GRAY PROJECTS UPDATE

Gray Projects Update There were no gray projects underway in the Save the Rain program during the third quarter of 2018.

GREEN PROJECTS UPDATE

Green Projects Update: Progress continues to be made on several Save the Rain projects during the third quarter of 2018. During the third quarter, construction of the McKinley Park Greening (CSO 067), Comstock Avenue Green Street (CSO 060/077), South Avenue Green Street (CSO 052), Ostrom Place Road Reconstruction (CSO 060/077), and South Geddes Street Road Reconstruction (CSO 014) projects reached the completion phase. The McKinley Park project features a large bioretention area within the park that manages runoff from West Newell Street, and a reconstructed parking lot with a porous asphalt and infiltration system that manages the parking lots runoff. A total of 945,000 gallons of runoff is reduced annually as a result of this project. The Comstock Avenue Green Street project became the largest green street projects completed to date within the Save the Rain Program project portfolio. The project features a series of underground infiltration trenches and bioswales to manage runoff from Comstock Avenue and surrounding areas. In total, over 15 acres of impervious area is managed by the GI within this project, equating to a remarkable runoff reduction of over 14 million gallons per year. The South Avenue Green Street project is the first of five green street projects within CSO 052 to be constructed. This project features four underground infiltration trenches that manage runoff from South Avenue and adjacent side streets, which equates to 938,000 gallons of runoff reduction annually. The Ostrom Place and South Geddes Street road reconstruction projects are the fourteenth and fifteenth completed GI projects in partnership with the City’s annual road reconstruction program. Prior to the road reconstruction efforts, the City, through County funding and County-supplied design, constructs green infrastructure to manage the runoff from the street and surrounding areas. Both Ostrom Place and South Geddes Street feature underground infiltration trenches to manage stormwater runoff. The Ostrom Place project reduces runoff by 718,000 gallons per year and South Geddes Street manages 1.9 million gallons of runoff annually. Due to the partnership with the City’s road reconstruction program, the County’s restoration costs are greatly reduced, and the overall project costs are substantially lower than a standalone County-led green street project. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2018, construction began and continued on the Roney Lane Green Street (CSO 060/077) and Elmhurst Avenue Green Street (CSO 052) projects. It is anticipated that both projects will be completed early in the fourth quarter. Furthermore, construction of the following projects is planned to begin during the fourth quarter with completion either during the fourth quarter or in 2019.     

Charmouth Drive Green Street (CSO 052) Fairfield Avenue Green Street (CSO 052) Hutchinson Avenue Green Street (CSO 052) Syracuse Fire Station No. 5 (CSO 007) Berkeley Drive Road Reconstruction (CSO 060/077)

The County continued their aggressive public education and outreach strategy for all of the Countyled projects under construction and in design during the quarter. For projects under construction, the public was kept apprised of schedule and temporary construction impacts primarily via mailers, but also during various public events and meetings that the Save the Rain team attended.

The designs of several GI projects progressed during the third quarter. The Harbor Brook Green Streets projects on Lakeview Avenue, Richmond Avenue, South Geddes Street, Wilbur Avenue, and Magnolia Street progressed past the 50% design phase with 90% design expected early in the fourth quarter. Public meetings to review and educate the public on the GI designs will be held after the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consultant completes the 90% design. Furthermore, the additional green street candidate projects in CSO 060/077 neared the 25% design phase. These streets include South Salina Street, Elk Street, Robert Drive, Moore Avenue, and Vincent Street. The 25% design is expected from the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consultant early in the fourth quarter, at which time public meetings and discussions will be held. The CSO 005 Sewer Reconfiguration project, reached the regulatory review phase with the NYSDEC and ASLF. This project features a reconfiguration of the underflow connection from the CSO 005 sewer on West Genesee Street to the Harbor Brook Interceptor Sewer (HBIS) to significantly improve sewer hydraulics. Once complete, the SWMM modeling for the project projects a 1 million gallon CSO reduction (1.5 MG to 0.5 MG) and a decrease in CSO activation frequency from 12 events per year to 6 events per year, based on the 1991 typical year. This project is planned for construction in early 2019.

