Onondaga County Save the Rain

Stormwater “Rainwater or melted snow that runs off streets, lawns and other sites� U.S. EPA In natural areas, this stormwater is absorbed into the soil or flows into bodies of water 5

Key Takeaways Urban areas have disrupted the natural water cycle

Impervious surfaces can lead to flooding, contamination and combined sewer overflows Treating stormwater in combined facilities is costly and resource (energy use) intensive

Save the Rain Consent Judgement – 1989 • Alleged violations of State and Federal water pollution control laws • Onondaga County held responsible for portion of pollution • Performed series of studies to evaluate need for upgrading Metro and to treat CSOs Amended Consent Judgement (ACJ) – 1998 • Framework to upgrade Metro and address CSOs • Focused on conventional gray infrastructure • Planned to build a number of regional treatment facilities (RTFs)

14


Gray Infrastructure “Includes the pipes, pumps, ditches, and detention ponds engineered by people to manage stormwater� Soil Science Society of America

Designed to move water away from the built environment

15


Save the Rain 4th Stipulation of the ACJ – 2009 • Combined use of gray and green infrastructure solutions • Plans to construct more RTF’s halted • Save the Rain was born! • Onondaga County’s “better way forward”

Key Takeaways Save the Rain uses green and gray infrastructure to help capture stormwater before it reaches our combined sewer system 640,000,000 gallons/year captured through Save the Rain The Connect the Drops program is focused on keeping litter out of Onondaga Lake As a result of Save the Rain and other lake cleanup projects, Onondaga Lake is the cleanest it has been in over 100 years

Why South Salina Street? • Area is located in a high discharging CSO basin (CSO 060/077) – On average 22 discharges and 7 million gallons of CSO discharge in a year

• High concentration of impervious (paved), non-natural areas on South Salina Street contribute to increased overflows


CSO 060/077


South Salina Street Green Corridor • Onondaga County received $1.2M grant from NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation in 2017 for the project • Work will be from East Colvin Street to East Newell Street • 5.3 million gallons of stormwater runoff reduced
