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 May, 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 completed the West Chamber wire saw blackouts and installed the inclinometers. Installed the 2nd tier of bracing for the 84� conveyances and excavated the overflow chamber to an elevation of 371 feet. The drawdown of Basin Cell 1 was completed. The wells and piezometers for Basin Cell 2 were installed and a draw down test was completed. The pre-drill and jet grouting of the east chamber to station 8+16 was also completed in May.

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: The general contractor, Joseph J. Lane Construction, restoration of CSO area 045 on Rich Street, Crescent Avenue, Hudson Street, and West Castle Street is approximately 95% complete.

The cured in place lining of existing sewers on Hudson and Crescent were completed in May. J.J Lane also continued work in CSO Area completed the mainline sewer and sanitary and storm lateral installation on West Genesee Street between Wallace and North Clinton.

Project Description The CSO 044 Conveyances Project provides for the transmission of wet weather flow from CSO 044, which discharges to Onondaga Creek at South Avenue and West Castle Street, to the Midland Regional Treatment Facility (RTF) on the south side of Syracuse. Conveyance of the combined sewer flow to the Midland RTF will be via approximately 500 linear feet of 96-inch diameter pipeline between the terminus of the 144-inch pipeline installed under the Midland Phase Two RTF and Conveyances Project to CSO 044.

Green Components: In addition to the pipeline, the project will include the construction of a new regulator structure in South Avenue, and two conveyance flushing chambers. The “Greening the Gray” components incorporated include the utilization of captured stormwater for the flushing chambers, the installation of rain gardens for stormwater infiltration, and an educational interpretive walkway.

Project Update: Construction continued work on the 96” CSO conveyance pipeline that will connect CSO 044 in South Avenue to the Midland RTF. In May the contractor continued general site cleanup activities and the installation of the electrical conduits and systems for the flushing chambers. All work, including restoration, is anticipated to be complete in June of 2012.

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 May, the contractor completed restoration work in Skunk City, and on Wilbur Avenue, West Fayette Street and Seymour Street. In addition, work continued on the Delaware/Grand Rain Garden and Bio-retention Area. To date the project has installed 7,503 LF of new 18” to 36” interceptor sewer between Velasko Road and West Fayette Street on the west side of Syracuse. In addition, 5,222 LF of new local sewers we installed, ranging in size from 8” to 42” in diameter. The sewer installation is 100% completed and the project overall is approximately 95% complete. The project is anticipated to be completed by July 2012.

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 100-year storm (5.2 inches) from the tank and the control building rooftop.

Project Update: Conveyances - In May the contractor continued work on the conveyance sewers from CSO 003and 004 that will transmit combined sewage during wet weather events to the new storage tank.

FACT SHEET Leavenworth/Barker Park Project Description: The Leavenworth/Barker Park Project involves capturing stormwater runoff from numerous adjacent streets and allowing it to infiltrate through several different green infrastructure features. Stormwater will be captured from Matty Avenue, Park Avenue, Barker Avenue, Wilkinson Street, and Tracy Street as part of this project.

Around the perimeter of Leavenworth Park, vegetated swales atop stone infiltration beds capture roadway runoff and allow it to infiltrate directly into the groundwater below. These swales will be planted with two groundcover species and a native wetland grass species that can tolerate both wet and dry soils.

At the adjacent Barker Park, a rain garden will be installed between Tracy and Wilkinson streets. The rain garden will be planted with a mixture of native shrubs, flowering perennials, and grass species that will foster evapotranspiration and infiltration, preventing runoff from entering the combined sewer system.

The final feature of Barker Park is a new basketball court that will be made of porous asphalt, allowing stormwater to infiltrate directly through the asphalt surface and thus making the court playable even after a rain storm. This basketball court will be done in conjunction with the Courts4Kids, an initiative of the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation and the Carmelo K. Anthony Foundation.

The green infrastructure at Leavenworth Barker Park is designed to capture up to 1� of rainfall at a given time, reducing annual stormwater runoff by approximately 1,574,000 gallons.

