GRAY PROJECTS UPDATE

Gray Projects Update

Clinton CSO Storage Facility Project (Construction Phase) In August, the contractor continued construction activities associated with the storage facility that will collect 6 million gallons of combined sewage from 8 downtown Syracuse CSOs during wet weather events. The contractor began backfilling of the 84” conveyance installation and continued work on the tunnel/box culvert up to Station 8+50. Jet grouting operations below the tunnel/box culvert are now completed, and the grouting plant has been demobilized. The tunnel/box culvert work included support of excavation installation, excavation, pouring of transition walls, and cast-in-basin mud mat and invert slab installation.

CSO 022/045 Sewer Separation Project (Construction Phase) Final sidewalk and pavement restoration began in CSO Area 022 in August. In addition, the contractor has begun installation of the new enhanced tree pits along with work on Pocket Park at North Clinton and West Genesee.

The plumbing contractor, Joy Process Mechanical (JPM), completed the majority of the interior and exterior plumbing modifications. Once complete, the discharge of combined sewage from CSOs 022 and 045 will be eliminated and all sanitary sewage will be transmitted to Metro via the Main Interceptor Sewer (MIS).

Harbor Brook Interceptor Sewer (HBIS) Replacement and CSO Abatement Project (Construction Phase) In August, work continued on the Delaware/Grand Rain Garden and Bio-retention Area and this segment of the project is approximately 90 percent complete. To date the project has installed 7,503 linear feet (LF) of new 18” to 36” interceptor sewer between Velasko Road and West Fayette Street on the west side of Syracuse, and 5,222 LF of new local sewers ranging in size from 8” to 42” in diameter. The sewer installation is 100 percent completed, and the project overall is approximately 99 percent complete. The new project completion date is November 2012 to allow for the installation of additional green infrastructure under the GPR grant.

Lower Harbor Brook CSO Conveyance Project (Construction Phase) The contractor continued work in August on the conveyance sewers from CSO 003 and 004 that will transmit combined sewage during wet weather events to the new storage tank. The installation and backfill of the pipe and manholes from CSO 003 was completed up to station 5+61 as well as a 13-foot section of 21-inch diameter pipe on State Fair Blvd. The contractor also installed temporary water services on State Fair Blvd. and installed the relocated water main.

Lower Harbor Brook CSO Storage Facility Project (Construction Phase) In August, the tie-in pipes for the valve vault and meter vault were backfilled and the excavation support for the 24-inch and 84-inch sewer trenches near the grit chamber was installed. In addition, drilling and grouting activities associated with the storage tank installation continued. The storage facility will store combined sewage from the three CSOs (003, 004 & 063) during storm events.

Midland CSO 044 Abatement Project (Construction Phase) Construction began in August on the rain garden and green infrastructure that will be installed above the 96inch conveyance sewer along West Castle Street between South Avenue and Midland Avenue. In addition, the instrumentation installation was completed, and preparations were made for owner training on the maintenance and use of the flushing systems installed. The new 96-inch pipeline will transmit combined sewage from CSO 044 in South Avenue to the Midland RTF during wet weather overflow events.

Project Description: The Clinton CSO Storage Facility Project is a 6 million gallon combined sewer overflow storage facility that will be constructed in the parking area between the elevated rail tracks and Onondaga Creek just south of the Armory Square area of downtown Syracuse (formerly known as the Trolley Lot). During wet weather events, the facility’s three, parallel 18-foot diameter, underground storage tunnels will capture flow from 8 combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in the vicinity of the former Trolley Lot. The wastewater will be stored in the tunnels until it can be conveyed via the main interceptor sewer to the Syracuse Metropolitan Sewage Treatment Plant (Metro) for treatment. The off-site conveyance piping, which will transmit the flow to the facility, was installed under the Clinton CSO Phase 1 and 2A conveyances projects completed in 2009. There will be additional on-site conveyance piping installed under this project to connect the existing sewers to the new facility. In addition to the tunnels there will be two above ground structures located at either end (east and west) of the parking lot which provide access to the tunnels and house the pumping, grit collection and odor control facilities Green Components: To further enhance the sustainability of the facility, the project includes green infrastructure components. The stormwater runoff from the entire site that measures approximately 275,000 square feet or 6.3 acres will be managed by green infrastructure. The stormwater from the area surrounding the main structure on the western half of the site will be collected by a series of catch basins and stormwater piping that will outfall into two bioretention basins. The bioretention basins will allow the stormwater to infiltrate into the ground rather than immediately runoff to the creek. In addition, stormwater runoff from the eastern half of the project site, to be restored as a parking area, will be directed to a subsurface collection facility and used to flush the storage tunnels to clear them of grit and debris that may have settled or been left behind after the stored combined sewage was transmitted to Metro. In addition, a green roof will be installed on the west building.

