GRAY PROJECTS UPDATE

Gray Projects Update There were no gray projects underway in the Save the Rain program during the fourth quarter of 2017.

GREEN PROJECTS UPDATE

Green Projects Update During the fourth quarter, the County’s contractors focused on completing punch list items for the completed projects in 2017. These projects include:     

Lancaster Avenue Green Street Ackerman Avenue Green Street McKinley Avenue Green Street West Newell Street Green Street Vacant Lot at 621 West Newell Street

Also during the quarter, the designs of several GI projects progressed. The Firehouse No. 5 project in CSO 007 reached the 25% design phase and the Harbor Brook Green Streets projects on Lakeview Avenue, Richmond Avenue, West Genesee Street, Wilbur Avenue, and Magnolia Street progressed from the fieldwork phase into the design phase. Additionally, the green streets on Fairfield Avenue and Hutchinson Avenue within CSO 052 reached the final design phases. These projects are slated for construction in 2017 and 2018 and join the following projects ready for construction:      

Roney Lane Green Street (CSO 060/077) Comstock Avenue Green Street (CSO 060/077) McKinley Park Greening (CSO 067) Charmouth Drive Green Street (CSO 052) Elmhurst Avenue Green Street (CSO 052) South Avenue Green Street (CSO 052)

Construction of the pilot infiltration manhole projects on Bishop Avenue and Craddock Street remained on hold during the quarter due to unexpected delays caused by National Grid’s gas main replacement projects. National Grid expects to complete their work by the first quarter of 2018 and the infiltration manhole projects will be constructed in 2018. Letters were sent to residents on Bishop Ave and Craddock Street to update them on the construction schedule. Construction of the 2017 Road Reconstruction green infrastructure projects was completed during the quarter. The projects on East Colvin Street, Wellesley Road, Prospect Avenue, and Hastings Place were constructed by the City’s contractor and funded by the County via an intermunicipal agreement between the two entities. All of the work was completed except for three of the infiltration trenches on East Colvin Street and one infiltration trench on Hastings Place. The remaining work will be completed in spring 2018. In total, the four projects will capture over 3.5 million gallons of stormwater annually when they are all fully complete. The City handled public outreach for each project, notifying surrounding residents and businesses what to expect during construction.

The County holds public information meetings for all of the projects in motion and expects an uptick in meetings during the winter and spring of 2017/2018 prior to the start of the 2018 construction season. Finally, the County received design proposals from qualified design professionals during the fourth quarter for the six additional GI projects in CSO 060/077. Design of these projects is expected to begin in early 2018.

Project Description: The Fire Station No. 5 project is another example of the Save the Rain Program targeting a specific priority area for green infrastructure implementation. This project, within the CSO 007 sewershed, is intended to reduce pollution to Harbor Brook and Onondaga Lake. The project will help to reduce the overflows from the Harbor Brook Intercepting Sewer, all the while providing a new parking lot at Fire Station No. 5, located on N. Geddes Street. Infiltration trenches will be constructed beneath the parking lot at the Fire Station. This green infrastructure practice provides water quality improvement through infiltration and storage, reducing overflows. The underground infiltration trench will capture a very large volume of stormwater runoff beneath the parking area. Upon completion, the underground infiltration trench will capture runoff from approximately 3/4 acre of impervious area from the fire station parking lot, building roof and North Geddes Street, reducing stormwater runoff to the combined sewer by approximately 570,000 gallons annually.

(estimated) 945,000 gal/yr (estimated) 2017 (projected) $625,000 (engineer’s estimate) D.E. Tarolli and J&J Landscaping

Project Description: The McKinley Park Project is one of many projects accomplished through the collaborative efforts of Onondaga County Save the Rain and the City of Syracuse Parks and Recreation Department. 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 the CSO 067 area. This project implements various green infrastructure technologies, including bioretention (also known as rain gardens) and porous pavement with an underground infiltration system. This infrastructure will capture runoff from the park and surrounding areas, totaling 51,000 square feet of drainage area. Stormwater will slowly soak into the ground or evaporate, eliminating excess runoff into 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. Existing pavement formerly used as a tennis court was removed entirely and replaced with open green space. Additionally, the former basketball half court was replaced with a full-sized porous pavement basketball court in partnership with the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation’s Courts4Kids Program. Court construction was finished during the summer with a ribbon cutting on August 1. Construction of the remaining improvements is scheduled to be completed in 2018. When the project is complete, an estimated 945,000 gallons of stormwater runoff per year will be removed from the combined sewer in the CSO 067 area.