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 CSO 007 sewershed is a tributary to the Harbor Brook Intercepting Sewer. This project will serve to reduce overflows from this sewershed and will provide a new parking lot and site improvements at Fire Station No. 5, located on North Geddes Street. An infiltration trench will be constructed beneath the parking lot at the Fire Station. This green infrastructure practice provides water quality improvement through infiltration and storage, thus 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. This will reduce stormwater runoff to the combined sewer by approximately 570,000 gallons annually.

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. McKinley Park has served the recreational needs of the community as a neighborhood park since 1920. The primary goal of this project was to reduce the volume of stormwater flowing into the combined sewer system along West Newell Street, West Calthrop Avenue, and West Pleasant Avenue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all within the CSO 067 area. Now complete, this project implemented 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 was 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 Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Courts4Kids Program. Court construction was completed and dedicated in summer of 2017. In its entirety, the McKinley Park project will remove an estimated 945,000 gallons of stormwater runoff per year from the combined sewer in the CSO 067 area.

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 project, within the high priority CSO 052 sewershed, is intended to reduce pollution to Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake. The project will be located on seven streets within the City: Elmhurst Avenue, South Avenue, Charmouth Drive, Fairfield Avenue, Fletcher Avenue, Edgewood Avenue, and Hutchinson Avenue. This Green Streets project will use two types of green infrastructure technologies: underground infiltration trenches, and rain gardens (also known as bioretention). These green infrastructure practices will provide water quality improvements through infiltration and storage, thereby reducing stormwater contribution to the combined sewer system. This increased capture will reduce sewer overflows. In total, the project consists of 19 underground infiltration trenches and 1 rain garden. The underground infiltration trenches provide a very high capture volume without an obtrusive footprint at the surface, maximizing cost efficiency. Upon completion of all seven streets, the project will capture runoff from approximately 9.75 acres of impervious area, reducing stormwater runoff to the sewer by approximately 6.5 million gallons annually. Project areas include:  Charmouth Drive from Robineau Road to Arlington Avenue – 6 underground infiltration trenches; annual stormwater runoff capture: 1,800,000 gallons 

Fairfield Avenue from Fletcher to South Avenues – 1 underground trench using modular storage units, 1 bioretention area; annual stormwater runoff capture: 437,000 gallons.

Project Description: The Road Reconstruction project on Berkeley Drive demonstrates the continued partnership between Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. This project is another example of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Public Works partnering with Onondaga County to include green infrastructure in their road reconstruction program. This application, within CSO 060/077, is intended to reduce combined sewer overflows to Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake. The project uses several infiltration manholes between Stratford Street and Windsor Place, to manage the runoff from Berkeley Drive. The infiltration manholes are a unique application of storage structures to manage stormwater in areas that have limited space to do so. Due to their small footprint and high storage volume, infiltration manholes offer greater efficiency and ease of construction than other similar green infrastructure technologies, like underground infiltration trenches. High flows from large rain events (above one inch over two hours) will flow back into the existing combined sewer system for safety. The streetscape will not look different after the work is complete, as the manholes are completely underground with no visible features at the surface. This project manages runoff from over 48,000 square feet of impervious drainage area, equating to approximately 800,000 gallons of stormwater runoff annually, in the high priority area of CSO 060/077.

Project Description: The Road Reconstruction project on Ostrom Place further exemplifies the continued partnership between Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. This project is another example of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Public Works partnering with Onondaga County to include green infrastructure in their road reconstruction program. This application, within CSO 060/077, reduces pollution to Onondaga Creek and Onondaga Lake. The project uses one underground infiltration trench between Euclid Avenue and the dead end to the south, to manage the runoff from Ostrom Place. This area, although a short, dead-end street, is highly impervious due to the expanding parking of college students in areas that were formerly green space. This project captures an exceptionally high volume of stormwater compared to similar streets of this size and length. The infiltration trench is designed to manage runoff from varying areas of Ostrom Place to maximize the stormwater capture for the benefit of the environment. High flows from large rain events (above one inch over two hours) flow back into the existing combined sewer system for safety. The streetscape does not look different after the completed work, as the trenches are completely underground with no visible features at the surface. This project manages over 40,000 square feet of impervious drainage area, equating to greater than 700,000 gallons of stormwater runoff annually, in CSO 060/077.

