes the main goals and focus of WEP’s AM program. WEP’s Asset Management Program Background WEP provides services to Onondaga County residents in the Consolidated Sanitary District with an emphasis on being a respected leader in wastewater treatment, storm water management, and the protection of our environment using state-of-the-art, innovative technologies and sound scientific principles as a guide. Through this work WEP protects and improves the water environment of Onondaga County in a cost-effective manner ensuring the health and sustainability of our community and economy. One way WEP carries out its vision and mission is through the use of Infrastructure Asset Management (AM). The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines asset management as managing infrastructure capital assets to minimize the total cost of owning and operating them, while delivering the service levels desired by customers. As stated by the EPA ―Sewer system assets that are not regularly maintained usual deteriorate faster than expected and lead to higher replacement and emergency cost.‖ WEP’s asset management program is designed to better deliver acceptable service and provide it on a sustainable cost basis to the ratepayer. WEP’s Asset Management Mission is to consistently deliver established levels of service and achieve sustainability using best-in-class Asset Management practices. What are best-in-class AM practices? At WEP, we have adopted many AM concepts developed by the EPA as our focus to be best-in-class. The EPA published its own Best Practices guide, which asserts that AM programs should focus on answering the following five (5) core questions of Asset Management. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
What is the current state of our assets? What is the desired level of service? Which assets are critical to sustained performance? How to achieve the minimum life cycle cost for an asset? What is the long-term funding plan?
OCDWEP – Asset Management Program Whitepaper

As stated in WEP’s AM Mission, it strives to answer these questions. In addition to being best-in-class by answering these questions, WEP is also focused on being sustainable, and providing customers with the best service possible while minimizing the lifecycle cost of the assets or equipment owned, operated, and maintained by WEP’s staff. WEP’s AM program defines an asset as the following: “A component of a facility with an independent physical and functional identity and age (e.g., pump, motor, sedimentation tank, main).” This definition is taken from the EPA asset management guidance. WEP expanded the definition to better define the meaning as it applies to specific equipment and facilities being managed as part of WEP’s AM program. An asset is the lowest level where a work task is generated and tracked. By definition, assets shall satisfy one or more of the following:
A necessary component in the conveyance or treatment of wastewater, stormwater, and combined sewers (CSOs). Examples: Valves, Piping, Aeration Diffusers, Controls, Pumps, Tanks, and Aeration Blowers. A necessary component in the supply of electricity; Examples: Motors, Circuit Breakers, Transfer Switches, and Emergency Generators. A necessary component required to comply with local, state, or federal regulatory standard; Examples: Flow Meter, Chemical Containment, and Operational Monitoring Equipment. A component providing a safe and healthy work environment including ventilation of confined spaces; Examples: Exhaust Fans, Hazardous Gas Detector, and Boilers. Green infrastructure owned and maintained by WEP; Computers, laboratory equipment, or sampling equipment; Any piece of equipment with an estimated value greater than $5,000; or Any piece of equipment with an estimated useful life equal to or greater than three (3) years.
Assets DO NOT include miscellaneous fixtures such as light fixtures, light switches, toilets, sinks, and floor drains. Infrastructure and Asset Management within the County’s sewer system have a long history, taking on many forms and names. The Department began formalizing it’s AM program in the late 1990’s through early 2000’s. Since that time the program has grown. It has consolidated simple computer and paper databases that staff utilized to manage work. The consolidation of these systems resulted in the implementation of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) referred to as Maximo. Maximo was and is still one of the leaders in the industry for CMMS. WEP has continued to implement Maximo and its continual upgrades to keep up with technology. Since the original implementation IBM bought Maximo and now maintains it as one of its product offerings. Maximo has continued to add features to allow users, including WEP, to utilize it as their Enterprise Asset Management System. This software continues to help WEP in accomplishing its AM mission.

What is the state of our assets? WEP currently has over 12,000 operational assets being tracked in its Maximo system. These assets meet the conditions described above but do not include every component of every facility and that number does not include all ―linear assets‖ such as sewer lines, manholes, and force mains: these linear assets include another 20,000 assets. As part of an ongoing effort, these linear assets are being organized and vetted for addition into WEP’s Maximo system. In addition to tracking and performing over 46,000 maintenance work orders each year, a constant effort is being made to update and replace assets in our system to keep this list up-to-date.
OCDWEP – Asset Management Program Whitepaper
June 2016
P a g e |5
These assets are categorized into 33 ―parent‖ classes and over 100 different ―child‖ classifications. These asset classifications group equipment by similar characteristics and expected service life. Each classification has a set list of specifications. These classes provide multiple benefits such as allowing for the estimate of replacement values and reference materials for staff when doing maintenance. Above is a description of the different wastewater maintenance divisions within WEP and the typical types of assets that they maintain. In addition to these groups, WEP also maintains Laboratory Equipment which is also part of Maximo. Fleet maintenance is done in a similar way but the records and inventory are kept in a specialized fleet maintenance software program known as Faster. In an effort to further its asset management, WEP began performing formal condition assessments in 2013. These condition assessments are being performed by WEP staff, consultants, vendors, and manufacturers. Condition scoring results are entered into Maximo with the date which they were conducted. We also consider other factors, the asset’s condition score allows WEP to grade each piece of equipment based on a one (1) to ten (10) scale with ten being a piece of equipment which is currently failing. The table below shows the extremes of the condition score represented by very good or very poor. However, an asset may also be scored as good, fair, or poor which correspond to the scores of two (2), five (5), or seven (7) respectively.
Once the condition is assessed the staff then assigns a performance score to each asset, also on a scale of one (1) to ten (10). This performance score is an indicator of the asset’s capacity to meet its required Level of Service (LOS), its efficiency, and availability of replacement parts. Similar to condition, performance has specific criteria to determine the score. Criteria for a performance score of one (1) and a ten (10) are shown below.
OCDWEP – Asset Management Program Whitepaper