FACT SHEET Seymour Academy Playground Project Description: This project involves removal of the existing Seymour Academy Playground asphalt surfacing and construction of a new rain garden and tree trench. The new tree trench will be installed in the right-of-way on Seymour St., and has been designed to capture runoff from the roadway itself. Further, the new rain garden has been designed to capture runoff from the remaining asphalt within the Playground.

The Seymour Academy Playground project will be constructed in conjunction with the Seymour Academy Parking Lot project in the summer of 2012. The amount of stormwater capture for the Playground project via the asphalt pavement removal, and tree trench and rain garden installation is approximately 719,000 gallons annually. In total, the two Seymour Academy projects capture 1,217,000 gallons of stormwater annually.

Highlights of the May 2012 Fisheries Sampling Events Capture of the largest Tiger Muskellunge recorded in Onondaga Lake: Tiger Muskellunge (a hybrid of a Muskellunge and Northern Pike) are stocked in water bodies with high fishing pressure and to a lesser extent in lakes to control less desirable species of fish such as gizzard shad and white perch. Because of their rapid growth they provide angler’s with exciting fishing, and because they are infertile there is little risk of their becoming a nuisance.

Tiger Muskellunge Captured in Onondaga Lake on May 22, 2012.

The fish was 48 inches long and 22-25 lbs. Weight was estimated to ensure that fish was released unharmed.

Yellow Perch Yellow Perch populations in Onondaga Lake have been increasing since 2008. In 2011, the estimated catch per unit effort of yellow perch was 106 fish per hour--4 to 5 time higher than those reported in 2000 - 2007. Initial observation from the May 2012 electrofishing event suggests that the yellow perch populations in Onondaga Lake are close to those reported in 2011. Increase in the Yellow Perch population may be an indication of improved water quality and habitat conditions in Onondaga Lake.

New Skiddy Park playground honors Syracuse basketball legend Paul Seymour Tuesday, May 15, 2012

By Kelly Homan Rodoski • (315) 443-3784 Paul Seymour left a strong mark both in Syracuse and in basketball history. A 6-foot-1-inch guard, he was a three-time all star and team captain of the 1955 National Basketball Association Championship Syracuse Nationals.

Following his successful career as an NBA player and coach, in which he was known for having a principled role in helping to integrate professional basketball, Seymour returned to Syracuse and opened a successful business on the Near West Side.

Here, he became well known for his generous spirit and commitment to the neighborhood and its people.

Near Westside Initiative (NWSI) board members and neighborhood residents found it fitting that the new playground at Skiddy Park honor Seymour’s impact on the neighborhood, the City of Syracuse and the sport of basketball. The unveiling of the Paul Seymour Playground will take place at Skiddy Park, located at the intersection of Tioga and Otisco streets, on Thursday, May 17, at 3:30 p.m.

This location is particularly fitting as Seymour was part of the first scrimmage game, played at Blodgett School, directly across from Skiddy Park, using the experimental 24-second shot clock developed by Nationals-owned Danny Biasone in an effort to bring time limits to the game. The clock was adopted by the NBA and is credited with saving the sport from dwindling popularity.

Mayor Stephanie Miner will attend the event, which will feature a five-minute video of highlights from Seymour’s career and remarks by Syracuse sports legend Dolph Schayes, a teammate of Seymour.

Members of the Seymour family will be there to unveil the park. The NWSI will celebrate the event with sports equipment giveaways to neighborhood children and refreshments. All are invited to attend.

The completed playground is the result of a collaborative neighborhood and community effort. The NWSI, through the generosity of more than a dozen donors dedicated to the revitalization of the http://insidesu.syr.edu/2012/05/15/skiddy-park-2/

neighborhood, raised more than $40,000 for the playground, which was then matched by the City of Syracuse Parks Department.

“The Paul Seymour Playground is a great example of how government, nonprofit agencies and the private sector can pool their resources to benefit the community,” says Baye Muhammad, Syracuse commissioner of Parks, Recreation and Youth Programs.