Construction Update: In August, the contractor continued construction activities associated with the storage facility that will collect 6 million gallons of combined sewage from 8 downtown Syracuse CSOs during wet weather events. The contractor began backfilling of the 84� conveyance installation and continued work on the tunnel/box culvert up to Station 8+50.Jet grouting operations below the tunnel/box culvert are now completed and the grouting plant has been demobilized.

CSO 022/045 Sewer Separation Onondaga County Syracuse Clinton/Lower MIS & Midland Sewer Separation 1,000,000 gal/yr 2 12/31/12 General - $4,581,888 Plumbing - $1,031,235 November 29, 2011 General – J. J. Lane Plumbing – Joy Process Mechanical

Project Description: In 2000, the separations of 13 separate CSO basins were designed to the 95 percent stage. The CSO areas represented basins whose full separation would be cost effective compared to other CSO abatement technologies. The remaining basins where the full separation has not been constructed were CSO areas 022 and 045. CSO area 022 is located in downtown Syracuse and the tributary sewers are located in North Franklin, West Genesee, and Willow streets. The proposed work to be performed includes 2,000 linear feet (LF) of new sanitary sewer; 800 LF of sewer lining; and twenty (20) internal building separations. CSO Area 045 is located south of downtown Syracuse with the outfall at the intersection of West Castle Street, Hudson Street, and Onondaga Creek. The combined sewage tributary to this outfall is conveyed by combined sewers located in Crescent and Hudson streets. The proposed work to be performed includes: 700 LF of new storm sewer in Hudson and Crescent streets, 1200 LF of sewer lining to convert the existing combined sewers in Crescent and Hudson streets to sanitary sewers, rehabilitation of the existing sanitary sewer in Rich Street between Hudson and Onondaga Creek, and one (1) private property separation.

Green Components: The County has successfully applied its “Greening the Gray” mission to the project through the implementation of Green Infrastructure as it related to the reconstruction of the Pocket Park on the corner of West Genesee and North Clinton Streets. The park had fallen into disrepair due to settlement issues and will be rehabilitated with green components under the CSO 022 project.

Project Update: Final sidewalk and pavement restoration began in CSO Area 022 in August. In addition, the contractor has begun installation of the new enhanced tree pits along with work on the Pocket Park at North Clinton and West Genesee. The plumbing contractor, Joy Process Mechanical (JPM), completed the majority of the interior and exterior plumbing modifications.Once complete, the discharge of combined sewage from CSOs 022 and 045 will be eliminated and all sanitary sewage will be transmitted to Metro via the Main Interceptor Sewer (MIS).

HBIS Replacement & CSO Abatement Onondaga County Harbor Brook Corridor Fayette St. to Velasko Rd. Harbor Brook Interceptor Replacement 36,000,000 gal/yr 9 6/30/2012 $21,536,849 11/2/09 J.J. Lane Construction

Project Description: The HBIS Replacement Project provides for a much needed upgrade to the existing Harbor Brook Interceptor between West Fayette Street and Velasko Road on the west side of Syracuse.

This length of the interceptor sewer conveys dry weather flow and a portion of the combined flow from CSOs 009, 010, 011, 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, and 018 for conveyance to Metro for treatment. The existing interceptor is a U-shaped cast-in-place concrete pipe constructed in the 1920s and has fallen into disrepair. Due to the shape and age of the HBIS, flow restrictions have developed which have decreased capacity and increased infiltration in some areas. The project includes the installation of 7,600 linear feet (LF) of new HBIS ranging in size from 18- to 36-inches in diameter, 1,500 LF of new local sewers, rehabilitation of 860 LF of 30-inch brick sewer, installation of 4 new regulator manholes, and rehabilitation or replacement of 2500 LF of Harbor Brook Culvert. In addition, during construction the available funding allowed CSO Areas 013 and 016 to be completely separated which will increase CSO capture and eliminate two CSO discharge points. As a result, the capture projection for this project is anticipated to be 0.9 percent or 36 million gallons.