Condition and performance are a good indication of the likelihood an asset will fail. As part of WEP’s AM program the likelihood of failure (LOF) also considers the level of documentation of O&M protocols as well as the maintenance history. Thus for assets which have been reviewed, WEP can quantify the probability of an asset failing. The assets with the highest risk of failing need further investigate regarding their criticality. Often the most important assets cannot be allowed to approach failure because of their impact to the services we provide.
What are Levels of Service? The International Infrastructure Management Manual defines "Level of Service" as "the defined service quality for a particular activity‖. WEP has established levels of service through work with consultants and internal staff. These levels of service support the overall goals of our utility and similar wastewater utilities. Maintenance, repairs, capital projects, and long-range planning are all aimed in an effort to have all County owned assets of the Consolidated Sanitary District meet these required levels of service.
OCDWEP – Asset Management Program Whitepaper
June 2016
P a g e |7
WEP’s levels of service identify are centered on the functions and goals of our department. These levels of service are the basis for a metric to measure each asset utility or importance to provide service to our customers. Using the established metric WEP can quantify each assets relative criticality. Which Assets are most critical? Based on the above discussed levels of service, WEP assets are assigned a Consequence of Failure (COF) score. This score directly relates to the impact of an asset’s failure on the Department and its mission. These assets are said to have a high consequence of failure if the results of a failed asset negatively impact the levels of service. We score COF based on a scale of one (1) to ten (10) with 10 being the most critical assets. The COF score is based on the five (5) LOS categories, system reliability, regulatory compliance, public and employee health and safety, fiscal impacts, and public confidence. A COF score of one (1) or a negligible consequence of failure equates to the asset’s failure not affect the levels of service. For the asset’s failure to be a severe or a score of ten (10), the failure must meet or exceed the follow criteria of each category.
OCDWEP – Asset Management Program Whitepaper
June 2016
P a g e |8
This COF score can be reduced by process changes or adding redundancy to a particular system. For example if a process requires two (2) pumps to function properly and it is critical to maintaining permit compliance, these assets would have a high COF. If we added a third (3) pump that would reduce the impact or consequence of one (1) pump failing. The rubric for which assets are scored on consequence of failure is included below and is based on the above described levels of service.

How to get Risk from Likelihood of Failure and the Consequence of Failure? The Likelihood of Failure (LOF) and Consequence of Failure (COF) already discussed give WEP the understanding of potential future failures and what the impacts might be of those failures. Once both of these have been quantified then an overall risk score can be assigned. This risk score is the product of the likelihood of failure multiplied by the consequence of failure.
This score is a numerical value between one (1) and 100. An asset with a score of above 25, is considered to be a major indicator for further investigation. However, it is not necessary to replace all assets above a risk score of 25. Instead it has been WEP’s experiences that understanding the circumstances which make that asset’s score a 25 or higher is the most important task. In the case of assets with a risk score greater than 50, the asset should be included in a current project or reviewed for potential replacement or rehabilitation, as these assets are susceptible to a pending failure and will impact system operations. Below is a risk matrix with the likelihood of failure on the ―x‖ axis and the consequence of failure on the ―y‖ axis. These two as shown above give you the risk score. Risk scores from 10-90 are shown as dotted lines on the graph as examples of where asset would be on the graph. Ultimaltely the red shaded area shows on the graph where asset with a score of 25 or higher would be located. As you move to the top right of the graph the risk score increases.

In addition there are some cases in which an asset has failed but because the consequence of that failure is so small that the asset never reaches a risk score of 25. These assets require planned replacement or rehabilitation as is the case with assets with a risk score greater than 50. The majority of assets are in a range between a risk score of 10 and 50. This large group of assets is where good planning and forecasting will lead to savings. Within this range, good Asset Management practices are able to help predict failures and reduce the impacts and costs of unexpected failures. As stated by the EPA, lack of maintenance will lead to greater replacement and failure cost, thus this level of maintenance can lead to saving. “We can impact the overall cost of maintaining our infrastructure by replacing the right asset, at the right time, for the right reasons.”
How to minimize the lifecycle cost of an asset? Using the adage of replacing the right asset, at the right time, for the right reasons we can improve our management of an asset’s lifecycle. Unfortunately once we replace an asset the process is not complete. To the contrary, the process begins again. We initiate monitoring the new asset’s condition, performance, and work order history. With the information obtained from the previous asset and the new asset’s information we are able to make more informed decisions and react more efficiently to failures. These efforts lead to minimizing the lifecycle costs of an asset. As a part of the asset management program, WEP is currently working to optimize the preventative maintenance schedules for its assets. These efforts utilize staff experience, historical maintenance records, and recommended best practices to define the right intervals for preventative maintenance. This is becoming a living process with the intent to continual improve the efficient use of scarce resources. Planning for the Future (long-term) funding plan WEP has extended its application of Asset Management through the use of consultants. As an example, consultants were tasked to work with WEP staff at two treatment facilities - Brewerton and Baldwinsville Seneca Knolls treatment plants. These projects assessed the overall condition of the facilities and forecasted infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement over the next twenty (20) years.