Project Description: The Road Reconstruction project on South Geddes Street further exemplifies the continued partnership between Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse. This project is another example of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Public Works partnering with Onondaga County to include green infrastructure in their road reconstruction program. This application, within CSO 014, reduces pollution to Harbor Brook and Onondaga Lake. The project uses three underground infiltration trenches between Delaware Street and Shonnard Street, to manage the runoff from South Geddes Street and parts of Merriman Avenue and Shonnard Street. By capturing this additional side-street runoff, the project is highly efficient, capturing nearly 2 million gallons annually. The infiltration trenches are designed to maximize the stormwater capture for the benefit of the environment. High flows from large rain events (above one inch over two hours) flow back into the existing combined sewer system for safety. The streetscape does not look different after the completed work, as the trenches are completely underground with no visible features at the surface. This project manages a total of 109,900 square feet of impervious drainage area, equating to approximately 1,981,500 gallons of stormwater runoff annually, in CSO 014.

CSO 005 Sewer Reconfiguration City of Syracuse Intersection of West Genesee St. and Eureka St. Harbor Brook 005 Sewer Hydraulic Improvement 1,000,000 gal/yr TBD TBD DE Tarolli

Project Description: The CSO 005 Sewer Reconfiguration is a project that highlights a minimally invasive construction for maximum benefit in CSO volume reduction. CSO 005 has a history of frequent overflows, estimated at 1.5 MG per year via 12 activations (data from County SWMM model). This is primarily due to poor sewer hydraulics conveying flows to the Harbor Brook Interceptor Sewer (HBIS). By placing a new regulator structure upstream of a hydraulic bottleneck in the system, the project is able to reduce overflow volume at CSO 005 by 1 million gallons per year. This will reduce CSO activations by 6 occurrences/year (as predicted by the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SWMM model). The existing 005 regulator will remain as the secondary overflow and underflow for any laterals attached to the sewer. A backflow preventer will also be installed in the existing regulator underflow pipe to eliminate an unintended high flow release point for the HBIS. These hydraulic improvements provide significant improvement in CSO 005, reducing pollution to Harbor Brook and Onondaga Lake.

A bioswale is a depressed, vegetated area that receives stormwater runoff from adjacent paved areas. The runoff then infiltrates to ground or is released to the atmosphere through evapotranspiration. Tree trenches and enhanced tree pits include stone trenches constructed beneath sidewalk areas to manage stormwater runoff and incorporate enhanced tree root growing space for improved long-term tree health. Infiltration trenches capture water in an underground stone trench where it then slowly infiltrates into the ground. When complete, these green streets will capture a total of 11,304,929 gallons of stormwater annually. Example of a tree trench Version 09/20/2019

Onondaga Lake Water Quality, 2018 Total Phosphorus Phosphorus is the limiting nutrient for algal growth in Onondaga Lake. Too much phosphorus causes excessive algae, which in turn makes the water appear green and cloudy, and contributes to low oxygen levels in the deep water. New York State has promulgated a narrative standard for phosphorus in water: “None in amounts that will result in growths of algae, weeds and slimes that will impair the waters for their best usages” (NYSCRR §703.2). For ponded waters the narrative standard is interpreted using a guidance value of 20μg/L calculated as the average total phosphorus concentration in the lake’s upper waters between June 1 and September 30. The phosphorus total maximum daily load (TMDL) target is a numeric endpoint that ensures protection of the designated best uses of a water body. The AMP tracks the summer average total phosphorus (TP) concentration in the lake’s upper waters. The ultimate measure of the success of the Onondaga Lake Phosphorus TMDL is the extent to which the in-lake total phosphorus criteria and beneficial uses are achieved. Since 2007, summer average (data from June through September) total phosphorus in the upper waters (0-3 meters) of the lake has been close to 20 ppb (µg/L), which NYS has established as a guidance value for determining a lake’s suitability for recreational uses.

