GRAY PROJECTS UPDATE

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

GREEN PROJECTS UPDATE

Green Projects Update Progress continued on several Save the Rain projects during the third quarter of 2017.

Construction of the Green Separation in CSO 052 project at South and Mitchell avenues reached the substantial completion phase during the quarter, and the two detention basins began receiving stormwater runoff from South Avenue and Cornell Avenue. In conjunction with the separate storm sewer and infiltration facility on Mitchell Avenue that was constructed in 2016, this project is projected to capture over 2 million gallons of stormwater runoff annually.

During the third quarter, construction was completed on three of the green street candidate projects in CSO 060/077. The Lancaster Avenue project was fully completed and the Ackerman Avenue and McKinley Avenue projects reached the punch list phase.

Between the three projects, the estimated stormwater capture is greater than 5 million gallons annually. The Roney Lane green street project in CSO 060/077 reached 100% design and was circulated to the County’s term construction contractors for construction in the future. It joins the other designs CSO 060/077 green street project on Comstock Avenue as large green street projects expected to be constructed in 2018. The County’s Save the Rain team has been engaged the public through a variety of community groups in the area from through the design and construction phases, including the Outer Comstock Neighborhood Association, Southeast University Neighborhood Association, Eastside TNT, and other interested residents. Additional public outreach will continue as these projects continue to advance.

Construction was also completed on two of the green infrastructure projects within the CSO 067 area during this quarter. The Newell Street Vacant Lot project at 621 West Newell Street captures approximately 160,000 gallons of stormwater annually and manages the runoff within a rain garden installed on the former vacant lot. Five apple trees were also planted on the vacant lot and a bench was installed as a community asset where children are picked up by school buses. One block away, the Newell Street green street project was also completed during the third quarter. This one-block infiltration trench captures approximately 100,000 gallons of stormwater annually and soaks it into the ground. The remaining CSO 067 green infrastructure project at McKinley Park is expected to be constructed in Spring 2018 after National Grid completes the installation of a new gas main, retiring an existing main that was over 100 years old. Community engagement for all three of these projects along Newell Street has included monthly meetings with the Southside Interfaith Community Coalition, as well as email communication and door hangers to those near each project area.

Construction of the pilot infiltration manhole projects was paused during the quarter due to unexpected delays with National Grid’s work to replace gas mains. It is expected that these projects will resume and construction will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Construction of the 2017 Road Reconstruction green infrastructure projects began during the quarter. These projects on East Colvin Street, Wellesley Road, Prospect Avenue, and Hastings Place are being constructed by the City’s contractor and funded by the County via an intermunicipal agreement between the two entities. Three of the six infiltration trenches on East Colvin Street were constructed, with the remaining three to be constructed in Spring 2018. The two infiltration trenches on Wellesley Road were constructed along with the one infiltration trench on Prospect Avenue. Construction of the four infiltration trenches on Hastings Place also began during the quarter with completion expected in in the fourth quarter. 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 efforts of the Green Planning Committee (GPC) continue to advance progress of public project planning within the Save the Rain program. The 100% design was completed for the CSO 052 Green Streets candidates on South Avenue, Charmouth Drive and Elmhurst Avenue during the quarter and circulated to the County’s term construction contractors for immediate construction. The remaining CSO 052 green street candidates on Fairfield Avenue and Hutchinson Avenue remain in the 90% design phase and are expected to reach 100% design during the fourth quarter. The County held a second public information meeting at the Believer’s Chapel near these green street candidates in August and attendees were updated on the design and construction schedule moving forward.

The design kickoff meetings for the Harbor Brook project candidates occurred during the third quarter. Detailed design for these projects is expected to begin during the fourth quarter. Finally, the Green Planning Committee finalized the additional six green infrastructure project candidates in CSO 060/077. The County will be receiving design proposals from the qualified design professionals during the fourth quarter with detailed design expected to begin thereafter.

The County selected a design consultant for the CSO 029 project with detailed design and further discussions with the NYSDEC expected to begin in the fourth quarter.

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 on the remaining improvements is scheduled to be completed in 2018. When the project is fully completed, an estimated 945,000 gallons of stormwater runoff per year will be removed from the combined sewer in the CSO 067 area.

3,781,200 gal/yr 2016 $2,428,000 Marcellus Construction Co., Inc.

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 was 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 was 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. The detention basins off of South Avenue started construction in 2016 with the majority of work now complete. Tree plantings in Fall 2017 are the final step to finish construction.