This same approach is being is expected to be implemented for other facilities within WEP. A 20 year forecast allows WEP is to better prepare for design and construction of facility capital rehabilitation improvements. This approach is proactive in nature and allows monitoring of assets to ensure if an asset begins to deteriorate more rapidly that it will be included in the next project cycle. Resources are scarce and WEP striving to invest resources to replace the right asset, at the right time, for the right reasons using AM. An example of a 20-year planning level projection for the Baldwinsville Seneca Knolls (vintage 1982) treatment facility is shown below.
Conclusion: The importance of AM for Sustainability of WEP Answering the five core questions is crucial for WEP because of its significant responsibility to maintain a vast number of aging assets. WEP is making progress each year in furthering its effort to know the condition of all assets. Those assets are being maintained to ensure the required levels of service will be provided to the residents being served by the Consolidated Sanitary District. The levels of service allow WEP to plan more efficiently, and invest more cost effectively based on the criticality of each asset. These planning efforts are leading WEP in its efforts to minimize the overall lifecycle cost of each asset and properly manage the cost of service to every ratepayer in the Consolidated Sanitary District. Based on information collected, efforts are made to insure the right assets are being replaced, at the right time, for the right reasons. This replacement or rehabilitation of assets is fundamentally necessary in an asset rich industry such as a wastewater utility. As stated by the US EPA ―Sewer System assets that are not regularly maintained usual deteriorate faster than expected and lead to higher replacement and emergency response costs.‖ The diagram below shows a simplistic visualization of asset decay as published by the EPA.

As WEP continues in its asset management journey, it strives to make the benefits of its asset management program more measurable and even more effective over time. These efforts include moving away from a reactive or run-to-failure management as well as making sure all investments in asset renewal are done in a responsible and defensible manner. In addition to the day to day benefits that can be attributed to AM, the department anticipates that AM can provide the best use of scare resources. Ultimately, all of the work done by WEP to promote Asset Management will lead to the sustainability of the wastewater infrastructure, our community, and the economy WEP serves.

Sewer Separation at CSO 061 Onondaga County Syracuse Midland Sewer Separation 100,000 gal/yr 1 November 2016 (projected) $200,000 (estimated) D.E. Tarolli, Inc.
Project Description: The CSO 061 Area includes 1.8 acres within a residential neighborhood in the south side of the City of Syracuse. During large rain events, the combined sewage from the Crehange Street combined sewer can overflow to an existing 12-inch outfall to Onondaga Creek (CSO 061). The proposed design includes construction of a new storm sewer along Crehange Street to convey tributary stormwater from the Crehange Street properties, as well as two catch basins that are tributary to the Hatch Street combined sewer. The CSO-061 outfall will be repurposed and utilized for stormwater discharge only. The existing sanitary sewer along Crehange Street will convey sewage only and the Hatch Street combined sewer will have reduced stormwater contributions.

The County evaluated the use of Green Infrastructure for mitigating overflows at CSO-061. It was concluded that complete separation would be more effective than green infrastructure due to the short conveyance distance, proximity to Onondaga Creek, and the desire to implement a total closure of CSO-061. Project Update: It is anticipated that construction on the project will begin by the end of summer 2016.

GREEN PROJECTS UPDATE
Green Projects Update Progress has continued on several Save the Rain projects during the second quarter of 2016. The Green Separation in CSO 052 project design was finalized and bid for construction during the second quarter. The project is expected to be awarded to the low bidder, Marcellus Construction, and construction is anticipated to begin during the third quarter of 2016 with completion by the end of the year. The project consists of a new stormwater management facility on the former Garzone’s Restaurant property to manage ponding onsite as well as additional stormwater from Cornell Avenue. and South Avenue. Additionally, 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 benefits of managing stormwater runoff in the CSO 052 area to reduce combined sewer overflows and reducing localized flooding episodes experienced in the neighborhood. Prior to construction, the County’s Save the Rain team will hold the third public information meeting on the project to lay out construction expectations and scheduling. The State Street Green Corridor design was completed during the second quarter and construction is expected to begin during the beginning of the third quarter, using the County’s Green Structures Term Contractors (DE Tarolli, Inc. and J&J Landscaping, LLC). The project is funded in part by a Water Quality Improvement Project grant from the NYSDEC and consists of the installation of several green infrastructure practices along State Street in three different segments: Taylor St. to Adams St., Fayette St. to Water St., and James St. to Salina St. Construction will be complete by the end of the year, and the County’s Save the Rain team will keep the public informed with meetings, flyers, and other forms of communication. The CSO 060/077 green street candidate projects design was advanced during the second quarter to the 90% phase. These candidates include projects on McKinley Avenue, East Colvin Street, Roney Lane, Comstock Avenue, Lancaster Avenue, and Ackerman Avenue. The projects on Lancaster Avenue, Ackerman Avenue, and McKinley Avenue are expected to be under construction during the third and fourth quarters of 2016. The projects on Comstock Avenue, East Colvin Street, and Roney Lane will proceed to final design, public outreach and construction in 2017 and 2018. The Save the Rain team presented the Lancaster and Ackerman projects at the May Eastside TNT meeting, and at the Southeast University Neighborhood Association’s June board meeting. Outreach will continue as these projects advance to construction. The Green Planning Committee (GPC) continued to make progress this quarter. Design of the CSO 067 green project candidates – McKinley Park, Vacant Lot at 621 West Newell Street, and Vale Street at Newell Street – kicked off during the second quarter and 25% design concepts are expected early in the third quarter.
The GPC is also finalized the development of additional project candidates in CSO 052 for implementation by 2018. The County will be awarding design contracts for these candidates during the third quarter. Discussions between the GPC, County, and City on a green infrastructure approach for CSO 029 area (located in Armory Square) continued during the third quarter, with the expectation of developing a plan of action sometime during 2016.