Green Components: In addition the County has successfully applied its “Greening the Gray” mission to the HBIS Replacement Project. The GI components incorporated into this gray construction project include the installation of approximately 40 enhanced tree basins with infiltration zones and the construction of a bioretention area that will manage stormwater runoff from an area of approximately 3.2 acres. The enhanced tree basins will be located on Hartson, Herriman and Hoeffler Streets in the Skunk City area of Syracuse. The bioretention area will be located at the corner of Grand Avenue and Delaware Street and will contain a series of rain gardens and bioretention swales which will collect offsite runoff from impervious areas and manage the on-site stormwater as well. The site will have a “parklike” setting with an educational theme.

Construction Update: In August, work continued on the Delaware/Grand Rain Garden and Bioretention Area and this segment of the project is approximately 90% complete. To date the project has installed 7,503 linear feet (LF) of new 18” to 36” interceptor sewer between Velasko Road and West Fayette Street on the west side of Syracuse, and 5,222 LF of new local sewers, ranging in size from 8” to 42” in diameter. The sewer installation is 100% completed and the project overall is approximately 99% complete. The new project completion date is November 2012 to allow for the installation of additional Green Infrastructure under the GPR grant.

Project Description: The Lower Harbor Brook CSO Conveyances and Storage Facility Project is a 4.9 million gallon combined sewer overflow storage facility that will be located on County owned property on State Fair Boulevard between Hiawatha Blvd. and West Genesee Street in the City of Syracuse. The facility will capture and store the overflows from CSOs 003, 004 and 063 for up to the 1-year, 2-hour design storm event. After the storm event subsides, the contents of the storage tank will be pumped to the existing Harbor Brook Interceptor Sewer for conveyance to the Metropolitan Treatment Plant (Metro) for full treatment. The project also includes construction of CSO conveyance pipelines on State Fair Blvd., Hiawatha Blvd., and Erie Blvd. to convey combined sewage from the overflow regulators to the storage tanks during rainfall and snowmelt events. Floatables and grit removal will be included in this facility. Odor control provisions will be incorporated into the facility design and the tank will be completely enclosed.

Green Components: To further enhance the sustainability of the facility, the project includes green infrastructure components. The stormwater runoff from the rooftops of the storage tank and controls building will be stored within the CSO storage tank and used for a second and third cleaning flush of the tank. This water will ultimately be treated at Metro eliminating the need for this stormwater to be treated on-site. The stormwater storage is designed to capture the 100year storm (5.2 inches) from the tank and the control building rooftop.

GREEN PROJECTS UPDATE

Green Projects Update

The month of August continued exciting activity for the green program. Several projects were completed with additional projects under construction.

Progress continues on the implementation of green infrastructure within the Connective Corridor.

The first section of the project, which extends from Syracuse University along University Ave. from Waverly Ave. to E. Genesee Street, was completed earlier this year. A green renovation of Forman Park, the second Save the Rain project with Connective Corridor, was also completed earlier this year. Currently, construction is taking place on the third Save the Rain/Connective Corridor project – a green street application extending along E. Genesee from University Ave to Forman Park. The green street application along both sides of the street will consist of porous pavement, tree plantings, infiltration trenches and bioretention areas.

Renovations have been completed at the Seymour Academy. The parking lot of the academy was replaced with porous pavement and work on the playground consisted of pavement removal and installation of a rain garden.

Work has also begun on renovations at City Lot # 4. The lot, located next to the I-81 ramp on N. State Street includes the removal of existing asphalt, installation of porous asphalt, tree trenches, and an infiltration bed to capture stormwater.

Work continues on various projects with the City of Syracuse Parks Department. Restoration efforts at Leavenworth Barker Park have begun this month. The project will consist of renovations to the basketball courts in collaboration with the Courts-4-Kids Program through the Jim & Juli Boeheim Foundation. The basketball courts will be redone in porous asphalt with vegetated swales constructed throughout the park along with a rain garden application on site.