Chlorophyll-a Less phosphorus in the lake has resulted in fewer and less severe algal blooms. Occurrences of phytoplankton blooms, subjectively defined for the AMP as Chlorophyll-a concentrations of 15 µg/L and 30 µg/L for minor (impaired conditions) and major blooms (nuisance conditions), respectively, have decreased dramatically since implementation of Actiflo®. No major algal blooms have been measured in Onondaga Lake in the past eight summers (June-September), based on laboratory measurements. The NYSDEC Division of Water issues "water-bodies with blue-green algae notices" for several regional lakes (see http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/77118.html for more information). Many varieties of algae are beneficial to lakes, providing the basis of the food chain that supports the entire ecosystem. Other types, like cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae), can produce toxins that are harmful to humans and can even cause death to animals that consume it (referred to collectively as harmful algal blooms (HABs)). Large blooms, even non-toxic ones, affect ecosystem health. Algae blooms most frequently occur in nutrient-rich waters, particularly during hot, calm weather. Based on NYSDEC’s September 21, 2018, update, 98 waterbodies were listed with HABs bloom notifications, with Jamesville Reservoir being the only waterbody in Onondaga County with a confirmed bloom based on lab sample results. In July 2018, colonies of Anabaena (a cyanobacteria associated with toxic blooms) were observed throughout Onondaga lake and accumulating in the marina. This resulted in very small isolated scums in a few locations, including the marina, and was characterized as a "pre-HAB" which did not materialize into a full-blown HAB.

PROGRESS REPORT Onondaga Lake and Watershed The attached progress report, dated April 2018, describes how changes in wastewater collection and treatment have brought about major improvements to Onondaga Lake. The large reductions in phosphorus and ammonia loading from Metro have profoundly altered the water quality and habitat conditions in Onondaga Lake. Improved stormwater management and Save the Rain’s innovative green infrastructure projects have helped prevent bacteria-laden combined sewer overflows from reaching streams and nearshore lake areas. In addition to the municipal investment, actions by Honeywell International to remediate the legacy of industrial pollutants have been successful in improving water quality and habitat conditions. The coordinated efforts to address wastewater, stormwater, and industrial contamination have brought about this remarkable transformation of Onondaga Lake.

Macroinvertebrates Since 2000 Onondaga County has sampled the macroinvertebrate communities of Onondaga Lake and several of its tributaries to characterize the existence and severity of use impairment, and to evaluate the effectiveness of control actions [improvements to wastewater collection and treatment, both at Metro and the combined sewer overflows (CSOs)]. 2017 marked the last collection of

macroinvertebrates from Onondaga Lake and the finale tributary macroinvertebrate collections were completed in 2018 fulfilling the requirements of the Amended Consent Judgment. The results from each study will appear in the 2017 (lake macroinvertebrates) and 2018 (tributary macroinvertebrates) Onondaga Lake Ambient Monitoring Program Reports. Macroinvertebrates are an important component of the aquatic food web. Freshwater macroinvertebrate taxa include aquatic insects (Insecta), worms (Oligochaeta), snails (Gastropoda), clams (Bivalvia), leeches (Hirudinea), and crustaceans (Crustacea). These organisms provide the link in

the food web between microscopic organisms and fish, and facilitate the transfer of energy and materials between the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. One important difference between groups of macroinvertebrates is their tolerance to organic (oxygen-demanding) wastes. Macroinvertebrates can be grouped into three broad categories: intolerant, moderately tolerant, and tolerant to this class of pollutant. The intolerant group includes species of mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, riffle beetles, and hellgrammites; the tolerant group includes worms, some midges, leeches, and some snails. The moderately tolerant group includes most snails, sowbugs, scuds, blackflies, craneflies, fingernail clams, dragonflies, and some midges.

Dramatic Improvements in Onondaga Lake Onondaga Lake has been transformed. Once considered among the most polluted lakes in the United States, the lake and shoreline now host hundreds of families, outdoor enthusiasts, and community events each year. The story of the lake’s recovery exemplifies the benefits of tackling environmental challenges in a collaborative way. For decades, Onondaga County leaders have fostered a culture of innovation in science and engineering and engaged the community in a discussion of a shared vision for a restored lake. This progress report describes how the investment in science and engineering has improved the lake and watershed and helped attain the community vision for this important natural resource. Advanced treatment for phosphorus and ammonia at the Metropolitan Syracuse Wastewater Treatment Plant (Metro) reduced the input of these chemicals to Onondaga Lake. In response, the lake now meets water quality standards for phosphorus and ammonia, hosts a diverse community of plants and animals, and is an attractive community asset. Advanced wastewater treatment processes and expanded capacity at Metro have helped to dramatically improve water quality in Onondaga Lake.