Project Description: The Green Streets in CSO 052 Project is another example of the Save the Rain Program targeting a specific priority area for green infrastructure implementation. This application, within the CSO 052 sewershed, is intended to reduce pollution to Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake. The project will be located on eight streets within the City: Elmhurst Avenue, South Avenue, Robineau Avenue, Charmouth Drive, Fairfield Avenue, Fletcher Avenue, Edgewood Avenue, and Hutchinson Avenue.

The project will use two types of green infrastructure practices: underground infiltration trenches, and bioretention. These green infrastructure practices will provide water quality improvement through infiltration and storage, reducing overflows. In total, the project consists of 22 underground infiltration trenches and 1 rain garden (also known as bioretention). The underground infiltration trenches provide a very high capture volume without an obtrusive footprint at the surface, maximizing cost efficiency. The County and City will simultaneously be offering tree plantings within the neighborhoods.

The project, upon completion, will capture runoff from approximately 9.75 acres of impervious area, reducing stormwater runoff to the combined sewer by approximately 7 million gallons annually. The project areas include:  Charmouth Drive from Robineau Road to Arlington Avenue – 6 underground infiltration trenches; annual stormwater runoff capture: 1,800,000 gallons 

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 Construction of an East Colvin Street Infiltration Trench (August 2017) the 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. 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.

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.

Construction of one of the Underground Detention Basins (June 2017)

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.

Stormwater runoff from the parking areas and building Parking Lot Above Underground Detention Basin roof is conveyed to the underground detention systems for storage, and over time is slowly released to the combined sewer. Any stormwater flows that exceed the designed capture and storage amount overflow back into the existing combined system. In total, 106,620 square feet of impervious area is managed by the green infrastructure installed in this project, equating to approximately 2,006,100 gallons of stormwater runoff capture annually in the high priority CSO 066 area.

AMBIENT MONITORING PROGRAM (AMP)

Onondaga Lake Water Quality Monitoring Program Onondaga Lake Sampling Summary (July - September 2017) July 2017:  Lake Weekly sampling events: July 10, 12 and 24  Lake Biweekly sampling events: July 5 and 18 August 2017:  Lake Weekly sampling events: August 7 and 21  Lake Biweekly sampling events: August 1, 15 and 29 September 2017:  Lake Weekly sampling events: September 7, 18 and 21  Lake Quarterly sampling event: September 12  Lake Biweekly sampling event: September 28

Onondaga Lake Phosphorus (2017 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 during the summer recreational period (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). Figure 1 presents the available 2017 summer data TP concentrations in the upper waters of the lake to-date (June - August) which continues to remain close to the guidance value of 20 µg/L.

Figure 1.

Summer Average TP concentration in the upper waters (0-3 meters) of Onondaga Lake South Deep Station.

Chlorophyll-a The EPA and NYSDEC are developing nutrient criteria for lakes to protect aquatic life, water supply and recreational uses, as well as deriving numerical limits on response variables such as chlorophyll-a. Algal blooms are generally esthetically undesirable and often accompanied by a turbid green appearance in Onondaga Lake. In the absence of state or federal criteria, the AMP has used subjective thresholds of 15 Âľg/L and 30 Âľg/L to represent minor blooms (impaired conditions) and major blooms (noxious conditions), respectively. According to this criteria and biweekly laboratory measurements, there were two minor algal blooms in Onondaga Lake during the 2016 summer recreational period (Figure 2).

Figure 2.

Percent occurrence of summer (June to September) algal blooms in Onondaga Lake evaluated annually for the 1990–2016 period, based on chlorophyll-a measurements taken at South Deep.

Based on the available 2017 laboratory data to-date (from June–September 7), no algal blooms were observed on Onondaga Lake during the summer of 2017 (Figure 3). The infrequent occurrence of algal blooms in Onondaga Lake stands in contrast to the widespread occurrence of blue-green harmful algal blooms in lakes across New York State (see http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/77118.html for more information). Although cyanobacteria have not dominated the phytoplankton assembly in Onondaga Lake in recent years, they are always present in the phytoplankton assemblage. The maintenance of high nitrogen to phosphorus ratios (N:P) in the upper productive layers of Onondaga Lake has been a long-term management strategy to discourage such noxious conditions.

Nitrogen to Phosphorus Ratio Data from a wide range of temperate lakes suggests that a total N to total P ratio (TN:TP) of 29:1 (by mass) differentiates between lakes with cyanobacteria dominance and lakes without such dominance.