This project is part of a larger redevelopment of the Townsend Towers, to become residential housing for students at SUNY Upstate.

The reconstruction efforts for the parking lot behind the residential towers include renovating the median in the parking lot to include green infrastructure in the form of a vegetated swale. The existing median was completely removed, and a new green median was installed complete with bioretention plantings and trees. In total, the vegetated swale will capture approximately 690,000 gallons of stormwater annually.

Project Description: The Tree Pit Pilot Project highlights the growing partnership between the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County through the Save the Rain Program. Onondaga County has partnered with the City to construct a pilot project to test performance and aesthetics of different types of porous resin-bound aggregates around downtown tree pits.

The project consists of installing 8 tree pits within the 100 block of Walton Street. This project features 4 different porous resin-bound aggregate surfaces in the 8 tree pits. They will be designed to capture runoff from the sidewalk on the southern side of the street.

The existing established trees will remain in place and the tree pits will be constructed cautiously in order not to disturb the tree roots or bark. The amount of annual stormwater capture for the project is approximately 38,000 gallons. The performance of each of the resin-bound aggregates will be monitored over time with the intention of creating a standard for downtown Syracuse in the future.

Stormwater is captured from Conservation Place, S. Wilbur Avenue and Coleridge Avenue as part of this project. The three rain gardens are all connected hydraulically, allowing overflows from each rain garden to be connected to the other rain gardens and before it reaches the combined sewer system.

The rain gardens are planted with various types of plant species that will beautify the zoo entrance area, promoting further pedestrian traffic in this area. At the same time these plants will allow captured rainwater to be infiltrated and evaporated, preventing it from entering the combined sewer system. A unique aspect of this project is that existing infrastructure (i.e. catch basins) is being utilized for capturing rainwater. This reduces the amount of land that is disturbed and at the same time allows the project to be more cost efficient.

Onondaga Lake Juvenile Fish Since 2000, Onondaga County has routinely sampled juvenile fish from Onondaga Lake as part of the AMP. During that time 24 species of juvenile fish have been collected. The AMP employs several methods to assess fish reproduction, including nesting surveys, sampling of larval fish, and sampling of young of year fish. Evaluation of the young fish provides information on the overall health of the fish community within the lake and success of reproduction from year to year. Factors including water quality, water temperature during and after spawning, water levels, and trophic dynamics, can affect reproductive success of fish.

Saving Money by Saving Rain

By Meghan Walsh on August 23, 2012

Photograph by Natalie Macquire/Getty Images

In late May, visitors to the Beauchamp Branch Library in Syracuse, N.Y., had a chance to walk away with more than a good book. Plastic rain barrels, which retail for about $100, were available free for those who attended a water conservation workshop, courtesy of Onondaga County’s Save the Rain program, which has distributed about 750 of the 55-gallon containers since 2011. The response to the workshops “has been overwhelmingly positive,” says Amy Samuels, the education and outreach coordinator for Onondaga Environmental Institute, who helps organize the giveaways.

It’s not that the Upstate New York county is parched. The problem is that heavy rainfalls regularly overwhelm its aging sewer system, sending polluted overflow into nearby Onondaga Lake. Environmentalists joined forces with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and filed a lawsuit in the late 1980s to force the county to take mitigating steps.

Faced with a court order, local officials responded with a plan that called for four new sewage treatment plants, at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to taxpayers. The first of the plants http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-08-23/saving-money-by-saving-rain

Village of Manlius begins handing out rain barrels thanks to Save the Rain grant

By Ned Campbell

As of Friday, August 24, 2012 - 2:43 p.m.

Manlius — The village of Manlius is making use of the $3,000 in Onondaga County Save the Rain grant funds it was awarded in May. The village was selected for its Rain Barrel Pilot Project, through which it is now distributing 25 50-gallon rain barrels on a first come, first serve basis.

The village of Manlius was one of 12 suburban communities selected to receive a portion of the $3 million in green infrastructure projects included in the expansion of the county's Save the Rain program, which was approved by the legislature last year. The projects are meant to help resolve inflow and infiltration problems in the suburbs.