Project Description: The Green Separation of CSO 052 Project was accomplished through the collaborative efforts of Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. Historically, the area around the proposed detention basin had been prone to severe flooding throughout the year. This was due, in part, to years of illegal dumping that impacted the natural surface and groundwater flow patterns. The County and the City partnered to help limit this problem through the installation of a slow-release stormwater detention basin and infiltration system. Additionally, the County undertook 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 is constructed on property owned by the City of Syracuse and captures runoff from South and Cornell Avenues as well as from the City-owned property, totaling 890,400 square feet of drainage area. The facility has storage capacity for 1,155,700 gallons of stormwater. Stormwater will be slowly released to the Armstrong Place combined sewer system over time. 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 is 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. The Mitchell Avenue storm sewer system was constructed August 2016 - September 2016. Construction of the detention basins off of South Avenue started in 2016 and was completed in Fall 2017.

Project Description: The East Colvin Street Road Reconstruction project exemplifies the continued partnership between Onondaga County Save the Rain and the City of Syracuse Department of Public Works for the inclusion of green infrastructure in road reconstruction work. This application, within the CSO 060/077 area, is intended to reduce pollution to Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake. The project is installing six separate underground infiltration trenches spanning East Colvin Street between Jamesville and Comstock avenues. Each underground infiltration trench has varying widths, lengths and depths. This is due to multiple factors such as avoiding conflicts with water, sewer or electrical utilities. Stormwater runoff will be captured from the street new and existing catch basins, allowing the water to infiltrate into the stone storage and soak into the ground. High flows from heavy rain storms (above one inch over two hours) will flow back into the combined sewer system for safety. Construction of an East Colvin Street Infiltration Trench The streetscape will not look different after the work is complete, as the trenches are completely underground with no visible features at the surface. In 2017, three of the six infiltration trenches were constructed, with the remaining three to be constructed in Spring 2018. When complete, this project will manage runoff from 122,060 square feet of impervious drainage area, equating to approximately 2,149,700 gallons of stormwater runoff annually, within the high priority area of CSO 060/077.

Project Description: The Road Reconstruction project on Hastings Place exemplifies the continued partnership between Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. This project is another example of Onondaga County partnering with the City of Syracuse Department of Public Works through their road reconstruction program for the installation of green infrastructure. This project, within the CSO 073A area, is intended to reduce pollution to Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake and is the thirteenth road reconstruction partnership project between the County and City under the Save the Rain program. This is also the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first green infrastructure project in CSO 073A, in the Ley Creek Sewershed. The project uses four underground infiltration trenches between James Street and the end of the street at Sunnycrest Park, to manage the runoff from Hastings Place and portions of Melrose Avenue. The four infiltration trenches are designed to manage runoff from varying areas of Hastings Place and Melrose Avenue to maximize the stormwater capture for the benefit of the environment. High flows from large rain events (more than one inch of rain over the course of a two hour period) will flow into the existing combined sewer system for safety. The streetscape will not look different after the work is complete, as the trenches are completely underground with no visible features at the surface. This project manages 45,322 square feet of impervious drainage area, equating to approximately 801,000 gallons of stormwater runoff annually, in CSO 073A. Trenches 1-3 were completed in 2017 with trench 4 expected to be completed in early 2018. Version 12/28/2017

Project Description: The Road Reconstruction project on Prospect Avenue exemplifies the continued partnership between Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. This project is another example of Onondaga County partnering with the City of Syracuse Department of Public Works through their road reconstruction program for the installation of green infrastructure. This project, within the CSO 020 area, is intended to reduce pollution to Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake and is the twelfth road reconstruction project completed through this partnership under the Save the Rain program. The project uses one underground infiltration trench on Prospect Avenue between East Laurel Street and Butternut Street, adjacent to St. Joseph’s Hospital, to manage the runoff from the avenue. Prospect Avenue is very steep, and as a result, the underground infiltration trench has five “steps” to manage the change in grade while also maximizing the stormwater capture. High flows from large rain events (more than one inch of rain over the course of a two hour period) will flow into the existing combined sewer system for safety. The streetscape will not look different after the work is complete, as the trenches are completely underground with no visible features at the surface. This project manages 15,840 square feet of impervious drainage area, for a total capture of approximately 280,000 gallons of stormwater runoff annually, in the medium priority area of CSO 020.