The time series of the summer average (June 1–September 30) TN:TP ratio for the upper waters is presented for the 1998–2016 period (Figure 4). Total nitrogen (TN) was calculated as the sum of Total Kjeldahl N (TKN; organic nitrogen plus ammonia), nitrite, and nitrate. The TN:TP ratio has remained above the literature N:P threshold for cyanobacteria dominance for the entire 1998 to 2016 period. The higher values from 2007 to 2016 reflect the effects of systematic decreases in total phosphorus loading from Metro, with mostly unchanging TN concentrations. The common occurrence of dense populations of filamentous cyanobacteria in summer from the late 1980s to early 2000s was likely due to a combination of much lower N:P ratios and higher levels of P. Large cyanobacteria are better competitors when P levels are high both because they can get large enough to be inedible to grazers like Daphnia, and because they can regulate their buoyancy and better compete for light that can be limiting at high nutrient concentrations.

Algal Blooms in NYS lakes Most algae are harmless and are an important part of the food web. Certain types can become abundant and form blooms under the right conditions. Some algae can produce toxins that can be harmful to people and animals (referred to collectively as harmful algal blooms (HABs). Algae blooms most frequently occur in nutrient-rich waters, particularly during hot, calm weather. The relative concentration of nutrients is an important determinant of the composition of the phytoplankton community. The effects of nutrient concentrations on phytoplankton speciation can have water quality management implications, particularly with respect to avoiding proliferation of cyanobacteria (bluegreen algae). Cyanobacteria can cause noxious and potentially toxic conditions when present in high concentrations.

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. As of September 29, 2017, 68 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. The maintenance of high nitrogen to phosphorus ratios (N:P) in the upper productive layers of Onondaga Lake has been a long-term management strategy to discourage such noxious conditions.

Compliance assessed with the applicable NYS Ambient Water Quality Standard (AWQS) for Fecal Coliform bacteria in the surface water as set forth in 6NYCRR Part 703.4 as follows: “The monthly mean geometric mean, from a minimum of five examinations, shall not exceed 200.”

Tributary Water Quality Compliance Status Several segments of Onondaga Lake’s tributary streams are included on the NYSDEC compendium of impaired waters. NYSDEC place waterbodies on this list when there is evidence that water quality conditions do not meet applicable standards, and/or the water bodies do not support their designated uses. The AMP data indicates that the primary exceptions in meeting ambient water quality standards (AWQS) in the tributaries include the parameters Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), fecal coliform bacteria (FC), and dissolved mercury. The abundance of fecal coliform bacteria in the tributaries during wet weather is affected by stormwater runoff and functioning of the combined sewer systems. CSO remedial measures and improved stormwater management measures are underway.

In light of the upcoming final compliance deadline for the Fourth Stipulation of the ACJ of December 31, 2018, the County has begun to plan out the path forward to meet the requirements of the ACJ and to implement additional CSO control and water quality improvement measures after the ACJ. As a followup to the January 25, 2017, Water Quality Compliance Conference convened by Atlantic States Legal Foundation (ASLF), a follow-up meeting was held on July 17, 2017, with the ACJ parties (NYSDEC, ASLF, County) to discuss the process for developing a water quality variance of the water quality based Metro WWTP effluent SPDES permit limits for fecal coliform during wet weather. On September 8, 2017, the ACJ Technical Sub-Committee convened to discuss necessary tasks, data needs and analyses to transition from ACJ to SPDES permit.

BIOLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAM (July – September 2017) Sampling Summary (July)  Completed two larval seine events.

Sampling Summary (August)  Completed lake macroinvertebrate sampling.  Completed first juvenile seine event Sampling Summary (September)  Completed second juvenile seine event  Completed annual adult electrofishing event Fish Communities of Onondaga Lake The improvements in water quality and habitat conditions have altered the fish community of Onondaga Lake. The significant reduction in ammonia-N and phosphorus loading from Metro brought about a shift from eutrophic to mesotrophic conditions, which improved the fish habitat in both the littoral and pelagic zones. Since 2000, the AMP included an extensive fisheries monitoring program that incorporated multiple types of sampling gear to assess nesting, larval, juvenile, and adult stages of several species of the fish community. Over 177,000 individual fish representing fifty-three species have been captured or observed from Onondaga Lake through Onondaga County’s sampling efforts (Table 2).