Onondaga County has met or exceeded state and federal regulatory requirements to improve the wastewater collection and treatment system, and the quality of the waters is a testament to the value of this community investment.

A successful stormwater management program has also contributed to improving water quality conditions in Onondaga Lake and its tributary streams. Onondaga County has used a combination of traditional and innovative measures to reduce runoff during wet weather help maintain the capacity of the collection system to direct wastewater to Metro. The County’s Save the Rain program has garnered national recognition and awards. In addition to the municipal investment, actions by Honeywell International to remediate the legacy of industrial pollutants have been successful in improving water quality and habitat conditions. The coordinated efforts to address wastewater, stormwater, and industrial contamination have brought about this remarkable transformation of Onondaga Lake. To understand the magnitude of improvement, it’s necessary to review the regulatory process and milestones associated with meeting the federal Clean Water Act goal of “swimmable, fishable” waters and benchmark historical conditions.

38 Progress Report: Onondaga Lake and Watershed, 2016-17

Regulatory Framework for Restoring Our Waters The 1972 federal Clean Water Act defines the regulatory framework for water pollution control in the US. The objective of the 1972 Act was “to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation’s waters” {section 101(a) PWL 92-500}. The same section defined two “national goals”: (1) eliminating the discharge of toxic pollutants into navigable waters by 1985, and (2) achieving an interim water quality level that would protect fish, shellfish, and wildlife while providing for recreation in and on the water wherever attainable.” Common shorthand for the national goals is “swimmable, fishable” waters; this effectively captures the congressional intent to protect both human uses and aquatic ecosystems. The Clean Water Act recognizes that the states have primary responsibility for meeting these goals. A welldeveloped framework for states to evaluate and test their waters, define assimilative capacity (i.e., sensitivity to pollutants), and regulate discharges has emerged. The success of Onondaga Lake’s restoration illustrates how this regulatory framework can be effectively applied to address complex pollution issues.

Classification and Best Use The regulatory framework begins with classification (Figure 1). States are required to classify the water bodies within their boundaries according to their “best use.” In New York, the Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) is responsible for classifying lakes, streams, FIGURE 1. Regulatory process to define and address impaired water bodies rivers, and estuaries. These waters are classified as suitable for drinking water sources, recreation (swimming and boating), aquatic life protection, industrial cooling water, etc. Water quality standards are defined based on scientific analyses that reflect these designated best uses. For example, a lake serving as a public water supply requires more stringent limits on potential contaminants than a lake used for boating or industrial uses. Regular testing is conducted to ensure that water quality and habitat conditions support these designated uses. Waters that do not meet the water quality standards associated with their classification are considered “impaired” and reported to the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Efforts to restore impaired waters are given high priority for state and federal funding.

Onondaga Lake Classification Onondaga Lake includes both Class B waters (northern segment) and Class C waters (southern segment and near the confluence of Ninemile Creek) (Figure 2). The best uses of Class B waters are for primary and secondary water contact recreation and fishing. Primary water contact recreation includes activities that immerse the body in the water, such as swimming; secondary water contact recreation includes activities without full immersion, such as boating. In addition, Class B waters shall be suitable for fish, shellfish, and wildlife propagation and survival. The best usage of Class C waters is fishing. These waters shall also be suitable for fish, shellfish and wildlife propagation and survival. Class C waters shall be suitable for primary and secondary water contact recreation, although other factors may limit the use for these purposes. 2

Historical Water Quality: Impairment Onondaga Lake was included on NYSDEC’s inaugural list of impaired waters in 1996, meaning that measured water quality conditions were not adequate to support the designated best use for aquatic life protection and recreation. The lake was listed due to its elevated levels of ammonia nitrogen, phosphorus, and bacteria; and low levels of dissolved oxygen. Treated effluent from Metro was identified as a primary source of phosphorus and ammonia to Onondaga Lake. The low levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) are related to the elevated phosphorus concentrations: phosphorus is the key nutrient supporting the growth of phytoplankton (algae and cyanobacteria) in the lake water. When phytoplankton die and settle into the deep waters, they are decomposed by microorganisms in an aerobic process that depletes the supply of DO. Low concentrations of DO preclude fish and other aquatic animals from surviving in the deeper waters. Elevated bacteria counts were also linked to the municipal wastewater collection and treatment system. Portions of the City of Syracuse are served by combined sewers; these large underground pipes carry both storm runoff and sewage to Metro. During wet weather, pipe capacity can be exceeded, causing combined sewer overflows (CSOs) to nearby streams.