The City of Syracuse Parks Department, the NWSI and park and landscape design firm Parkitects Inc. worked with neighborhood children to design a space that incorporated what they were looking for in a playground. The design includes two age-appropriate playgrounds, several seating areas and a new water feature. Additionally, porous pavement is incorporated throughout the park as part of the Onondaga County Save the Rain program.

Maarten Jacobs, director of the Near Westside Initiative, is anxious to unveil the playground with summer around the corner. “The new playground at Skiddy Park is exactly what the Near Westside community deserves. As the cornerstone of the neighborhood, Skiddy Park now offers a comprehensive safe place for kids in the community to play and exercise,” says Jacobs.

“The last time Skiddy Park had a new playground was 40 years ago,” says Near West Side resident Carole Horan. “A new playground was way overdue, and is greatly appreciated by the community.”

New Skiddy Park playground in Syracuse to be dedicated Thursday Published: Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 7:27 AM Updated: Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 7:00 PM

By Charley Hannagan / The Post-Standard

Syracuse, NY – The new playground at Skiddy Park will be unveiled Thursday.

The playground will be dedicated at 3:30 p.m. to Paul Seymour, captain of the 1955 NBA championship Syracuse Nationals team and a resident of the Near Westside.

The event will celebrate Seymour’s legacy, the sports legacy of the Near Westside and the playground constructed by the Near Westside Initiative, the city of Syracuse Parks Department and the Onondaga County Save the Rain program.

Skiddy Park is located at the intersection of Otisco and Tioga streets.

WHAT'S SHAKIN' / Tuesday, May 22,2012 By Kevin Corbett

GARDEN STATE The final phase of construction has begun on the new rain gardens in Tipperary Hill’s Pass Arboretum, along Avery Avenue, with planting and landscaping expected to be completed by June 1.

“The plan was to come back in the spring and actually do the planting,” explained B.J. Adigun, program coordinator for CH2M Hill, the county’s Save the Rain program consulting firm.

“If you plant in the winter, sometimes those plants don’t take. We had a crazy winter/early spring.

That kind of pushed back our schedule a little bit because we really wanted to make sure that the plantings would survive. If you put them in too soon when the weather really hasn’t turned over, there’s a good chance that you’ll be re-planting. We want to ensure we have a thriving, successful rain garden.”

Meanwhile, a similar project is on the same timetable for the entrance to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo along Wilbur Avenue. Both projects involve planting of flowers and shrubbery. Neighbors can expect immediate improvements in the look of the area, especially since excavation and drainage projects had left large depressions void of plant growth or even grass.

“The contractor now is out there working on plantings at both places,” Adigun said. “You’re going to see the activity pick up and you’re going to see the rain gardens fully established by June 1. The plan was always to not only capture rain water, but also be aesthetically pleasing areas for people to enjoy.”

Robert Haggart Park is being redone in an environmentally friendly way Published: Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 2:00 AM

By Dick Case / Post-Standard columnist Robert Haggart Park, a pocket park dear to our hearts at the PostStandard, is getting a make-over.

The park is at North Clinton and West Genesee streets. It’s named for Bob Haggart, who used to be a columnist for this newspaper. Bob died in 1997.

We’re close enough to the park so we can watch over it.

Lately, we watched Haggart sinking.

The problem seems to be the park was put together hastily on top of construction filled from the building that used to stand on the site. This is where the Cominsky family ran a restaurant, back then.

We’re told this is a joint county-city redo. It’s been welcomed into Onondaga County “Save the Rain” projects, according to Matt Millea, deputy county executive for physical services.

The park’s been “boarded up” behind a wall of wood all winter. This month, a county crew dug into the park and carted away fill. This week, we’re down to the basic 19th century foundation. The park’s been redesigned by a Syracuse firm of engineering consultants by the name of CH2M Hill and is a piece of the county’s sewer separation project that spreading all over town.

This is tied to the federal consent order dating to the 1990s to stop the overflow of sewage into Onondaga Lake. “Save the Rain” ranges from the rain barrel in my back yard to makeovers in parks, such as Haggart.