FACT SHEET Vacant Lot at 621 W. Newell Street Project Description: This project is one of several Save the Rain projects on West Newell Street in 2017. The 621 West Newell Street vacant lot was taken into ownership by the City of Syracuse in the year 2000. The lot has remained vacant since then and the site contains 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 technology included with this project is a bioretention basin (also known as a rain garden). The bioretention basin is between the sidewalk and existing tree line on the vacant lot parcel and is designed to capture stormwater from West Newell Street via existing catch basins. The drainage area extends on West Newell Street from Vale Street to Baldwin Avenue. The bioretention area is planted with native plants and serves as a community beautification feature as well as stormwater management. Five apple trees were also planted as part of this project. All runoff from this one block stretch of road on West Newell Street is drained into a green infrastructure practice, instead of the combined sewer system. In total, this green infrastructure captures approximately 159,065 gallons of stormwater annually.

Project Description: The Park Avenue Lantern Corporation project, also known as the Dietz Factory Redevelopment, located at 225 Wilkinson Street was completed in 2017. This Green Improvement Fund project installed three underground detention basins to capture, store, and slowly release stormwater runoff from parking areas and the roof of the building. The project also added green space areas that were formerly impervious. This project was part of a larger redevelopment of the Dietz Factory building converting the previously largely unused factory building to a mixed-use residential and commercial structure. Due to clay soils surrounding the project site, there was low infiltration capacity at this location. The green infrastructure was designed to capture the stormwater, store it, and slowly release it over time; reducing the peak flows that reach the CSO 066 combined sewer system in wet weather. The underground detention basin systems can store approximately 98,000 gallons of stormwater, when full. Approximately 9,500 square feet of green space was also added around the project site in areas that were formerly impervious cover.

Project Description: The Jubilee Homes Green Improvement Fund (GIF) project, located at 601 South Avenue, was completed in 2017. This project was part of the construction of a PriceRite grocery store in an area of the City of Syracuse commonly referred to as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;food desertâ&#x20AC;? because of the lack of grocery options for local residents. The green infrastructure work included porous pavement, underground infiltration, and bioretention systems. The project included rehabilitating and expanding an existing building and constructing a new parking lot. Porous Pavement Parking Lot Porous pavement was installed in a portion of the parking lot, at the low end of the lot to collect runoff from the standard pavement portions. The bioretention area manages overflow from the porous pavement system, as well as a small portion of impervious area of the parking lot. Additionally, stormwater runoff from the building roof and remainder of the parking lot is collected and conveyed to an underground infiltration system beneath the parking lot. In total, 94,395 square feet of impervious area is managed by the installed green infrastructure, equating to approximately 1,662,400 gallons of stormwater runoff capture annually.

Project Description: The Tan A Grocery Store project, located at 414 Ash Street, was completed in 2017. This Green Improvement Fund project installed two underground infiltration basins to capture, store, and infiltrate stormwater runoff. This green infrastructure was part of a larger expansion of the Tan A Grocery Store. The project also included added green space areas that were formerly impervious and the addition of 6 new tree plantings. Highly infiltrating soils were present at the project site, and the green infrastructure was designed to Construction of the Underground Infiltration take advantage of these soils to maximize Basin stormwater capture. The two underground infiltration basins were constructed with stormwater chambers and infiltration stone. The chambers offer the advantage of high storage volume with a small footprint. The infiltration basins store over 1,200 cubic feet of stormwater. Additionally, approximately 2,300 square feet of green space was added around the project site in areas that were formerly impervious surfaces. In total, 11,990 square feet of impervious area is managed by this green infrastructure, capturing approximately 226,100 gallons of stormwater runoff annually in medium priority CSO 020.

“Analysis of Phytoplankton Community Dynamics: Is Onondaga Lake at Risk for Cyanobacterial Blooms?” Cyanobacterial blooms, also known as blue-green algal blooms or harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and have become increasingly common in freshwater systems globally, including in many New York lakes. The NYSDEC Division of Water issued "water-bodies with blue-green algae notices" for several freshwater lakes in New York State during the summer of 2017. In New York, HABs have been documented in lakes with a range of phosphorus concentrations; many lakes experiencing cyanobacterial blooms have summer average total phosphorus (TP) concentrations well below the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) guidance value of 20 µg/L. Several waterbodies with blooms were listed by the NYSDEC on their Harmful Algal Blooms (HAB’S) notifications webpage in several locations in the state. These include Canandaigua Lake, Cayuga Lake, Conesus Lake, Honeoye Lake, Keuka Lake, Owasco Lake and Skaneateles Lake. Although cyanobacteria have not dominated the phytoplankton assembly in Onondaga Lake in recent years, they are always present in the phytoplankton assemblage. Nutrient enrichment, warming waters, invasive species and changing food webs have all been implicated as potential factors affecting cyanobacterial abundance.