Village residents interested in obtaining a rain barrel should call the Parks & Recreation Department at 682-7887.

was built in a low-income, predominantly black neighborhood. Completed in 2007, it drew protests from local residents.

Following elections in 2008, Onondaga’s new leadership began searching for a fresh approach.

After a year of consultation with local activists, Save the Rain was born as a lower-cost way to avoid big-ticket infrastructure investment.

The initiative covers more than 80 projects stretching to 2018, at a cost of $78 million, to be covered by sewage fees along with a mix of state loans and grants. Still, local authorities estimate that eliminating the need for new water treatment plants will save taxpayers as much as $20 million.

Work on some of the projects has already wrapped up. Parking lots have been resurfaced with porous pavement, a permeable surface with a stone reservoir underneath that releases water into the subsoil. A 1.5-acre green roof capable of absorbing 1 million gallons of rain annually has been laid atop a Syracuse convention center. The most ambitious project to date is a system that collects runoff from the roof of the city’s minor league hockey arena. Up to 15,000 gallons of water is stored in tanks underground and used to make ice. Three-quarters of the $1 million price tag was covered by state grants, with the balance paid by the county.

Onondaga is now halfway toward its federally mandated target of capturing 250 million gallons of storm water per year by 2018. For County Executive Joanne Mahoney, a key to the success of the effort is the involvement of the local community. She recalls that one rain barrel giveaway drew a line of 100 people. Mahoney: “This is an inspiring example of when a neighborhood advocacy group was actually successful in getting the government to change its policy.”

Rain, rain go this way: Rain gardens catch runoff and pollutants Published: Saturday, August 25, 2012, 6:00 AM

By Gloria Wright, The Post-Standard When it rains, it pours -- off the roof, the driveway and the street.

The rain carries with it motor oil from driveways and roads, herbicides and pesticides spread on lawns and other yucky things, like pet waste and whatever was in the garbage can that spilled near the curb.

It deposits that polluted water into rivers, streams and lakes.

Rain gardens act as a sponge, soaking up the runoff. They are making a splash across the county. Through Onondaga County's Save the Rain initiative, about 85 rain gardens have been installed in public spaces -- along the Creekwalk, in parks, outside libraries, schools, the Erie Canal Museum and in Pass Arboretum.

The two rain gardens along Avery Avenue in the arboretum keep an estimated 750,000 gallons of water a year out of the storm sewer system and ultimately Onondaga Lake, said the garden's designer, Zach Monge, of CH2M Hill Cos., an environmental engineering firm hired as consultants by the city of Syracuse and the county.

The rain water and snow melt from Avery, Bryant and Tennyson avenues on Tipp Hill are rerouted into the arboretum's rain gardens.

"We pick plants that will filter out oils, phosphorous, nitrogen, any kind of nutrient before it ends up in Onondaga Lake or the sewage treatment plant," Monge said.

The gardens at the arboretum are big -- the larger one is 93,000 square feet, the smaller is 25,000 square feet -- and contain about 20,000 plants, he said.

But his rain garden at home is only a few square feet and captures water from the gutter downspout.

The size of a rain garden is less important than its purpose. Rain gardens have a bowl-shape design to retain storm water for a few hours, helping rainwater percolate back into the underground aquifer. It's a natural way to help

http://blog.syracuse.com/cny/2012/08/rain_rain_go_this_way_rain_gardens_catch_runoff_and_pollutants.html

reduce pollution.

"Green is the new way," Monge said.

A GUIDE TO BUILDING A RAIN GARDEN WHERE? Most importantly, a rain garden should be at least 10 feet from your house or you neighbor's house so the water doesn't back up into your basement or damage the foundation. Don't build it over your septic system.

Put it where it can collect any type of run-off, from roofs, driveways, storage sheds or any impervious surface.

"The goal is to plant where you're going to get good drainage, where the space can receive water from somewhere else. If the ground is already wet, the water does not infiltrate quickly, said Khris Dodson, public education and outreach coordinator for Save the Rain.

Look for a natural low spot on your lawn, Monge said. "If you don't have a low spot, you need to create one."

WHAT SHAPE? A rain garden is a depressed space, but the shape -- kidney, round, oval, teardrop -- is up to you. The garden should be about twice as long as it is wide, and placed perpendicular to the slope and the downspout. That way it will catch as much water as possible.