Project Description: The McKinley Park Project is one of many projects being accomplished through the collaborative efforts of Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. As a neighborhood park, McKinley Park has served the recreational needs of the community since 1920. The primary goal of the project is to reduce the volume of stormwater that flows into the combined sewer system along West Newell Street, West Calthrop Avenue, and West Pleasant Avenue – all within CSO 067. The County and the City have partnered to help reduce this runoff through the installation of various green infrastructure technologies, including bioretention and porous pavement with an underground infiltration system in the parking area. This infrastructure will capture runoff from the park and surrounding areas, totaling 80,000 square feet of drainage area and will have the capacity to store approximately 103,000 gallons of stormwater during rain events. Stormwater will slowly evaporate and/or infiltrate underground, eliminating excess drainage to the sewer system and improving the overall stormwater management and drainage in this area. A secondary goal of this project is to enhance McKinley Park by increasing green space and improving the basketball court. Some of the existing pavement, which was once used as a tennis court will be completely removed and replaced with open green space. Additionally, the current half-court basketball facility will be removed and replaced with a full court porous basketball court. Even with this addition, this project will result with an overall reduction in pavement, an increase in green open space, and a reduction is stormwater overflow into the city’s sewer system.

Project Description: The Green Separation of CSO 052 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 surface and 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 and infiltration. 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, totaling 890,400 square feet of drainage area. The facility will have the capacity to store 1,155,700 gallons of stormwater during rain events. 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-owned property. Additionally, runoff from 140,700 square feet of drainage area along Mitchell Avenue will be collected in a new storm sewer system and directed to an underground stormwater infiltration basin with a runoff reduction volume of approximately 1,241,900 gallons per year. When the project is complete, it will capture a combined total of approximately 3,781,200 gallons of runoff per year from the project area.

Project Description: The Newell Street Green Street Project demonstrates the continued partnership between the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County through the Save the Rain Program. The project concept was put forth by the Green Project Committee with stakeholder input from county, city, and citizen representatives. This project involves the construction of an underground infiltration trench which will occupy the south side of Newell Street between the Onondaga Creek Bridge and Vale Street. The infiltration trench will manage runoff from an estimated 5,150 square feet of drainage area from Newell Street in the maximum amount of storage space possible without disrupting the existing underground utilities in this area. Being completely underground, the infiltration trench system will provide high capture efficiency without requiring an obtrusive footprint at the surface.

FACT SHEET Vacant Lot at 621 W. Newell Street Project Description: This project will be one of two Save the Rain projects on West Newell Street. Previously, the existing lot was taken into ownership by the City of Syracuse in the year 2000. The lot has remained vacant and the site contains good soil, ideal for infiltration practices. A unique facet of this project is that the site is located approximately three hundred feet from Onondaga Creek and just down the road (approximately three and a half blocks) from McKinley Park, where another Save the Rain project will be constructed. The green infrastructure technologies included with this project include a bioretention area. The bioretention area is located towards the middle to back area of the vacant lot parcel and is designed to capture stormwater from West Newell Street; taking stormwater from existing drainage structures on West Newell Street from Vale Street to Baldwin Avenue. The bioretention area will be planted with native vegetation and it will serve as a form of community beautification. In total, the bioretention basin will capture approximately 160,000 gallons of stormwater annually. Upon completion of the project in 2017, all runoff from this 1 block stretch of road on West Newell Street will be drained into green infrastructure, instead of the sewer system.

Project Description: The 301 Prospect Avenue parking lot project is the second of two Green Improvement Fund (GIF) projects undertaken by St. Joseph’s Hospital to date. St. Joseph’s Hospital has been providing services to patients throughout the City of Syracuse since 1869. This GIF project consists installing a cistern and slow release system beneath a reconstructed parking lot to capture runoff form the parking lot and adjacent buildings. The cistern system is a series of underground storage and infiltration chambers. Due to poor infiltration, the system was designed to slowly release the captured stormwater back to the sewer after rain events have ended. Runoff from the roof of adjacent buildings was replumbed into the cistern system to maximize the stormwater capture to the greatest extent. Construction of the project began in 2015 and was completed in 2016.