Onondaga Lake, in contrast to nearby Oneida Lake and the Finger Lakes, has not exhibited cyanobacterial blooms in recent years, despite summer TP concentrations in the range of 20 – 30 µg/L. The attached white paper prepared by EcoLogic, WEP’s consultant examines the detailed water chemistry and biology data collected as part of the County’s AMP from decades of monitoring and research to explore why Onondaga Lake differs, and evaluates the risk of future HABs in this recovering ecosystem.

Invasive Round Goby and Rudd in Onondaga Lake

Round Goby Round Gobies were first collected in Onondaga Lake in 2010 and have continued to increase in abundance. Like Alewife they are preyed on by larger, fish-eating species and have been frequently observed being regurgitated by Largemouth Bass during electrofishing sampling events in Onondaga Lake. Round Gobies were the most common food source of Largemouth Bass in Onondaga Lake based on the analysis of 137 stomach samples collected between May and July 2013. Where abundant, Round

Goby can cause declines in native fish populations through their aggressive defense of nesting sites, predation on native fish and their eggs, and competition for food resource. Additionally, Round Gobies are capable of spawning every 18-20 days and may potentially do so up to six times during a breeding season. This reproductive pattern gives them an ecological advantage over native species, which usually spawn only once. Impacts of the Round Goby invasion of Onondaga Lake are uncertain. However, in the Great Lakes and other areas where the Round Goby has become established, they have had a severely negative impact on native benthic fish populations, such as the Mottled Sculpin and Logperch.

Rudd The first documented occurrence of Rudd in Onondaga Lake was in 1994 when three individuals were captured. Every year since 2008, SUNY ESF, as part of the Honeywell monitoring program, has captured Rudd in trap nets with increasing frequency. The number of Rudd collected increased from 12 in 2008 to a high of 315 in 2014. In 2016 the total catch decreased to 32 Rudd. Hybridization between Rudd and Golden Shiner is probable, and such hybridization could threaten the genetic integrity of Golden Shiner. Impacts on other native fishes are also a possibility. Small Rudd are vulnerable to predatory fish such as Northern Pike which select Rudd over Eurasian Perch, suggesting the potential to disrupt natural predator-prey relationships. This disruption may not necessarily be entirely negative since a preference for Rudd over other prey species by one predator may reduce competition among predators for other prey species. The other prey species may also benefit from reduced predation pressure if one or more predators shift their diets to include more Rudd. Competition with native fishes for food is also a concern. In New Zealand, young-of-year Rudd fed on zooplankton and chironomids and larger Rudd fed on benthic invertebrates but became increasingly herbivorous with increasing size Feeding on zooplankton and chironomids could lead to competition between Rudd and many native fishes during the fishesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; early life stages.

Executive Summary Harmful algal blooms (HABs) dominated by cyanobacteria are becoming increasingly common in freshwater systems globally, including in many lakes in the United States (Ho and Michilak 2015). Often such blooms occur in hypertrophic lakes and streams, and anthropogenic nutrient enrichment, especially by phosphorus, is usually seen as the principal driving factor. Indeed, efforts to reduce anthropogenic sources of phosphorus in lakes, rivers and streams of the United States in the late 1970s and 1980s led to improvement in nutrient conditions and reduction in the frequency of HABs, and, since then, the management of water quality has focused, therefore, principally on controlling total phosphorus (TP) concentrations. Before remediation began in Onondaga Lake, HABs were common, but with reduced inputs of phosphorus, resulting from advanced nutrient treatment at the Metropolitan Syracuse Wastewater Treatment Plant (Metro), major blooms were eliminated and minor blooms have occurred only infrequently. Nonetheless, renewed awareness of the manifold factors that affect HABs, the continued occurrence of HABs in nearby Oneida Lake, and increased occurrence in the New York Finger Lakes and Lake Erie suggest that it is prudent to investigate the likelihood of HABs returning to a recovering Onondaga Lake. Moreover, there is evidence from recent years that algal blooms are becoming more common in Onondaga Lake, and cyanobacteria are becoming more abundant. The recent increase in the frequency of HABs and their geographically widespread occurrence, including in oligotrophic, mesotrophic and eutrophic lakes, has spurred research into potential contributing factors other than the ambient phosphorus concentration. Although some of the apparent increase in the occurrence of HABs globally may be due to increased awareness of the public health threats of the toxic species that comprise many HABs, interest has focused as well on several biotic and abiotic factors. Among abiotic factors, nutrient enrichment remains a major focus, and, in some cases, excess phosphorus remains the principal culprit, perhaps more often coming from diffuse non-point sources resulting from changes in land-use, rather than from point sources such as wastewater treatment facilities. But inputs of other nutrients, especially nitrogen, or the relative amounts of two or more nutrients (stoichiometry) may also play a role. The light environment can also be important. Many cyanobacteria speciesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the most important component of HABsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;use light more efficiently than do other phytoplankton species, especially under low-light conditions