Species richness and catch per unit effort (CPUE) are metrics commonly used by fisheries biologists to describe the fish community. Species richness is the number of different species represented in an

ecological community and CPUE is the number of a given species captured with a standard measure of sampling effort (e.g., a seine sweep or an hour of electrofishing).

Adult fish are sampled by boat electrofishing in the littoral zone. Some adults, particularly the smaller species (minnows and killifishes) are captured during the littoral juvenile seining as well. In 2016, 1,187 fish representing 25 species were collected during the fall boat electrofishing event: more fish and one more species than encountered in 2015. Alewife comprised 16.5% of the total catch, followed by Largemouth Bass (16.2%), Yellow Perch (13.7%), Brown Bullhead (11.5%), Gizzard Shad (10.0%), and Pumpkinseed (7.2%). Together, these six species comprise 75.1% of the adult fish community (Figure 5).

Overall the adult fish community did not change much between 2015 and 2016. In 2015 the same species dominated the total and together comprised 82.1% of the total catch.

Figure 5.

Relative abundance and catch per unit effort (fish collected per hour of electrofishing) of littoral adult fish in 2016 by species and stratum.

In Onondaga Lake, adult fish species richness (i.e., number of species) collected during electrofishing events gradually increased since 2000. A total of 25 adult species were captured during the electrofishing survey in 2016. This is the third highest value since 2000 and comparable to the 26 species collected during 2013 and 2014 (Figure 6). Minor fluctuations in species richness over the past six years are due primarily to the incidental catches of uncommon species such as Black Bullhead, White Bass, Goldfish, and Quillback and the introduction of invasive species such as Round Goby. Onondaga Lake is part of the Seneca River system, which provides a corridor for fish movement between the lake

and the waterways connected to the Seneca. Species tagged in Onondaga Lake, including Channel Catfish, Pumpkinseed, Bluegill, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, and Walleye, have been recaptured in the Seneca River system. Walleye have been recaptured as far away as Oneida Lake Changes in diversity of the Onondaga Lake fish community are highly influenced by periodic peaks and crashes of two species of clupeid (herring family), Alewife and Gizzard Shad. Abundance of these two species is highly variable because both species periodically exhibit significant winter mortality. Extremes in recruitment are seen as well; both fish periodically produce very strong year classes that dominate the catch for years, as alewife can live to ten years and Gizzard Shad even longer.

The adult electrofishing data were used to calculate Shannon-Weiner diversity (H’), an index that considers richness and relative abundance. This index has fluctuated over the 16-year AMP due primarily to shifts in abundance of clupeids. The highest diversity (H’ = 1.01) was calculated from the 2015 data, and the lowest value (H’ = 0.30) from the 2005 data (Figure 2).

Block Litter program meant to improve water quality in Onondaga Lake

By Ellen Abbott July 6, 2017 Onondaga County has been able to reduce the amount of water that rushes into Onondaga Lake through the Save the Rain Program. The county’s next goal is to get litter out of the lake.

Onondaga County has started a joint initiative with the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency called “Block Litter.” It encourages people to take a pledge to pick up litter in the street, or volunteer to recruit neighbors to help clean up trash.

County Executive Joanie Mahoney says it’s a strategy to help tackle the second phase of a clean up of Onondaga Lake ordered by the Environmental Protection Agency.

"The consent order that we were under for cleaning Onondaga Lake was a quantity -we had to stop the overflows into the lake. We have met those milestones, by and large.

And the next phase is water quality,” Mahoney said. “And when people realize that gum wrappers and litter in the road and that washes into the storm sewers, it’s ending up as trash in Onondaga Lake.”

Mahoney believes once the public realizes the connection between litter and a clean lake, they’ll take part in the program.

“Each of us preventing litter is important, but the cumulative effect of this whole community preventing litter and picking up litter can have a big effect,” she said.

Neighborhoods and individuals can get more information at the Block Litter website.

CNY students to investigate health of Onondaga Lake watershed

July 7, 2017 SYRACUSE, NY -- More than 80 local middle school students will spend next week conducting experiments, monitoring the Onondaga Lake watershed, and learning about the positive impact of the Onondaga Lake cleanup during Honeywell Summer Science Week, which is organized by the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology (MOST). Now in its 12th year, the program runs July 10-14, plus July 19.

In 2006, Honeywell and the MOST partnered to create a summer science experience for middle school students that brings science to life. The program leads students on a weeklong journey from Onondaga Creek's headwaters in Tully through the waterways feeding into Onondaga Lake to the lake itself. Students learn from scientists, engineers, and college professors about the watershed and associated environmental sciences.