Onondaga Lake Phosphorus (2016 to-date) The AMP tracks the summer average total phosphorus (TP) concentration in the lake’s upper waters. 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 20 μg/L calculated as the average total phosphorus concentration in the lake’s upper waters between June 1 and September 30. This number was developed from statistical analysis of surveys of lake users conducted throughout New York State as to their perception of the suitability of specific waterbodies for swimming and other forms of contact recreation (Kishbaugh, 1994). The total maximum daily load TMDL target is a numeric endpoint that ensures protection of the designated best uses of a water body. The phosphorus TMDL was approved by USEPA on June 29, 2012. 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.
Comparisons to Other Regional Lakes Advanced wastewater treatment has resulted in major decreases in total phosphorus and chlorophyll-a levels in Onondaga Lake. A comparison of total phosphorus and chlorophyll-a conditions in Onondaga Lake to other regional lakes provides context for the magnitude of the water quality improvements that have been achieved. During the 1998–2005 interval total phosphorus and chlorophyll-a levels in Onondaga Lake far exceeded those measured in some of the eastern Finger Lakes and Oneida Lake. Since 2007, levels of these important water quality indicators have been similar to those measured in Otisco Lake and Oneida Lake. The absence of blue-green algal blooms in Onondaga Lake stands in contrast to the widespread occurrence of harmful algal blooms in lakes across New York State http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/83310.html
BIOLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAM Sampling Summary (June)  Completed alewife hyroacoustic survey on June 23.  Completed first larval fish sampling event on June 23.  Nesting Survey tentatively scheduled on June 30.
Onondaga Lake Larval Fish Larval fish can best be described as those fish that have not yet developed characteristics found in adult fish. The fins may not be fully developed, scales will not be present and fish movement will be limited. Fish eggs and larvae start life as relatively rare components of aquatic food webs but become increasingly dominant as they develop from lower to upper trophic levels. In most species, biomass initially declines as a result of high mortality rates but eventually increases as growth rates surpass losses (Spotte 2007)1. Larval fish are found in a variety of habitats; some species such as bluegill upon hatching will reside in the open waters for the first few days of life then return to the shallow water areas and develop into juveniles. Species which receive parental protection, such as bowfin and largemouth bass, tend to remain in the shallow water areas their entire life. The larval life stage is the most vulnerable to different types of stresses, water quality, predation and competition all of which affect larval growth and survival. Annual recruitment variability of fishes is often significantly affected by survival during the larval phase. Cumulative larval mortality can be 99% or more, and relatively minor changes in this value can translate to large differences in the size of an annual cohort of adult fish (Steinhart 2004)2. Some species including gizzard, alewife, and round goby
have been documented, when in large numbers, to significantly reduce larval fish abundance especially the members of the sunfish family. Domestic and industrial waste inputs can also reduce the standing crop of larval fish in an aquatic system. In particular elevated levels of ammonia are detrimental to larval fish. Additionally, several studies have found that larval fish exposed to microplastic particles during development displayed changed behaviors and stunted growth which lead to greatly increased mortality rates. The researchers discovered that larval perch which had access to microplastic particles only ate plastic and ignored their natural food source of free-swimming zooplankton (Lonnstedt 2016)3. As the water quality and habitats of Onondaga Lake continue to improves, larval fish populations should reflect these improvements through increases in population size and species diversity and the subsequent recruitment to adult stocks.

Onondaga Lake's rebirth will be celebrated with a regatta this summer
Syracuse, N.Y. -- For more than 40 years, summer meant a regatta on Onondaga Lake. That tradition stopped in the late 1990s, but it's on a comeback this year. The Onondaga Cup & Lakefest will be July 16 at Willow Bay on the lake. The festival will include a regatta, and then some. There will be races, competitions, food, drink, music and a final race at night under the lights. Syracuse Media Group, in partnership with the Syracuse CHARGERS, is producing the regatta, with support from several community sponsors.
http://www.syracuse.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2016/04/onondaga_lakes_rebirth_will_be_celebrated_w ith_a_regatta_this_summer.html
"The rebirth of Onondaga Lake is one of the great stories in Central New York," said Tim Kennedy, Syracuse Media Group president. "This regatta will be a summer tradition that we will promote across Upstate New York." There will be corporate rowing competitions and individual races for paddleboarders and kayakers. The day will include competition among 32 corporate rowing teams and 50 kayakers and paddleboarders. The finalists will race in the evening under the lights. While the festival will be free, there will be a ticketed event at the finish line that will include a clambake dinner, wine tastings, cooking and cocktail making demonstrations. Crew teams will be from the Syracuse CHARGERS seven-week corporate rowing league, which runs from the end of May through the middle of July.

Let public use all of Onondaga Lake shore, county asks Honeywell, NY state
Syracuse, N.Y. -- Onondaga County, which already owns 90 percent of the Onondaga Lake shoreline, is asking other landowners to make the entire lake shore public. The county wants Honeywell, the state of New York and others to give permanent rights for the public to use their land along the lake, much of which is now clean enough for swimming. "This could truly be a fully public lake," said county legislator Mike Plochocki, RMarcellus, chairman of the Environmental Protection Committee. "Because the county http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2016/04/onondaga_county_make_entire_onondaga_lake_shore line_open_to_public.html
already owns well over 90 percent, it's not that far of a leap from where we are to make the entire shore accessible to the public." The committee on Wednesday will consider a nonbinding resolution that asks Honeywell and the state Department of Transportation to grant public easements. Honeywell and the state would still own the land but allow the public to use it. In e-mailed statements to Syracuse.com, representatives for Honeywell and the DOT were noncommittal. DOT regional spokesman Gene Cilento said that if the department receives a formal request from the county, "we will look into the matter and make a determination then." Honeywell spokeswoman Victoria Streitfeld said the company already allows public access for the county bike trail and has an "ongoing dialogue with Onondaga County officials and the community" on uses of its land. Onondaga Lake, once considered America's most polluted, has undergone a more than $1 billion cleanup by the county and Honeywell. The county built a $50 million amphitheater on the west shore, and plans to study building a beach at Willow Bay. Tests show that the northern portion of the lake meets state standards for swimming.