The work at Haggart likely will take all summer, but when it’s done, “We’ll have a fullyrestored park,” according to Matt Millea.

The new Haggart will include interior canopy trees, landscape planters, places to sit, porous pavement and stormwater planters connected to drains to Clinton and Genesee streets.

These we see in designs by Leah Rominger. We’re seeing mounds of sculptured soil and

http://blog.syracuse.com/opinion/2012/05/robert_haggart_park_is_being_r.html

other changes-in-the-works featured across Syracuse and Onondaga County.

These locations include two “Save the Rain” redos in Sunnycrest Park and Skiddy Park (this park will have three new areas); the entry to Burnet Park’s Gifford Zoo; Comfort Tyler Park at Comstock Avenue and East Colvin Street; and Leavenworth Park and adjacent Barber Square, along Park Avenue.

Matt Millea explains areas around five branch county libraries will be started in 2012: Petit, White, Hazard, Mundy and Beauchamp. Westcott Community Center and the Sherman Park playground also are on the schedule.

All are within the combined sewer district. Matt says green infrastructure will be used at each of the locations, although each will be different, as far as details are concerned. A wet land will be created along Harbor Brook through the city’s Skunk City neighborhood and green roof projects are to be built at various sites, including at the Erie Canal Museum.

The county plans to replace sewer lines along West Genesee, West Willow and North Franklin streets this summer. Some of the sewer lines date to 1875.

Robert Haggart Park was dedicated in 1997.

Passing of friends I’ve lost two friends during the week past.

Jean Stone Hughes died in Colonie, where she’s been staying the past few years with the family of her daughter, Sil. She was 92.

Jean was a Skaneateles girl by adoption, though, moving there with her husband, Hugh Hughes, in 1945, into an old farm house with 27 acres around it. She grew up on her dad, Jim Stone’s, farm in Marcellus, a place that went back 134 years in the family. The Stones called their spread, Sheltered Valley. Jim raised champion Holsteins.

Sheltered Valley shrunk as Marcellus Central School, its near neighbor, grew. Jim’s grandson, the late Moe Helfer, sold the place in 1986. Jean’s Skaneateles farm dwindled to an acre before poor health forced her to move.

Among other honors, Jean was in the first graduating class from that new school, in 1938.

The Hughes also had a camp on Twitchell Lake in the Adirondacks. Big Moose Chapel is one of the benefactors mentioned in her obituary. She’s coming back to Skaneateles this week.

First Presbyterian Church in Skaneateles holds a celebration of Jean’s life at 10 a.m.

Thursday.

Joe LaGuardia, retired as marketing director of the State Fair, died in Boston last week, where he’d gone for treatment of a rare blood disorder. Joe was but 63.

I met Joe when he came to work at the Herald-Journal, back in 1970. He was a friend for life. As another friend of his remarked last week, “Joe was a gentle-man.” He truly was.

The City of Syracuse, Syracuse University and several project partners celebrated the reopening of Forman Park on East Genesee Street on May 31, starting the park’s new fountain to mark the opening of the space.

The recent completion of construction at Forman Park represents years of investment and marks a significant milestone as Forman Park is the first component of the Connective Corridor to be completed. Historical elements of the park, such as the Police Memorial and the Redfield/Forman monument have been preserved, while new amenities, such as benches, bike racks, a fountain, green infrastructure, landscaping, lighting, public art and walking paths have been added.

The total cost of the project is approximately $2,062,619. Funding sources include grants from DASNY and ESD through SU, the City of Syracuse, funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Onondaga County “Save the Rain” program.

The Forman Park project includes “Save the Rain” green infrastructure elements. In total, 4,045 shrubs and perennials will be planted as part of this project, capturing approximately 119,000 gallons of stormwater annually.

“The completion of Forman Park’s reconstruction is a major milestone in the Connective Corridor’s development,” says SU Chancellor and President Nancy Cantor. “The hard, collaborative work of many partners has both restored and rejuvenated a public space at one of the city’s vital geographic and cultural anchor points. Its fresh design reflects the innovative approach to engaging the public that we’re seeing all along the Corridor and points to the promise of more great things to come.”