"Honeywell Summer Science Week puts our students out in the field every day to conduct hands-on investigations," said MOST Chief Program Officer Peter Plumley, Ph.D. "The program introduces them to scientific methodology and observation of the natural world. Many program graduates go on to successfully compete in the Central New York Science & Engineering Fair and win college scholarships."

So far, more than 700 Central New York students have participated in the program, which aims to encourage and excite students to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. A survey, completed by program participants, shows that students who participate in Honeywell Summer Science Week gain more knowledge and confidence about science and are more interested in pursuing a STEM career.

http://www.syracuse.com/living/index.ssf/2017/07/cny_students_to_investigate_health_of_onondaga_lake _watershed.html

"For the past 12 years, Honeywell Summer Science Week has inspired students through engaging experiments and innovative programing," said Honeywell Syracuse Program Director John McAuliffe. "The students are preparing to become the next generation of scientists and engineers in Central New York. The lessons help students feel more confident in science and math and teach an interdisciplinary approach to resolving complex environmental issues."

"This is an outstanding program that involves students who are about to enter high school, when many will have their first science lab class," said MOST President Toni Martin. "Having this experience conducting science experiments gives them the confidence they need for greater academic achievement."

Students will begin the week aboard the Emita II on Onondaga Lake. On board, Montezuma Audubon Center will lead a birding expedition to teach students about the importance of birds and their habitats. Students from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) will discuss fish in the lake. In the afternoon, students will visit Heiberg Memorial Forest in Tully to learn about surface hydrology in the forest. Students will be introduced to environmental sampling procedures for water quality, plants, and animal life.

As the week progresses, students will collect water, insect, plant, rock, and soil samples.

Students will also learn about the fish in Onondaga Lake, underwater mapping, and the engineering behind the lake bottom cap, which consists primarily of sand, activated carbon, and stone.

Local companies, organizations and individuals participating include: Montezuma Audubon Center, U.S. Geological Survey, OBG, Parsons, Anchor QEA, Onondaga County Department of Water Environment Protection, and faculty and graduate students from Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF. The MOST will host Honeywell Discovery Day on Wednesday, July 19, when students will present research collected during Honeywell Summer Science Week and receive certificates of participation and awards.

Honeywell Summer Science Week is sponsored by Honeywell Hometown Solutions, the company's corporate citizenship initiative.

How picking up trash will improve our waters

July 15, 2017

By Laura Hand 'Block Litter' is a campaign to get more people to pick up trash, because it's about a lot more than keeping the community looking great.

Onondaga County Exec Joanie Mahoney, on Weekend Today in Central New York on Saturday morning, said the campaign is co-sponsored by the county's Save The Rain initiatve and the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency, and is aimed at improving water quality. She point out that 98% of trash that makes its way to local waterways is street-born litter, so picking it up before it gets into the storm/sewer system will help improve Onondaga Lake and other nearby waterways.

The campaign asks residents to take a pledge (at www.blocklitter.com) to clean up trash, and then post pictures at #BlockLitter to encourage others.

LakeFest participants speak on future of Onondaga Lake

July 22, 2017 By: Sydney Chalifoux Liverpool, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) - This weekend the shores of Onondaga Lake are filled with food trucks, live music, and docked boats as part of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LakeFest.

Though it's set up like one, the Onondaga Cup is not quite a professional regatta. "It's a big corporate challenge so a bunch of companies in Syracuse have practiced for 7 weeks and today is a culmination of that practice," says participant Jordan Mueller.

It's a competition, but it's fun and it's part of the festival lining Onondaga Lake Park this weekend. "Being able to do events here and things like this, the Onondaga Cup, where we can do challenges and competitions on a big lake like this. Just bringing the whole community together to be able to participate, watch, and just see what's going on," adds Emma Kohler, another participant.

On the surface, the weekend is all about fun and Lakefest, but it's really about more than that. It's about finally being able to use Onondaga Lake, and what that means for the future of Syracuse and the surrounding area.

"I think it's an amazing thing to be able to use the lake again as an asset. It's been sitting here for a while and underutilized," says Mueller. "So, being able to really showcase it and all the hard work all the companies in Syracuse have done to really clean it up and make it a place that people can go out and row on it or kayak or paddleboard or jetski. It's really big."

http://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/lakefest-participants-speak-on-future-of-onondagalake/772239887

That's especially true when we reflect on how far we've come, "It would just smell really bad and just be very gross and you were terrified to touch the water or get splashed," explains Kohler. "So, seeing the progress that we've made and that we have a mermaid out here swimming in the lake and she's not terrified because we've fixed it is just really wonderful to see."