Onondaga County officials to discuss public use of Onondaga Lake
Syracuse, N.Y. -- Onondaga County officials will speak Friday morning about public use of Onondaga Lake. Environment Director Travis Glazier and parks Commissioner Bill Lansley will speak at a meeting of FOCUS Greater Syracuse. The meeting runs from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. at the City Hall Commons atrium, 201 E. Washington St. The group issued a report in 2012 calling for the lake to kept public. Onondaga County owns more than 90 percent of the shoreline of the lake. The county Legislature is asking Honeywell, the state and other property owners along the lake to open their land to the public. The county has spent about $700 million to reduce bacteria in the lake and make it safe again for swimming. The county also built the $50 million Lakeview Amphitheater and plans to add docks and eventually extend a bike trail around the entire perimeter of the lake.

ESF Hosts Photo Exhibit of Migratory Birds along Onondaga Lake Display sponsored by Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps, Audubon New York, Honeywell 4/14/2016
The Central New York community has a second opportunity - on Earth Day - to see local wildlife photographers' stunning images of migratory birds taken along the Onondaga Lake shoreline. An exhibit titled "Onondaga Lake: An Important Stop for Birds on an Impressive Journey" will be on display 6 to 7 p.m. Friday, April 22, at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The exhibit, which debuted earlier this month, is sponsored by the Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps in partnership with Audubon New York and Honeywell. The exhibit is free and open to the public, and will take place in the Gateway Center on the ESF campus. Fifteen photos from the original, larger exhibit will be on display. Several of the photographers will be on hand to greet visitors and talk about their work. Following the exhibit, ESF will host the third event in its Moonlighting Discourse Series: "Ethics and Earth Day: Finding Environmental Justice in a Complex World." Moonlighting is hosted by ESF President Quentin Wheeler. Joining him for this discussion will be Sanjit "Bunker" Roy, the founder of the internationally acclaimed Barefoot College in India; Meagan Fallone, CEO of Barefoot College International; and Dr. Samuel Gorovitz, a professor of philosophy at Syracuse University and a leader in the development of medical ethics. The photo exhibit was first on display April 2 and 3 at Honeywell's Onondaga Lake Visitors Center.

"Onondaga Lake was named an important bird area because it provides critical habitat for migratory and overwintering species of the Atlantic Flyway," said Erin Crotty, executive director of Audubon New York. "Thanks to the cleanup and restoration efforts of Onondaga County, Honeywell, the Onondaga Lake Conservation Corps, and the Syracuse community, a variety of bird species can once again depend on Onondaga Lake for year-round nesting, breeding and stopover habitat. Thank you to the event photographers for sharing their talents with us and allowing us to showcase the significant role Onondaga Lake plays in the Atlantic Flyway." Onondaga Lake is a priority Audubon Important Bird Area (IBA) and a vital stop for migratory birds along the Atlantic Flyway. Flyways are the general pathways that birds use to migrate each year between their breeding and wintering areas, including the places where they stop to rest and forage (or refuel) on the way. The Atlantic Flyway follows the Atlantic Coast and the Appalachian Mountains and encompasses some of the hemisphere's most productive ecosystems, including forests, beaches, and coastal wetlands. The Atlantic Flyway is home to a wide variety of ecosystems and more than one-third of the human population of the United States. Onondaga Lake became an IBA in 1998 and was subsequently adopted by Honeywell, Montezuma Audubon Center, and Onondaga Audubon Society because of its value to waterfowl and bald eagles during the winter months, to connecting local communities to the importance of stewardship, and to improving the quality of habitat for birds and other wildlife. The IBA program serves as a catalyst for achieving bird conservation. As part of the Onondaga Lake cleanup, Honeywell is planting about 1.1 million plants, shrubs, and trees in the Onondaga Lake watershed. To date, more than 50 acres of wetlands have been restored and more than 170 species of birds, fish, and other wildlife have returned to restored habitat near the lake. More than 85 unique bird species have been identified in and around Onondaga Lake, including several species categorized as threatened or of special interest in New York State. Pied-billed grebe, northern harrier, and bald eagle are among the notable bird species that have returned.

Tree-planting at Onondaga Lake Park will replace ash trees killed by borer
Syracuse, N.Y. - A tree-planting in Onondaga Lake Park Thursday will help replace ash trees cut down because of the invasion of the emerald ash borer. Several groups will plant 125 trees in the park from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. with a tree-planting demonstration. Anyone wishing to volunteer should meet at the Griffin Visitor Center, 6790 Onondaga Lake Parkway. Lunch will be provided. To registration before the event, call Kat Korba at 424-9485, ext. 230, or send an email to kk569@cornell.edu. You can also register online. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2016/05/treeplanting_at_onondaga_lake_park_will_replace_ash_trees_killed_by_borer.html
Running the event are Onondaga County, the Onondaga County Soil and Water District, and Cooperative Extension of Onondaga County. The county plans to cut down 44,000 ash trees on county property, including the park, as the emerald ash borer makes its way through Central New York. Soil and water district officials are also trying to save some larger shade ash trees with inoculations of pesticides.

These tree planters have a stake in America's future
Syracuse, NY-- Over 30 student members from the Future Farmers of America, from around the state, practiced a "day of service" at the Earth Day Tree Planting Event held at Onondaga Lake Park on Thursday. The students were in Syracuse for their FAA State Convention. Their ages ranged from 7-12. The students joined volunteers from the community, Cornell Cooperative Extension, Onondaga County employees, including Soil and Water Conservation. They planted 125 bare root trees in Onondaga Lake Park in an effort to restore the canopy impacted by the emerald ash borer. http://www.syracuse.com/living/index.ssf/2016/05/these_planters_have_a_stake_in_americas_future.html
Onondaga County partnered with Onondaga County Soil and Water Conservation and CCE Onondaga to organize the tree planting event to replace the ash trees lost due to EAB.