White Paper: Potential HABs in Onondaga Lake 1

(Anneville et al. 2015, Filtstup et al. 2016). Furthermore, cyanobacteria can regulate their buoyancy and form surface concentrations that effectively reduce the transparency of the water, giving cyanobacteria an advantage over species lower in the water column. Increasing water temperatures and other climate interactions may also play an important role. Several cyanobacteria species have higher optimum temperatures for growth than do eukaryotic species, giving them an advantage in a globally warming climate. Biotic factors may also play a role through both “top-down” or indirect “bottom-up” effects in the food-web. Selective filtration by invasive zebra and quagga mussels (Dreissenidae) can lead to the dominance of at least some cyanobacteria in the phytoplankton assemblage (Vanderploeg et al. 2001), although under other circumstances dreissenid grazing can reduce cyanobacteria biomass (Waajen et al. 2016). Dreissenid mussel grazing may also affect the availability of phosphorus in the system, representing an indirect “bottom-up” effect, encouraging phytoplankton growth, including that of cyanobacteria. Predation by zooplanktivorous fish may have an important “top-down” effect of increasing phytoplankton biomass by relieving grazing. While cyanobacteria still comprise a small proportion of the phytoplankton community of Onondaga Lake, the fact that their relative abundance has recently increased coupled with the widespread occurrences both globally and in nearby New York waterbodies are of concern. Lake managers need to continue investigating the potential factors causing this increase.

Introduction Cyanobacterial blooms, also known as blue-green algal blooms or harmful algal blooms (HABs), have become increasingly common in freshwater systems globally, including in many New York lakes. Nutrient enrichment, warming waters, invasive species and changing food webs have all been implicated as potential factors affecting cyanobacterial abundance. In New York, HABs have been documented in lakes with a wide range of phosphorus concentrations; many lakes experiencing cyanobacterial blooms have summer average total phosphorus (TP) concentrations well below the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) guidance value of 20 µg/L. All eleven New York Finger Lakes and Oneida Lake experienced cyanobacterial blooms during summer 2017. Onondaga Lake, in contrast, has not had cyanobacterial blooms in recent years, despite summer TP concentrations in the range of 17 – 25 µg/L. This White Paper examines the detailed water chemistry and phytoplankton data from decades of monitoring and research to explore why Onondaga Lake differs, and evaluate the risk of future HABs in this recovering ecosystem.

Onondaga Lake Phytoplankton Community: History and Recent Changes As part of its long-term ambient monitoring program, Onondaga County Department of Environment Protection (OCDWEP) has sampled and analyzed the phytoplankton community, in addition to monitoring the algal pigment chlorophyll-a. Cyanobacterial blooms were common in Onondaga Lake prior to 2005, when advanced phosphorus removal came on line at the Metropolitan Syracuse Wastewater Treatment Plant (Metro). Between 1998 and 2004, cyanobacteria comprised a significant component of the phytoplankton community during the

June to September recreational period (Figure 1). Implementation of advanced phosphorus treatment has led to a substantial decrease in both phytoplankton biomass and the proportional contribution of cyanobacteria to the community (Baker 2013).

The Onondaga County Ambient Monitoring Program uses chlorophyll-a concentration to indicate bloom conditions; 15 µg/L is the threshold for a “minor” bloom and 30 µg/L indicates a “major” bloom. There have been only minor blooms since 2005 (Figure 2), and none have been dominated by cyanobacteria. Some of these minor blooms have occurred in the spring when diatoms and green algae dominate the community.

Although cyanobacteria have not dominated the phytoplankton assembly in recent years, there has been an increase in their total biomass and their proportional contribution to the community since 2012. On 18 sampling days between 6 April and 5 December 2016, the proportional contribution of cyanobacteria to the phytoplankton biomass varied from near zero to 39% (Figure 4 and Table 1) but was generally low overall, constituting only 11% of the open water phytoplankton biomass, except for a large biomass of Pseudoanabena (reaching 302 Âľg/L) on 9/27. During the two dates on which minor blooms occurred (9/13 and 9/27), the contribution of cyanobacteria was relatively high at 11% and 18%, respectively, but it was as high or higher on several other dates on which chlorophyll-a concentrations were low.