From The Legislature: Block Litter

By Onondaga County Legislator Mike Plochocki August 1, 2017

With the second Annual Onondaga Lakefest this month, the continuing Onondaga Lake clean-up – and having cleaner waterways in general – is on the minds of many.

Capitalizing on the success of the ‘Save the Rain’ program, it is essential that we take the next steps necessary to ensure Onondaga Lake (and every waterway) continues to improve. ‘Save the Rain’ is a campaign in our community that is focused on the goal, that it is of the utmost importance, that we do not waste valuable taxpayer or ratepayer dollars unnecessarily treating clean water. As part of this program, rain barrels and green infrastructure, like porous pavement and rain gardens, constructed throughout the county are reducing stormwater runoff. However, the aged infrastructure that spans most of the county is problematic in moving us toward completely removing extraneous flow. While the County continues to find funding to remove excess clean water and repair old infrastructure, a new community outreach program is necessary to continue toward an Onondaga County with clean waterways.

The Department of Water Environment Protection (WEP) is tasked with “protecting and improving the water environment of Onondaga County in a cost-effective manner ensuing the health and sustainability of our community and economy”. Last year, WEP reminded residents that litter, rain, Onondaga Lake, and our entire water system are all connected with their ‘Connect the Drops’ initiative. We are all in this together, whether you live in Baldwinsville, Manlius, Syracuse or Skaneateles. Several tributaries feed in to or out of Onondaga Lake. The litter that finds its way to these tributaries not only pollutes the tributaries, but often ends up in Onondaga Lake. Whether it is in our sources of drinking water that will require additional treatment or along our roadsides where the trash is visible, it is important to take litter seriously.

A new campaign is taking shape to fully encourage all residents to do their part. ‘Block Litter’, announced earlier this year in conjunction with the Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency (OCRRA) is encouraging the community to literally block the litter from entering our system and degrading our waterways. This campaign is one of the most localized, grass roots efforts yet to reduce the litter in our neighborhoods. Simply put, pledge to pick up the litter on your street. If everyone did this, the results would be remarkable! For more information, check out the website blocklitter.com. On this page you can ‘pledge’ to pick up the litter on your street and receive a free kit to assist you in this effort. Of course, involving the young people in your life with this effort is perhaps most important of all!

Mike Plochocki represents the 6th district which includes the Towns of Skaneateles, Spafford, Otisco, Marcellus and portions of the Town of Camillus. Mike welcomes constituent feedback; he can be reached by email at mikeplochocki@hotmail.com or by phone at 315-263-3172.

New York gets $186M for wastewater, drinking water improvements August 17, 2017 NEW YORK, NY, AUG 17, 2017 -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it has awarded nearly $186 million to New York State to help finance water infrastructure projects that are essential to protecting public health and the environment. The funds will primarily be used to upgrade wastewater and drinking water systems throughout the state.

In 2017, EPA awarded $146,343,000 to the New York Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), administrated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and its financing program, the Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYSEFC). This award plus a 20% state match and repayments from prior CWSRF loans, combined with interest earnings and bond issuances, will enable the financing of up to $830 million of clean water infrastructure projects in New York.

Also in 2017, EPA awarded $39,559,000 to the New York Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF), administrated by NYDOH and its financing program, the NYSEFC. This award, plus a 20% state match and repayments from prior DWSRF loans, combined with interest earnings and bond issuances, will enable the financing of up to $350 million of drinking water projects in New York.

"Providing funds directly to New York emphasizes the importance of partnering with states to help address their unique and critical environmental challenges," said EPA Administrator Pruitt.

"President Trump has made updating our nation's infrastructure a priority, and this grant demonstrates EPA's commitment to carrying out improvements. These types of investments help empower states to protect their natural resources, and grow their economy while solving real environmental problems in local communities."

The Clean Water State Revolving Fund program provides low-interest loans and principal forgiveness for the construction of water quality protection infrastructure projects to make improvements to wastewater treatment systems and control pollution from stormwater runoff, which will protect New York's lakes, rivers and the Atlantic Ocean.