Commitment to Improvements In 1998, Onondaga County committed to a 15-year phased program of improvements to its wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure as a necessary investment to address the lake’s impaired condition. The program, referred to as the Amended Consent Judgment (ACJ), included three central elements: • Improvements to Metro to enhance ammonia and phosphorus removal; • Improvements to the collection system to reduce the frequency, magnitude, and duration of CSOs; and • Comprehensive monitoring through an annual Ambient Monitoring Program (AMP) to measure the effectiveness of the improvements and evaluate whether impaired uses are restored.

The 1998 estimate for the required infrastructure improvements was $380 million, and Onondaga County received substantial state and federal aid. The ACJ was subsequently modified to include additional projects and to extend through 2018. As of December 2017, the ACJ projects to address wastewater collection and treatment and stormwater management total over $640 million. Onondaga County has shouldered an increasing share of the costs of more recent projects, including the Save the Rain green infrastructure projects. The local share of the total $640 million investment is approximately 56%.

Improvements to Wastewater Treatment Enhanced Ammonia Removal at Metro In the 1990s, concentrations of ammonia nitrogen in the lake waters were above regulatory standards designed to protect sensitive aquatic life forms, including early life stages of fish. Treated effluent from Metro represented over 90% of the external ammonia input to Onondaga Lake. As part of the ACJ, NYSDEC required Onondaga County to undertake a phased program to upgrade and expand the wastewater treatment capacity and processes at Metro in order to reduce 40 Progress Report: Onondaga Lake and Watershed, 2016-17

effluent ammonia levels. Onondaga County implemented best management practices and maximized existing Metro capacity while searching for an effective long-term solution. The County consulted with international experts for advice on emerging technologies capable of reliable nitrification (biological conversion of ammonia to nitrate, a non-harmful form of nitrogen) in cold climates like Syracuse. A Biological Aerated Filtration (BAF) system was selected; the engineering team completed pilot tests to confirm its effectiveness at cold temperatures and brought the process on-line in January 2004. BAF technology uses millions of tiny polystyrene beads to provide the vast surface area needed for the microbial community to metabolize ammonia to nitrate nitrogen. Metro’s contribution of ammonia to Onondaga Lake has declined in response to the interim measures and, most dramatically, when the BAF system came online (Figure 3).

FIGURE 3. Discharge of Ammonia-N to Onondaga Lake from Metro, 1990–2016

Lake Response to Reduced Ammonia Inputs The interim actions to enhance ammonia removal after the ACJ began in 1998 helped improve the lake’s water quality. Installation of the BAF system in 2004 brought about a 98% reduction in Metro’s ammonia loading. The lake response to the load reduction was rapid and dramatic, as shown in Figure 4. Since 2007, Onondaga Lake has consistently met the regulatory standards designed to protect sensitive aquatic life. In 2008, NYSDEC formally de-listed Onondaga Lake as impaired by ammonia–N (Table 1).

TABLE 1. Measured compliance with ammonia N standard, Onondaga Lake, 1998–2017

41 Progress Report: Onondaga Lake and Watershed, 2016-17

Enhanced Phosphorus Removal at Metro The search for cutting-edge technology extended to the phosphorus treatment as well. Onondaga County engaged experts to identify alternatives and conduct pilot tests. Among the performance indicators for the pilot tests was an examination of effluent phosphorus bioavailability. That is, how “potent” was the treated effluent in growing phytoplankton (algae and cyanobacteria)? Because phosphorus is the limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth in Onondaga Lake, and because Metro contributed about 60% of the external loading, reducing bioavailable phosphorus in treated effluent was projected to have a dramatic impact on lake quality. To measure how well the various technologies were able to reduce bioavailable phosphorus, samples of Metro effluent from pilot tests were sent to a specialty testing laboratory. Filtered and unfiltered samples of treated Metro effluent were incubated with algal cells under controlled conditions; all other nutrients except phosphorus were added to the laboratory vessels. The amount of algae grown in the vessels is an indicator of phosphorus bioavailability.