HOW BIG? Measure the area you're draining, Dodson said. Multiply the length of the outside of your house times the width. That's the area your downspout serves, although it's a rough calculation because it doesn't include the slope of the roof.

"We usually say a 1 to 10 ratio. For every 10 feet you drain, you need 1 foot of rain garden," he said.

If you're draining 1,000 square feet, you need 100 square feet of rain garden.

Find out what kind of soil you have. Sandy and silty soil drain more quickly. Clay doesn't drain.

"In the city, there's a lot of clay and gravel. If that gravel is locked up in hard, dense clay, there's little drainage there and the soil needs to be amended with compost," he said.

To test your drainage, dig a small hole about 6 inches deep, fill it with water from the hose and see how long it takes to drain.

It should drain in 24 hours. If it doesn't, find another space or add more compost.

http://blog.syracuse.com/cny/2012/08/rain_rain_go_this_way_rain_gardens_catch_runoff_and_pollutants.html

HOW DEEP? For most residential rain gardens, Dodson recommends digging 12 inches down and adding 6 inches of gravel.

"It's really hard work digging it out," he said. "Sometimes we recommend getting a group of friends together, or it's great if have you have access to a small backhoe," he said.

The deeper the garden, the smaller it can be.

Because the sides of a rain garden slope, use some of the dirt you've dug up to make a berm around three sides of the garden so it doesn't overflow.

Add compost to increase drainage.

WHAT PLANTS? Rain gardens use native plants, which are easier to maintain and require less, if any, chemical treatments like fertilizer or pesticide.

Save the Rain program has 80 projects under way Published: Monday, August 27, 2012, 3:00 AM

By Readers' Page To the Editor: On Aug. 17, you printed a letter from Vincenza Terrinoni's questioning why Onondaga County permits sewage over flows into Onondaga Lake and its tributaries. It is an issue the county and more than 400 communities are working to address.

At the turn of the 19th century, communities began to install ''modern'' sewage collection systems. More than 50 percent of the city of Syracuse's sewer system was constructed prior to 1930. At that time, engineers designed sewers that conveyed sewage and storm water from streets and homes in a combined system. This was more cost-effective than building a separate system for storm water. This decision left future generations with an environmental challenge we are working to address via the county's Save the Rain program.

When heavy rains affect the city's combined sewer system, it is designed to overflow, ensuring that the sewage and storm water do not back up into homes and businesses. Save the Rain is a comprehensive program that limits sewer overflows in the city through the use of green infrastructure and storm water storage systems. Our goal is to reduce combined sewer overflows by 95 percent during a storm event in which one inch of rain falls over two hours.

Onondaga County is investing hundreds of millions of dollars to implement Save the Rain program and reduce CSO events. In 2009, the county abandoned plans to build sewage treatment plants in the city, relying instead on green infrastructure and large storage systems to mitigate CSO events. In areas where it is cost-effective to separate the sewers, we have done so.

More importantly, the county now has over 80 green infrastructure projects complete or under construction, all of which help to keep rainfall out of the sewer system all together.

These projects stand in stark contrast to sewage treatment plants that would now be in place, had the county not opted to change course.

In the absence of replacing the city's entire sewer system, which would cost billions of dollars, overflows will occur when heavy storms hit the city. Thus, the county is investing in a public notification system. Those who wish to know when a CSO event may occur can visit a public website or receive emails or text messages informing them of likely overflow.

One of the key elements of Save the Rain is transparency. Every project advanced through the program has a unique web page where the public can review the project design elements, cost and storm water capture objectives. Likewise, the notification system will provide the public with an access point to be better informed of overflow events when they occur.

http://blog.syracuse.com/opinion/2012/08/save_the_rain_program_has_80_p.html

Onondaga Lake is cleaner today than it has been in generations. Through Save the Rain, sewer overflows and their harmful effects will be reduced substantially by 2018.

For more information on this important program and to see what you can do to help, please visit www.SaveTheRain.us.

We also invite you to join us for a day of tours and clean water education at Onondaga County's Save the Rain, Clean Water Fair Sept. 22 at the Metropolitan Waste Water Treatment Facility on Hiawatha Boulevard in Syracuse.