Examples of the types of projects on the State's CWSRF Intended Use Plan are: â&#x20AC;˘$20,200,000 to Onondaga County for planning, design and construction to upgrade the Syracuse-Metro sewage treatment plant to provide better disinfection treatment to improve the water quality of Onondaga Lake; â&#x20AC;˘$12,934,000 to the Town of Poughkeepsie for planning, design and construction for upgrades and expansion of the Arlington sewage treatment plant to improve water quality in the Hudson River;

http://www.waterworld.com/articles/2017/08/new-york-gets-186m-for-wastewater-drinking-waterimprovements.html

•$56,472,804 to Suffolk County to construct a new ocean outfall at the Bergen Point wastewater treatment plant to a barrier island. This will provide resiliency and mitigate damage from future storm events and will improve water quality in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program provides low-interest loans and principal forgiveness for the construction of infrastructure projects and for the administration of small system technical assistance, source water protection, capacity development, and operator certification. These projects and practices of the DWSRF program will protect people's health by reducing exposure to contaminants in drinking water.

Examples of the types of projects on the State's DWSRF Intended Use Plan are: •$7,200,000 to the City of Rochester to place a cover over the Highland Reservoir and upgrade its water storage; •$1,400,000 to the Ossining Water Department (Westchester County) to upgrade its water treatment plant; •$1,394,550 to Altamont Village (Albany County) for new wells, disinfection and a transmission main.

Since 1989, the EPA has awarded $6.2 billion to New York State through these programs, which, along with the other program funds, has enabled New York State to finance $20 billion in projects.

Families enjoy first "fishing day" at the NYS Fair

August 27, 2017 By: Sydney Chalifoux Geddes, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) - Keith Sutcliff and his grandson, Aiden, couldn't decide how to spend their Sunday.

"We gave them the option of coming to the fair or going fishing. If it worked out perfectly we might go to the fair this morning and go fishing this afternoon," Keith thought.

That was before they realized they could do both- in the same place.

Families lined the shoreline of the "Experience New York" pond on the fairgrounds for the first fishing day at the fair.

"We had no idea there was going to be fishing, but my daughter loves to fish and we don't get to do it enough back home. So, we're doing a little fishing today," says dad Michael Semb.

His daughter, Sierra, adding, "I just like to see this fish and see all the different kinds of fish and I love learning how to do it."

It may seem strange, a big pond right on the fairgrounds, but the DEC stocked it with fish from Onondaga Lake.

"He teaches me how to cast and how to follow the line, keep your line down, how to reel in, and how to lock the line," says Aiden Mead, Keith's grandson.

http://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/families-enjoy-first-fishing-day-at-the-nysfair/799687428

When asked how this was a good bonding experience Keith added, "That's what he says. 'It's not about the fishing. It's about spending time with you grandpa,' and that's the ultimate."

Sunday was the only day to fish at the fair pond, but "fishing day" will likely return next year.

It's smooth sailing on Onondaga Lake

By Ed Griffin-Nolan September 4, 2017 My friend Phil, who grew up in Syracuse in the '70s and now lives in Virginia, called one afternoon earlier this summer and asked what I was doing in the morning. My response surprised him. "Daybreak sail." When I added that we were going out on Onondaga Lake, Phil, like anyone who grew up here in that era, was a bit wary.

The next day, two cups of coffee in tow, we raised a sail on my 18-foot schooner and slipped out of the marina at Onondaga Lake Park. For the next three hours, as traffic filled the Parkway, and planes lifted noiselessly from Hancock Airport, we watched the city of Syracuse come to light from a distinct vantage point - the middle of the lake she borders. It was a revelation. Ten minutes from downtown, we let the wind take us from the Seneca River outlet to the Inner Harbor, from Liverpool to the new amphitheater, enjoying the Lake as if it were our very own (which, save for a few fishermen in powerboats, it pretty much was).

Syracuse, it is easy to forget, is a city on a lake. Travel to Chicago and you are always aware of Lake Michigan. Closer by, Oswego is a city that embraces Lake Ontario. But Syracusans don't think of ourselves as people who live on the water. With good reason -- a century of dumping both sewage and industrial chemicals in Onondaga Lake left it by the mid-seventies a stagnant, reeking body of water that no one cared to navigate.

Today everything about that lake - the smell, the look, the feel, and the access to it, has changed. The only thing that remains stagnant is our awareness.