FIGURE 5. Total P input from Metro to Onondaga Lake, 1990–2016

Based on the bioavailability testing results, among other factors, a High Rate Flocculation System (HRFS), trade name Actiflo®, was selected and installed at Metro. Actiflo® is a physical-chemical treatment process that uses microsand particles along with iron salts to enhance coagulation and settling of particulate materials from the wastewater stream. The introduction of HRFS to the Metro treatment train in 2005 reduced the phosphorus loading to the lake from Metro by approximately 86% (Figure 5) and achieved a significant reduction in bioavailable phosphorus to the lake. To understand the significance of the Metro phosphorus reductions in meeting lake water quality goals, samples from the lake tributaries were also subjected to bioassay studies, using the standard laboratory incubation technique described above. This 2009 study focused on the particulate fraction of phosphorus, since almost all dissolved phosphorus supports phytoplankton growth. The results confirmed the results from the pilot testing. Only a tiny percent of the particlebound phosphorus in Metro effluent is available to the algal community. In contrast, particles entering Onondaga Lake through the watershed tributaries exhibit much higher potential for supplying phosphorus to support phytoplankton (Table 2).

Lake Response to Reduced Phosphorus Inputs As displayed in Figure 6, implementation of the High Rate Flocculated Settling technology Actiflo® had an immediate impact on lowering phosphorus concentrations in Onondaga Lake waters. Since 2007, summer average TP levels have fluctuated around the NYSDEC 20 µg/L guidance value; concentrations are slightly higher during wet summers when there is ample runoff from the watershed. The lower summer TP has led to a decline in algal abundance and the frequency, magnitude, and duration of algal blooms in Onondaga Lake. Once a frequent summer phenomenon, algal blooms are now rare and of limited duration when they do occur. The County’s AMP tracks the concentration of chlorophyll-a, the primary photosynthetic pigment as an indicator of phytoplankton abundance. The decline in phytoplankton blooms (Figure 7) is evidence

FIGURE 6. Summer average TP in Onondaga Lake’s upper waters compared to NYS guidance value, 1990–2017

of the effectiveness of the controls on phosphorus inputs to the lake. The AMP also identifies and enumerates the phytoplankton community and tracks the percent of cyanobacteria in the assemblage. Cyanobacterial blooms, also known as harmful algal blooms, can impair water quality for recreation. These data further document the lake’s return to a healthy condition (Figure 8).

FIGURE 8. Cyanobacterial contribution to phytoplankton biomass, Onondaga Lake, June 1–Sept. 30, 1990–2016

Addressing the Combined Sewers Like many older cities, portions of the City of Syracuse are served by combined sewers. These large pipes convey both wastewater and stormwater to Metro for treatment. During wet weather, the pipe capacity can be overwhelmed, resulting in overflows to nearby waterways and periodic exceedances of bacteria counts in the receiving waters.

Onondaga County is required to

In 2009, Onondaga County launched its Save the Rain capture or eliminate 95% of the volume program to meet the challenges of addressing combined sewer overflows. The program uses a multi-pronged of combined sewage reaching the approach that involves both conventional and innovative waterways by December 31, 2018. strategies. Since combined sewers convey both storm runoff and sewage to Metro, two conventional strategies to reduce Save the Rain enabled the County the frequency and magnitude of overflow events include to meet this aggressive goal in 2014, sewer separation (reconfiguring/adding pipes resulting four years ahead of schedule. in one for storm runoff and one for sewage) and storage (installing large tanks or tunnels to capture a portion of wet weather flows, thus ensuring pipe capacity and reducing the risk of overflows). The captured wet weather flows are conveyed to Metro for treatment once the storm is over. These measures are referred to as gray infrastructure because of the substantial concrete construction component of the projects. Seven gray projects have been completed at a cost of $147 million. This investment in sewer separation, piping, and storage facilities prevents over 201 million gallons of combined stormwater runoff and sewage from reaching Onondaga Lake and its tributaries each year. Save the Rain also spearheads green infrastructure projects to reduce the volume of stormwater runoff that enters the combined sewer system. As a result of this program, Onondaga County has become a nationally recognized leader in application of green infrastructure solutions for stormwater management. Hundreds of projects have been installed across Syracuse, including green roofs, rain barrels, rain gardens, porous pavement, tree plantings, and vegetated swales. To date, more than 200 unique green infrastructure projects have been completed, including both public and private Green Improvement Fund (GIF) projects, with a total investment of $58.8 million; these projects—some large, some small—prevent an estimated 154 million gallons of stormwater from reaching the collection system. 44 Progress Report: Onondaga Lake and Watershed, 2016-17