Environmental Conditions That Encourage Cyanobacterial Growth Nutrient Stoichiometry The absolute or relative concentrations of nutrient elements other than phosphorus may contribute to the growth of cyanobacteria. For example, the ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus (TN:TP) may determine whether or not HABs occur, and HABs are thought to be rare in lakes where N:P ratios exceed 29:1 (by weight) (Filstrup et al. 2016, Smith 1983). This is partly because cyanobacteria can take up and use nitrogen more efficiently than true (eukaryotic) algae, thus potentially giving cyanobacteria a competitive advantage in conditions where the concentration of nitrogen becomes limiting. In fact, some cyanobacteria, unlike eukaryotic algae and plants, can

White Paper: Potential HABs in Onondaga Lake 5

“fix” atmospheric molecular nitrogen (N2) dissolved in the water. Nitrogen-fixing ability, however, is not the only attribute of cyanobacteria that can increase their competitive ability over other phytoplankton. Many non-Nfixing cyanobacteria species have superior nitrogen storage capacity, and Ferber et al. (2004) found that cyanobacteria had a small proportion of “fixed” N2, accumulating N in inorganic form, principally as ammonia but also as nitrate-. A review by Beutel et al. (2016) demonstrated that addition of nitrate to surface waters affects water-quality improvements by several routes, including the suppression of cyanobacteria in favor of eukaryotic algae, mostly greens. In an early Swedish study (Ripl and Lindmark 1979), addition of nitrate to a group of small quarry lakes converted the plankton community from one dominated by cyanobacteria and small-bodied zooplankton to one dominated by green algae and large-bodied zooplankton. In Onondaga Lake, nitrification of the Metro effluent began in 2004, greatly reducing the loading of ammonia to the lake and increasing the water-column concentration of nitrate by a factor of 2. This brought about several salutary effects on the lake’s water quality, including a late summer reduction in the mobilization of phosphorus from the sediments. Since 2011, concentrations of nitrate have been augmented by the addition of hypolimnetic calcium nitrate to prolong these effects. It is difficult to separate the reduction of phosphorus from the increase in nitrogen in their effects on the phytoplankton community, but, in addition to any effect on phytoplankton community structure, nitrate additions have reduced internal phosphorus loading, further curtailing eutrophication and the concomitant encouragement of HABs. It has also reduced the methylation of mercury in the sediments and its entrance into the food chain, and has improved water quality in several other ways.

Light In any given nutrient environment, cyanobacteria may realize a competitive advantage over other types of phytoplankton because of their more efficient use of light (Ferber et al. 2004, Kosten et al. 2012, Smith 1983, 1986). Not only do cyanobacteria grow more rapidly, especially under low-light conditions, but because they have buoyancy-regulating gas vacuoles, they rise to the surface and shade out other species, and because their buoyancy reduces their sinking rate, cyanobacteria remain in the well-lighted, upper level of the water column. As surface scums, cyanobacteria are also moved by wind-driven currents and may accumulate on leeward shores or protected embayments.

Climate Change There are several reasons to predict that global climate change will favor the growth of cyanobacteria in surface waters, leading to an increase in the frequency of HABs, and the increased frequency of HABs worldwide is likely not due solely to increased eutrophication (Mantzouki et al. 2016, Paerl and Otten 2016). The direct and indirect effects of warming may play an important role in changing the properties of aquatic ecosystems (Elliott 2012; Kosten et al. 2012; Paerl and Huisman 2008). Warmer waters directly favor cyanobacteria over eukaryotic algae because the optimal temperature for the growth of many cyanobacteria is greater than that for most algae species (Butterwick et al. 2005). Warmer surface water temperatures are also associated with more stable thermal stratification and less turbulent mixing.