“Our city parks are key social and cultural engines in our community and we are pleased to reopen Forman Park to the public as summer arrives,” says Syracuse Mayor Stephanie A. Miner.

Forman Park opens with renovations By: Web Staff

05/31/2012 11:26 AM

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Forman Park is open again after organizations around Syracuse spent more than a year planning and renovating the park. The park on East Genesee Street opened today, and the starting of the new fountain marked that.

Certain historical elements of the park have been preserved, including the police memorial and the Redfield-Forman monument. New elements to the park include benches, bike racks, a fountain, public art and walking paths.

Now that the park has been renovated and open again, city officials hope it will bring more people to Syracuse to enjoy the area.

"That's what we want to do in our park system. You know, New York City has a wonderful park system, we do too.

But we want to make these improvements so people can come to the city, check into a hotel, stay overnight, enjoy our festivals, enjoy our restaurants,� said Baye Muhammad, Park Commissioner.

The park also includes "Save the Rain" green infrastructure elements, like more than 4,000 shrubs and perennials.

The elements will capture about 119,000 gallons of storm water each year.

Save the Rain program in Syracuse also will reach the suburbs Published: Monday, May 07, 2012, 7:27 AM

Updated: Monday, May 07, 2012, 7:36 AM

Onondaga County has launched a new edition of its award-winning Save the Rain program.

This time, it’s saving suburban rain.

The county last week announced projects in a dozen suburban communities to reduce the leakage of rainwater into the county sewer system. They will receive a total of $3 million from the county.

The projects range from the installation of porous pavement in Clay to the distribution of 25 rain barrels in the village of Manlius. In total, 12 villages and towns will get money.

Until now, the county’s Save the Rain project has been limited to the county’s court-ordered efforts to restrict sewage overflows into Onondaga Lake. This year, that has meant the implementation of 50 “green infrastructure” projects within Syracuse to reduce rainwater runoff into the city’s aging sewer system, which in most areas of the city is combined with its street drains.

Among the projects completed last year was the installation of a 60,000-square-foot system for collecting rainwater runoff from the roof of the county convention center.

During heavy rainstorms, sewers in the city become overloaded, requiring the release of untreated sewage into Onondaga Lake to prevent backups of raw sewage into streets and homes.

County Executive Joanie Mahoney launched Save the Rain as an alternative to building four new sewage treatment facilities in the city. By the end of the year, the program will be almost half-way to achieving compliance with a federal court order that requires the county to capture 250 million gallons of storm water a year through the use of “green infrastructure.”

The county is spending $80 million on the city version of Save the Rain, $20 million less than what it would have cost to build regional treatment facilities, said Matt Millea, deputy county executive for physical services.

Last year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency named Onondaga County and Syracuse one of the country’s top 10 leaders in green infrastructure, thanks to the Save the Rain program.

The program has proven to be so popular that suburban county legislators asked to be included. Mahoney last year proposed spending $1.2 million on suburban projects. The Legislature increased that to $3 million.

http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2012/05/save_the_rain_program_in_syrac.html

Mahoney said the suburban projects will not take money from the city projects. The city version of the program is coming in under budget, so money is available to fund both the suburban projects and all of the city projects necessary to meet the court order, she said.

She said the suburban projects will reduce rainwater infiltration into aging and often leaky sewer pipes in the suburbs. They will not affect the flow of sewage into Onondaga Lake, but they will help prevent sewage backups and flooding in the suburban communities, she said.

Plans for the suburban projects include: Clay: $420,000 to replace conventional paving with porous pavement on Hummingbird Path and Indigo Path in the Bayberry community. Porous pavement reduces the surface water entering storm drains.

DeWitt: $342,000 to install rain barrels and plant trees in the Park Hill and Franklin Park neighborhoods.

Village of Manlius: $3,000 to distribute 25 rain barrels to capture runoff from downspouts.