Dr. Cornelius Murphy, as he prepared to retire as President of SUNY-ESF a few years back, reminisced about doing research on the lake in the late '60s when only five hardy species of fish http://www.syracuse.com/opinion/index.ssf/2017/09/its_smooth_sailing_on_onondaga_lake_commentary. html

swam in those nasty waters. Then the Atlantic States Legal Foundation sued Onondaga County to force a change in how we process our human waste. Honeywell Corporation was forced to begin a flawed but significant cleanup of the PCBs, mercury, and other toxins that the industrial era left buried in the lakebed.

By 2013, observed Dr. Murphy, there were as many as 75 species in the lake, a number comparable to Oneida Lake. They're not edible yet, and the water is not ready is quite ready for swimming, but for sailing, kayaking, or canoeing - it's a delight. (You can put a kayak or canoe in the water for free - it's $10 to use the boat launch.)

There is plenty to argue about regarding the lake cleanup. My environmentalist friends contend that the capping does not go far enough to remove the deadly toxins. Others grouse that the money spent on the cleanup could best have been spent on renovating our urban neighborhoods.

But 70 species of fish can't be wrong. The lake is changing, and it's time that we change our attitude toward it. Most Syracuse residents have never been on the lake. The students who call our city home for three seasons a year think that we are a city built on a mall. Few realize that the mall is built on a lake.

This is in part what happens when you design a city to serve the automobile. Interstate 690, which cuts south of the lake, divides us visually from our primary water resource. Just as Interstate 81 divides us from one another, 690 divides us from our history and from the spiritual renewal that comes from contact with water.

Try Onondaga Lake. I promise you this - once you have seen Syracuse from the middle of that water, you can never see your city the same way again.

ART

By Carl Mellor

FOUR ARTISTS HEED NATURE’S CALL Edgewood Gallery‘s current exhibit Nature Observed demonstrates how four artists working in different media portray nature, wildlife in particular, and human encounters with the natural world. The show is primarily but not exclusively realistic. Its strength is diverse media and the affection the artists have for their subjects.

Bob Ripley’s watercolor, “Survivors,” depicts a scene near St. Regis in the Adirondacks, focusing on several elements: a tall tree on water, clouds, an eagle, a man in a canoe. A second work, also on water, captures a fisherman casting what looks like a very, very long line.

Those pieces make up one aspect of Ripley’s work but don’t constitute a prototype. “No Fly Zone Purple Martins” builds its appeal on birds in the air, on a mix of moonlight, shadows and blue

water. “High Water Mark,” also set in the Adirondacks, documents a scene in a river stream, emphasizing small creatures and vegetation just below the surface.

And “On the South Branch” returns to water and fishing but also depicts a bridge located near Grafton, Vt. Alan Hart, who creates photorealistic acrylics, portrays various creatures, including a red-tailed hawk whose wings loom large, and a nicely detailed common loon gliding just above water. One artwork portraying a pleated woodpecker draws the viewer’s eye not only to the bird’s boring into the tree but also to ridges in the tree’s surface.

Elsewhere, the artist moves in a surrealistic direction with “African Epiphany” and in a different vein with “Linear Pushback,” which positions an antelope standing completely apart from a herd of bison. There’s no sense that the antelope is in the same physical space as the herd.

“Mandarin and Lotus” documents Hart’s use of colors and shadows.

He deals with species survival in “Extinct,” portraying the passenger pigeon, a bird no longer found on our planet, and pieces focusing on two types of snails from Hawaii that are listed as endangered.

Hart depicts the snails in fine detail, suggesting that nature encompasses both beautiful birds and very small creatures.

Steve Fland, a self-taught sculptor,

features several of his painted-wood sculptures. They depict a cattle egret, an American woodcock, a yellow crowned parrot seen in brilliant colors, and the three bob white quail birds sitting on a branch in “Late Riser.” Fland’s works amply document the artist’s commitment to making each sculpture as realistic as possible and to providing some sense of the bird’s habitat. Beyond that, the pieces are visually compelling, encouraging extended viewing.

Judi Witkin has worked with beaded jewelry for a long time, creating necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other pieces.

Her works at Edgewood reflect her ability to create distinctive designs full of striking color. Look for her pieces with a butterfly pattern.

Nature Observed samples artworks by a quartet, lets their different approaches stand as is, influences viewers to consider both that diversity and an expansive common subject, the realm of nature. It’s an interesting show on several levels.

The exhibition is on display through Sept. 22 at Edgewood Gallery, 216 Tecumseh Road. The venue is open Tuesdays through Fridays, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, consult edgewoodartandframe.com. SNT SNT