White Paper: Potential HABs in Onondaga Lake 6

In addition, the thermocline in these warmed lakes will be shallower and more stable for a longer time, which can encourage the growth of certain cyanobacteria taxa (Paerl and Huisman 2008). Under stable water column conditions, positively buoyant cyanobacteria will be able to regulate their position in the water column and remain in the euphotic zone, while negatively buoyant algae will sink in the absence of turbulent mixing. The concentration of cyanobacteria in surface layers will shade levels beneath the surface, further enhancing the growth advantage of the cyanobacteria on the surface. Furthermore, dense light-absorbing aggregations of cyanobacteria near the surface will further warm the water, enhancing the dominance of the cyanobacteria. Dense phytoplankton growth can outstrip the supply of C, but buoyant cyanobacteria, closer to the surface will have better access to CO2 diffusing from the surface and to atmospheric CO2 that is continuing to increase. Other attributes of a changing climate may affect the occurrence of HABs. Intensified precipitation will lead to higher terrestrial nutrient-laden runoff, exacerbating eutrophication and further encouraging blooms. Other extreme events associated with global climate change may increase the likelihood of HABs. Heatwaves, for example, especially those accompanied by sunny calm weather conditions, have been associated with local cyanobacterial blooms.

Comparison to Oneida Lake Average summer values of chlorophyll-a concentrations and inferred phytoplankton densities in Oneida Lake are lower than those in Onondaga Lake, although total phosphorus concentrations in the two lakes are similar (Cuhel and Aguilar 2016). Oneida Lake is shallower than Onondaga Lake and more of its bottom is suitable for dreissenid mussel grazing. Nonetheless, large summer blooms of cyanobacteria and concentrations of cyanobacterial toxins over current health guidelines occur during the summer in Oneida Lake (Dr. Greg Boyer, personal communication 2017). One relevant difference between the two lakes with regard to cyanobacteria blooms is their different N:P ratios. It is well-documented that cyanobacteria dominate primarily in lakes with N:P ratios (by weight) below 29 (Smith 1983). The low proportion of cyanobacteria in Onondaga Lake is consistent with its elevated summer N:P ratio, which has been well above the 29:1 threshold since before 1998. This ratio has been very high, over 100:1 since 2007 (Figure 5). This is not the case in Oneida Lake, where summer N:P ratios are substantially lower. Between 2011 and 2016, the N:P ratio varies between 14 and 26 with summer minima between 6 and 15 (Rudstam 2017). Thus, N is more limiting in Oneida Lake giving cyanobacteria a competitive advantage. Other attributes potentially promoting cyanobacteria (total P concentrations, warmer temperatures, more stable water column, and increased P release from sediments) do not appear to be dramatically different in the two lakes.

Lessons from Other Regional Lakes All the Finger Lakes have experienced cyanobacterial blooms, even oligotrophic lakes (e.g., Skaneateles), but HABs have become more common in Conesus, Honeoye, Canandaigua, Seneca, Owasco and Otisco Lakes. Although Honeoye is eutrophic, with TP between 30 and 45 µg/L, Cayuga, Seneca, Owasco and Otisco are mesotrophic (10<TP<20 µg/L). In 2017, HABs in eight Finger Lakes (Canandaigua, Cayuga, Keuka, Honeoye, Oneida, Owasco, Seneca, and Skaneateles Lakes) were associated with cyanobacterial toxins (http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/83310.html ). Cayuga and Owasco Lakes experienced HABs in mid to late summer in 2016 and 2017, and, in the case of Owasco Lake, cyanobacteria toxins were detected in the City of Auburn’s municipal water supply. Classification of the trophic status of these lakes is typically made from mid-lake sites, while the HABs typically occur in nearshore locations; cyanobacterial concentrations in blooms far exceed those of open-water. In certain areas, such as nearshore Conesus Lake (Makarewicz et al. 2009), nutrient-laden terrestrial runoff augments the ambient nearshore phosphorus concentrations. However, nearshore concentrations of nutrients in Onondaga, Cayuga, and Owasco Lakes are similar to pelagic values (D. Matthews, pers. com. 2017). Furthermore, the buoyancy-control of many cyanobacteria concentrates them in surface scums carried to nearshore locations by wind-driven currents. In Owasco Lake, the HABs occurred in mid-summer, when air and water temperatures were at their highest and abated when water temperatures decreased. The most intense blooms are typically associated with calm, sunny days, with maximum thermal stratification of the surface and little wind-induced mixing.

White Paper: Potential HABs in Onondaga Lake 8

Conclusions Clearly, the causes of cyanobacterial blooms are complex. While high concentrations of limiting nutrients, e.g., phosphorus, have been the principal culprit in hypertrophic and eutrophic bodies of freshwater, it is now clear that less productive waterbodies are not immune from HABs. Onondaga Lake is now less productive than it was before remediation was undertaken, and major algal blooms and the abundance of cyanobacteria has greatly declined. The N:P ratio of the upper waters appears to be a key indicator of risk of HABs, likely exacerbated by warming and more quiescent conditions. While the evidence from Onondaga Lake reviewed here does not suggest an imminent threat of cyanobacterial blooms, the recent increase in the importance of cyanobacteria in the lake’s phytoplankton community, the presence of toxic genera of cyanobacteria in Onondaga Lake, and the experience of HABs in nearby mesotrophic lakes suggest watchfulness.