Solvay: $62,394 to install a rain garden, also known as a “bioretention� area, near the Solvay Youth Center.

Fayetteville: $360,000 to install porous pavement, plant trees and create rain gardens.

East Syracuse: $115,000 to create a rain garden and install a sand filter to treat and partially capture rainwater from a paved parking lot at the village Department of Public Works facility.

Geddes: $467,500 to install a trench along Grove Road to capture rainwater runoff from paved areas and to replace conventional pavement with porous pavement at the town hall parking lot.

Town of Camillus: $421,000 to install porous pavement, create rain gardens, install rain barrels and plant trees in Shove Park.

Camillus approved for $421K grant for green initiatives in Shove Park

By Amanda Seef

As of Thursday, May 3, 2012 -11:43 a.m

Camillus — The town of Camillus and Geddes have been selected to receive grants to promote green infrastructure in their towns.

The county's Save the Rain program will be extended to 12 suburban communities with 14 projects, resulting in $3 million in updates. The projects will now go before the county legislature to be approved in May and June.

The suburban projects are an extension of more than 50 projects within the city in the last year.

The suburban green infrastructure projects were solicited by the county Department of Water Environment Protection, which has been tasked with capturing 250 million gallons of storm water per year through green projects. That was mandated by a federal court order.

“The expansion of the Save the Rain program into suburban towns and villages is great news for our community,” said County Executive Joanie Mahoney.

The town of Camillus is expected to receive $421,000 to create porous pavement, rain gardens, rain barrels and plant trees. All work is expected in Shove Park in order to reduce stormwater runoff on impervious surfaces. The work will also help reduce stormwater inflow and infiltration to the sewer system. It's expected to reduce runoff by 4.5 million gallons annually.

The town of Geddes will also receive a total of $467,500 for projects on Grove Road and at Town Hall.

Green initiatives in east-side suburbs to be funded by Save the Rain grants

By Amanda Seef

As of Thursday, May 3, 2012 -1:44 p.m

Onondaga County — Numerous east-side suburbs are expected to receive grants to promote green projects in their communities.

The county's Save the Rain program will be extended to 12 suburban communities with 14 projects, resulting in $3 million in updates. The projects will now go before the county legislature to be approved in May and June.

The suburban projects are an extension of more than 50 projects within the city in the last year.

The suburban green infrastructure projects were solicited by the county Department of Water Environment Protection, which has been tasked with capturing 250 million gallons of storm water per year through green projects. That was mandated by a federal court order.

“The expansion of the Save the Rain program into suburban towns and villages is great news for our community,” said County Executive Joanie Mahoney.

Those who will receive grants, once passed by the legislature, include: DeWitt for $342,000 The town is expected to create rain barrels and plant trees in the Park Hill neighborhood. The town will also create a water quality infiltration system designed with underground perforated piping.

The town's second project will include rain barrels and tree planting in Franklin Park, distributing 800 rain barrels to homeowners.

Village of Manlius for $3,000 The village will distribute 25 rain barrels on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Village of Fayetteville for $360,000 As part of the ongoing Limestone Plaza renovations and repairs, the project will use porous pavement, rain gardens and newly-planted trees to reduce inflow and infiltration into the county's sewer.

The new parking spaces would be created out of porous asphalt that would allow rainwater to seep through the material. This would help the village control where the water goes, so that it does not overpower the sewer system.

The bump-outs in the intersections would also be constructed with rain gardens. Additional trees will help in the overall green infrastructure, as well as helping to calm drivers on the road.

Village of East Syracuse for $115,000 A rain garden would be created on the Department of Public Works property to capture runoff from the roof.

Town of Manlius for $10,500 The underground infiltration system for the Murfield drainage district will be retrofitted, replacing an existing system that is more than 30 years old.

DeWitt secures two sizeable green grants

By Neil Benjamin Jr.

As of Friday, May 4, 2012 -3:18 p.m.

The town of DeWitt applied for two grants a while back from the Save the Rain Green Infrastructure program run through Onondaga County.