EPA Grant to Syracuse University Project Educates Local Teachers and Students about the Traditions and Future of the Onondaga Lake Watershed June 2, 2016 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $91,000 environmental education grant to Syracuse University for an education outreach project focused on Onondaga Lake. The project will include both traditional customs in partnership with the Onondaga Nation and science to educate Central New York teachers about species and landscapes native to the Onondaga Lake watershed. “Syracuse University is combining traditional Native American customs and scientific advancement in a unique way,” said Judith A. Enck, EPA Regional Administrator. “The teachers involved in this project will educate hundreds of local Syracuse students about the past, present and future of the Onondaga Lake watershed.” Through this project, Syracuse University is developing educational materials and tools that allow students of various ages to explore and learn about the watershed. Weaved into the curriculum materials is the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address, which is an expression of Haudenosaunee perspectives. As part of the grant project, a summer workshop will be held for Central New York teachers. Syracuse University was one of three recipients to receive the 2015 round of environmental education grants from EPA Region 2, which is responsible for New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and eight Indian Nations. A total of $222,000 was awarded in EPA Region 2 for the three grants and funding nationwide for this round of grants totaled more than $3.3 million. Nationally, EPA funded 35 grants from organizations in 26 states for the 2015 Environmental Education Grants. Since 1992, EPA has distributed approximately $68 million supporting more than 3,600 projects. This competitive grants program supports environmental education projects that increase public awareness about environmental issues and provide participants with the skills to take responsible actions to protect the environment.

'World's Largest Rubber Duck' coming to Syracuse for Onondaga Lake regatta
Syracuse, N.Y. -- The self-styled "World's Largest Rubber Duck" will float on Onondaga Lake this summer as part of the first Onondaga Cup & LakeFest. The duck weighs 11 tons and is 61 feet high when inflated. It has appeared in water festivals from Los Angeles to Long Island. The July 16 regatta is co-sponsored by Syracuse Media Group and the Syracuse CHARGERS rowing club. The duck's appearance is sponsored by Tarson Pools and Spas. The duck is the brainchild of Craig Samborski, who is the executive producer of Tall Ships Duluth in his native Minnesota. He told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune he came up with the idea to promote a similar event in Los Angeles.
http://www.syracuse.com/weather/index.ssf/2016/06/worlds_largest_rubber_duck_coming_to_syracuse_f or_onondaga_lake_regatta.html
"I knew it was going to be either really smart or really dumb, and thank goodness it worked out to be really smart," Samborski said. The Duluth tall ships web page notes that the duck is "is not available to ride." Can't wait until July to see the duck? You can follow its public figure Facebook page. The daylong regatta will be at Willow Bay and feature 24 corporate sponsored rowing teams and 50 independent kayakers and paddleboarders. The final races will be run at night, under lights. "The rebirth of Onondaga Lake is one of the great stories in Central New York," said Tim Kennedy, Syracuse Media Group president, in a statement. "This regatta will be a summer tradition that we will promote across Upstate New York." Onondaga Lake, once considered among America's most polluted, has undergone a cleanup that has cost Onondaga County and Honeywell more than $1 billion combined.

Syracuse City Students Get Their Feet Wet in Nature in the City Water Quality Lessons With Support from Onondaga County Save the Rain May 15, 2016 This spring, hundreds of third-grade students from the Syracuse City School District will wade into Furnace Brook at Elmwood Park in search of crayfish, dragonfly larva, and other aquatic macroinvertebrates as part of their Nature in the City lessons about water quality. Funded in part through a grant from Onondaga County’s Save the Rain Program, this hands-on program is one component of Baltimore Woods Nature Center’s Nature in the City program, a K-6 science education program that links 19 Syracuse city schools with local parks and green spaces, connecting children to science in their own neighborhoods. Onondaga County’s Save the Rain Program has partnered with Baltimore Woods Nature Center for 6 years to teach 3rd grade children about the water cycle, pollution, storm runoff and how Onondaga County uses green infrastructure projects to keep Onondaga Lake clean. The grant from Save the Rain includes three, one-hour long lessons that align with the New York State science curriculum. The Save the Rain Program is Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney’s award-winning initiative to improve the water quality of Onondaga Lake and its tributaries. To date, the County has advanced more than 180 distinct green infrastructure projects, on public and private property. Onondaga County is a national model for the implementation of a balanced approach to storm water management – a combination of smart gray investments with innovative green infrastructure solutions. Onondaga Lake has seen tremendous improvement in water quality and the ecosystem is thriving. In addition to program funding, Onondaga County Save the Rain has developed Green Infrastructure projects at or near local schools to show children successful examples of green infrastructure, such as rain gardens and porous pavement, and their impacts on water quality. In the parking lot at White Branch Library, students see green infrastructure in action as they pour water on both gray asphalt and newer, porous pavement and compare the resulting run-off effects.
http://madisoncountycourier.com/?p=68502
For these Syracuse City school students, instilling a love of science opens their eyes not only to the natural world in their neighborhoods but also exposes them to a wide range of science-related career fields. According to one teacher, “Our third-grade students love getting outside and feeling like they are contributing to actual science information gathering.” In order to continually improve the quality of the Nature in the City programs as well as assess students’ gains in scientific knowledge, Baltimore Woods educators administer pre and post assessments in different grade levels each year. During the 2014-2015 school year, third grade students were assessed and the outcomes were impressive: Third graders in the Syracuse City School District increased their scientific knowledge an average of 60% from pre to post instruction, higher than any of the other
evaluated grades 90% of the schools showed a significant increase between pre and post assessment scores ESL students showed a significantly higher jump between pre and post scores than non-ESL students.
Nature in the City is a successful working example of a partnership between public, private and non-for-profit sectors of the community. The Syracuse City School District funds a portion through annual budgeting and Onondaga County’s Save the Rain initiative supports the 3rd grade lessons in 11 of the 19 Syracuse City School District elementary schools. Local corporations with a vested interest in promoting STEM education sponsor individual schools each year. Corporate and foundation sponsors for the current 2015/16 school year include: National Grid, SRC, Key Bank, Carrier, Lockheed Martin, Byrne Dairy, O’Brien and Gere, The Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation, Dominion, Upstate Medical University, Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation, Lockheed Martin Employee Federated Fund, Mohawk Global Logistics, Le Moyne College of Arts & Sciences, The Madden School of Business, First Niagara Bank, Daemon Barclay, and Time Warner Cable’s Connect a Million Minds. Baltimore Woods Nature Center and its certified educators implement the program.