Onondaga Lake as a Recreational Resource Water quality conditions in much of Onondaga Lake support water contact recreation, and have for many years as displayed in Figure 9. With the exception of sites along the southern shoreline, where CSO-affected streams enter the lake, bacteria counts are within New York State health standards for water contact recreation. As documented in the technical report “Attainment of Designated Uses in Onondaga Lake” a beach located at Willow Bay would have been open continuously during the summer since 2008. Much of the lake shoreline is in public ownership, with ongoing projects designed to connect the lake with the City of Syracuse and surrounding areas through trails, parklands, and destination venues. A collaborative research and monitoring program that includes the County’s Department of Water Environment Protection (OCDWEP), SUNY College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry (SUNY-ESF), NYSDEC, and Honeywell is in place to track the fish community’s response to changing water quality and habitat conditions. This collaborative program documents that Onondaga Lake’s fish community includes a diverse group of native and nonnative species. Surveys conducted since the late 1980s have identified 66 fish species. Onondaga Lake is part of the Oswego River Basin and the fish community is similar to those found in Oneida Lake and the Seneca River. In the 1980s, the Onondaga Lake fish community consisted almost entirely of pollution-tolerant species; the current fish community includes pollution-sensitive species as well. The program has documented increasing numbers and expanding distribution of brown trout. Many lake fishes are highly valued by anglers, including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, brown trout, brown bullhead, yellow perch, and sunfish. Some fish, such as alewife, golden shiner, and other small species, are a food source for predatory fish. Still other species, such as longnose gar, bowfin, and the state-threatened lake sturgeon, are important for their unique appearance, life history, or relative scarcity. Invasive species present in Onondaga Lake, like the zebra mussel, round goby, and alewife, have a profound effect on the lake ecosystem by altering food-web relationships, affecting water clarity, and changing nutrient exchange between the water and the bottom sediments. The research and monitoring efforts provide early warning of new invasive species. Further changes in the lake’s fish community are anticipated as water quality and habitat conditions continue to improve.

Once rarely caught in Onondaga Lake, brown trout now persist throughout most of the year due to improved dissolved oxygen levels.

Similar to many New York State waterbodies, there are health advisories limiting consumption of fish from Onondaga Lake. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) recommends that women under age 50 and children under age 15 eat no fish from the lake. This advisory is in place for several water bodies in the Finger Lakes region. The NYSDOH further advises eating no walleye, carp, channel catfish, or white perch from Onondaga Lake. The health advisory also applies to largemouth and smallmouth bass over 15 inches; these larger fish should not be consumed. Other fish species are considered safe for adult men, but with some warnings: limit consumption of brown bullhead and pumpkinseed to four meals per month, and other species to one meal per month.

Conclusions This progress report describes how the changes in wastewater collection and treatment have brought about major improvements to Onondaga Lake. The large reductions in phosphorus and ammonia loading from Metro have profoundly altered the water quality and habitat conditions in Onondaga Lake. Improved stormwater management and Save the Rainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovative green infrastructure projects have helped prevent bacteria-laden combined sewer overflows from reaching streams and nearshore lake areas. The lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biota has responded to the improving water quality and habitat conditions with increasing numbers of species as well as a shift in community composition to include more pollution-sensitive organisms. As algal blooms have become rare, increased light penetration has enabled the rooted aquatic plant (macrophyte) community to expand into deeper water. These macrophytes provide improved spawning and nursery habitat and stabilize the lake sediments, which further benefits water clarity. With the improving aesthetic conditions, thousands more people visit Onondaga Lake parks and shoreline each year to enjoy walking, fishing, biking, paddling, and community events. The investment in innovative wastewater and stormwater solutions has allowed the community to meet its vision and reconnect with Onondaga Lake.