“We weren’t expecting to get them, really,” said Jim Conlon, director of zoning and planning for DeWitt.

Turns out, the town got both through the Save the Rain program, which announced Wednesday it was giving away $3 million to towns in the eastern suburbs.

DeWitt got two sizeable grants. It received $219,000 for a project in Franklin Park and $123,000 for the Park Hill Green initiative. Baldwinsville received the most money, $492,023 for a Bioretention project to reconstruct a street.

The news happened so fast, Conlon said he only found about the grants when the Eagle Bulletin put in a request for comment.

“I was very surprised,” he said. “This is a huge plus for the town because we got these two big grants that will help deal with rainwater runoff.”

The entire program gives 12 communities money for 14 total projects. In June, this will go in front of the county legislature for approval. This is an extension of dozens of projects within the city over the past year. The Department of Water Environment Protection was the group which started the work in getting money from the county.

The task is to capture around 250 million gallons of storm water via the use of green infrastructure by 2018, which helps the environment in many ways.

“It’ll reduce what flows into Onondaga Lake,” Conlon said. “Plus, we’ll be able to reuse the water in ways like washing our car, among others.”

He said that chemicals, trash and many other things that aren’t good for the lake flow into it each year, and that the initiative will stop a large percentage of that from happening.

In Franklin Park, Conlon said, approximately 800 rain barrels will be distributed to 400 homeowners who will put them around their properties and allow the rain water to collect. Part of the grand also funds a tree planting initiative, and that should have about 250 new trees planted. Conlon said residents will be taught about how to plant a tree, as well as where.

http://www.eaglenewsonline.com/news/2012/may/04/dewitt-secures-two-sizeable-green-grants/

“We want to make sure they plant them where it won’t interfere with piping or anything underground,” Conlon said. He added: “The tree planting will help suck up some of the water, so it’s another win.”

In Park Hill Green, the neighborhood will be planting about 100 trees in the greater Park Hill neighborhood. It’s also looking to put in a water quality infiltration system “designed with underground perforated piping.”

Conlon said securing the grants wasn’t all his doing.

“It was a team effort all-around,” he said. “It’s a plus for the town. It’ll help beautify our town and also Onondaga Lake.”

County Executive Joanie Mahoney, in a press release, commented on how she felt about the project.

“The expansion of the Save the Rain program into suburban towns and villages is great news for our community,” she said.

B'ville receives Save the Rain grant

By Erin Wisneski

As of Monday, May 14, 2012 -10:49 a.m

Baldwinsville — I recently sat down with Mayor Joseph Saraceni at the B’ville Diner to learn about what is new in the village. While he gave me an update on the Village Square project (sidewalks should be in within the month then topsoil and seed will be spread) and this weekend’s Carp Tournament (Joe will participate as a local celebrity), the breaking news was the village receiving a $492,000 Save the Rain grant.

Run by the county, the Save the Rain program is a comprehensive storm water management plan intended to reduce pollution to Onondaga Lake and its tributaries (read more at savetherain.us/about). Originally focused on the city, county officials recently expanded the program to include the suburbs of Syracuse.

Village officials applied for the grant about two months ago, requesting $700,000, Joe said.

While they didn’t receive the entire amount, “we were by far the largest award,” he added.

The County Executive approved Baldwinsville’s grant as well as several others last week. Now the County Legislature has to approve it.

The village will use the funds to reconstruct Lock Street turning it into a two-way boulevard with a rain garden in the median. That way, when water runs off the hill, it will hit the rain garden rather than running directly into the river along with all the debris and chemicals collected along the way.

Suburban projects such as Baldwinsville’s are aimed at reducing storm water impacts on over burdened and aging sanitary sewer systems and pump stations. This will ultimately help Onondaga County to comply with a federal court order requiring the capture of 250 million gallons of storm water per year via green infrastructure by 2018.

“This says a lot for working with the county as well as utilizing a Smart Growth plan of development,” Joe said, adding, “As a riverfront community, we have a responsibility to manage storm water run off and this is going to help us do that. It will also help to reconstruct an old street in an area that holds a lot of potential for redevelopment.”