Go fish! 30th annual Family Fun Fishing Day to be held June 26 By Ashley M. Casey June 23, 2016 While the jury is still out on whether Onondaga Lake is ready for swimmers, budding fishers can get their feet — or their fishing rods — wet at this weekend‟s Family Fun Fishing Day. Hosted by the Central New York Chapter of the Izaak Walton League in conjunction with New York State Free Fishing Day, Family Fun Fishing Day celebrates its 30th annual event this Sunday, June 26, at Willow Bay. Fishers of all ages can vie for prizes at Sunday‟s catch-and-release event without having to sign up for a fishing license. Families can participate in a “Learn to Fish” session before the Family Fun Fishing Derby, while more experienced anglers can compete in the Carp Fishing Tournament. “Exactly 30 years ago, the CNY chapter of the Izaak Walton League decided it would be a very good idea for the community to reconnect to Onondaga Lake as a resource for recreation and fishing,” said event organizer Al Daher. “They figured, „Hey, let‟s give Onondaga Lake a face lift.‟” Daher, who co-owns Mickey‟s Bait and Tackle in North Syracuse, said while a return to swimming in Onondaga Lake won‟t happen overnight, the lake is getting healthier. “Twenty-five years ago you could count the number of fish [species] surviving in Onondaga Lake on one hand,” he said, adding that more than 60 species can be found in the lake today. “It‟s getting cleaner, the plant life is coming back, the oxygen levels are increasing,” Daher said. “The water is getting clearer; it doesn‟t stink like it used to.” Kids who participate in the Family Fun Fishing Derby will be entered into a lottery for prizes, so no one should go home empty-handed. “Prizes and awards are not based on how many fish you catch or what kind of fish,” Daher said. “We eliminated that competitive component and it‟s really worked out — especially for the fish.” Carp fishers can win prizes at the tournament as well. In both the derby and the tournament, fish must be alive and unharmed to be weighed and measured, and they must be released immediately afterward.
http://www.eaglenewsonline.com/news/2016/06/23/go-fish-30th-annual-family-fun-fishing-day-to-be-heldjune-26
Daher said Family Fun Fishing Day is an opportunity for families to “enjoy the outdoors, get these kids away from these damn handheld objects … [and] teach them where their food comes from.” The Family Fun Fishing Derby gives families a chance to connect with nature and learn about the lake‟s recovery. “I think they learn that Onondaga Lake‟s not really a bad place and it‟s been getting a bad rap. They see the progress that‟s being made and it restores their faith. It‟s like a pride thing in the community,” Daher said. “I think maybe not our generation but certainly the next generation are going to see some amazing achievements.”

Rain-activated sidewalk art around Syracuse for environmental awareness campaign
June 27, 2016 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) The next time it rains, look down. Rain-activated sidewalk art is all a part of Onondaga County's Save The Rain "Connect the Drops" initiative. It’s meant to educate community members about the connection between littering, stormwater and the cleanliness of our lakes and water system. “All too often, things that actually get into the street find their way to our water bodies, so what we're really trying to do, we have this great campaign so every time it rains, you'll see these images appear reminding the community to keep litter out of the forecast,” said Tom Rhoads, Commissioner of the Department of Water/Environment Protection. Messages will be strategically located across the city all summer long. If you find one, post a picture to social media using the hashtag "Connect The Drops."

Special sidewalk art only shows up when it's wet, reminds you not to litter
June 30, 2016 SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The next time it rains take a look down at the sidewalk if you're walking through downtown Syracuse. Onondaga County is unveiling new sidewalk street art to encourage you to protect the environment and stop littering. County leaders gave us a sneak peak of what you'll see Thursday. The new sidewalk street art will only be visible in the rain and will last for a few months. The rain-activated art was recently engraved in three spots around the OnCenter, with the goal of reducing litter in our community. County leaders say every time it rains, litter in the street gets washed into the local sewer system. That litter can clog up the water treatment plant and flow directly into local streams and Onondaga Lake. They hope the art will serve as a friendly reminder to throw away trash and keep it off the street. The non-toxic art is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. It's part of the county's Save the Rain initiative.