New York State Announces $86.4 Million in Economic and Community Development Resources Awarded to Local Areas Through 2017 Regional Council Competition December 15, 2017 On Wednesday December 13th, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced that more than $755 million in economic and community development funding has been awarded through Round VII of the Regional Economic Development Council initiative. A centerpiece of the Governor’s strategy to jumpstart the economy and create jobs, the Regional Councils were established in 2011 to replace the state’s old topdown approach to economic development, with one that is community-based and performance-driven. The initiative empowers community, business, and academic leaders, as well as members of the public in each region of the state, to develop strategic plans specifically tailored to their region’s unique strengths and resources in order to create jobs, improve quality of life and grow the economy. […] Local Award award highlights include: Cogeneration Units at Metropolitan WWTP Onondaga County Department of Water Environment Protection will construct improvements at the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in Syracuse on the eastern shore of Onondaga Lake, that will allow the plant to utilize methane gas produced as a result of accepting food waste into its digestion system. Work will include installation of two cogeneration units to convert excess methane into electricity, reducing electricity dependence from the grid. Onondaga County Onondaga Lake Waterfront Planning Onondaga County Onondaga County will prepare a Feasibility Study for beach access along the eastern shore of Onondaga Lake, design Reports for the 2.8-mile gap in the County’s Loop-the-Lake Trail spanning from the end of the Onondaga Creekwalk behind the Destiny USA Mall to the northern tip of the lake, and a Market Analysis including public visioning for redevelopment of county-owned waterfront properties. Onondaga County South Salina Street Green Corridor Onondaga County will transform multiple blocks of South Salina Street into a green street corridor to prevent combined sewer overflows from discharging to Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake. Bioretention and stormwater street trees will be used to infiltrate stormwater along the corridor before it enters the existing combined sewer system. Syracuse City Ballet Administrative Workforce Expansion Syracuse City Ballet will hire a Community Youth Outreach and Education Coordinator to expand the company’s ability to provide education enhancing ballet and dance programs to children in Central New York, with a focus on children living in poverty and those with disabilities.

See luxury apartments at former Syracuse lantern factory

By Rick Moriarty Decemeber 27, 2017

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The old Dietz lantern factory in Syracuse has come back to life as luxury apartments and commercial space. Owner Larry Losty Jr. and his son-in-law, Matthew Paulus, have completed a $33 million redevelopment of the former R.E. Dietz Co. factory at 225-303 Wilkinson St. in Syracuse's Park Avenue neighborhood. The upper three floors of the four-story building contain 92 apartments (71 onebedroom, 18 two-bedroom and three three-bedroom units). The first floor contains 50,000 square feet of commercial space. Amenities include basement parking, a fitness center and a business center for use by tenants, and a pet-washing station. Monthly rents at Dietz Lofts range from $1,200 to $2,650, with the average rent about $1,650.

http://www.syracuse.com/businessnews/index.ssf/2017/12/see_luxury_apartments_at_former_syracuse_lantern_factory.html

Located next to Leavenworth Park, the 208,000-square-foot Dietz factory was built in the late 1800s and underwent several expansions in the early 1900s. By the 1960s, it employed approximately 600 people. Losty bought the building from the Dietz family after the factory closed in 1992 and operated his office furniture business, Superior Office Interiors, out of a portion of it while he planned the building's redevelopment. "Twenty years ago, I had the vision, but this is better than I ever imagined," he said. About 75 percent of the apartments are leased. Jacobsen Oriental Rugs and Carpets, O Yoga Studio, Daniel Manning Architect and Walton Architectural Group are commercial tenants. Paulus said the building is attracting tenants who want to be close to downtown but also have the convenience of basement parking and a city park to take a stroll or walk their dogs. "The building has all of the amenities and conveniences of being near downtown without being downtown," he said. In a nod to the structure's industrial past, Losty and Paulus have re-created the Dietz factory's painted signs on the front of the building. And the common areas on the first floor contain displays of Dietz lanterns loaned to the project by the Onondaga Historical Association. The state is providing the project with a $900,000 grant through its Regional Economic Development Council initiative. In addition, Onondaga County is providing a $517,000 grant through its Save the Rain program. The project also is eligible for state and federal historic preservation tax credits.