Mayor Saraceni and Editor Wisneski are scheduled to meet for coffee again at 9 a.m. Tuesday, May 22, at Canal Walk Café, 23 Syracuse St., B’ville. Community members are welcome to join them for coffee and address concerns about the village with the mayor or send your questions to editor@baldwinsvillemessenger.com and Editor Wisneski will ask the mayor for you.

Onondaga County could soon be saving rain in the suburbs.

Lawmakers are considering expansion of the "Save the Rain" program, which has already kept 125 million gallons of water out of the sewage treatment plant in the city of Syracuse.

The Save the Rain program sprang out of a court order to stop sewer overflow from the city of Syracuse into Onondaga Lake and it's tributaries.

The program has worked so well, Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney is asking lawmakers to approve $3 million worth of projects in the suburbs. http://www.wrvo.fm/post/saving-rain-suburbs

Towns and villages have a different reason for wanting to keep rain water at bay.

"They do have sanitary sewers that are not combined, but when you look at the flow on a regular day, the number of gallons that go through a pump station and then compare it to what happens after a rain storm, they have eight times the water going through," Mahoney said.

Mahoney says all this rain often overtaxes systems, which ultimately costs taxpayers money.

She hopes approval of projects like porous pavement, rain barrels and rain gardens can help.

In the meantime she says the average homeowner can also do something to save the rain.

"I talk about turning downspouts, so they hit your landscaping instead of your driveway.

If everybody was to do that we could slow seven percent of the water in a typical storm," Mahoney said.

end, the Save the Rain program will be almost half way to achieving compliance with a federal court order requiring Onondaga County to capture 250 million gallons of storm water per year via the use of green infrastructure by 2018.

In in 2011 to expand the Save the Rain program to suburban communities. While green infrastructure is being put to work in the City of Syracuse to address environmental issues associated with Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), the suburban program is targeted at projects aimed at reducing stormwater impacts on over burdened and aging sanitary sewer systems and pump stations. of the Save the Rain program into suburban towns and villages is great news for our community advancing truly innovative green infrastructure projects in Syracuse and I am excited to see so much interest in adopting those same strategies in suburban communities , was eligible to apply for funding from the expanded Save the Rain program; applications were due on March 30, 2012. The proposed green infrastructure projects were vetted by the Department of Water Environment Protection, which placed a priority on advancing projects that will ultimately benefit the county owned, as well as town and village, sewage collection systems through the reduction of stormwater infiltration into aging and often leaky sewage and pump station infrastructure.

Green infrastructure manages rainfall where it lands via the use of bio-retention swales, porous pavement, tree plantings, rain barrels, and green roofs; all of which are proven to be effective in mitigating sanitary sewer overflows and water pollution.

"Last year, the County Legislature took a bold step in approving an expansion of the Save the Rain program to include suburban communities. I would like to thank the County Executive and her team for advancing these projects to the Legislature for consideration and congratulate the candidates on their hard work in developing some very innovative and forward thinking green infrastructure projects. We look forward to reviewing and discussing the projects recommended by the County, and offering our support to those projects that meet or exceed the goals and objectives of the Save the Rain program," said Ryan McMahon, Chair of the Onondaga County Legislature "The Water Environment Protection Department is extremely excited by the opportunity to team with local municipalities to remedy existing inflow problems using green technologies. All the projects to be funded are sound investments in better sewer system management. We feel that when completed some of these projects will deserve national recognition as the very best in class, another example of the County Executive's leadership moving our whole commun Commissioner of the Department of Water Environment Protection. program, please visit www.SavetheRain.us.

The program site contains detailed project descriptions and factsheets on each project advanced over the past two years in the City of Syracuse as well as detailed information on the thirteen projects approved for the suburban green infrastructure program. ###

The projects selected to receive funding are: Town of Clay

Grove Road: $348,500 This project includes the installation of an infiltration trench along the side of Grove Road from Cherry Road to Bronson Road in the Westvale neighborhood. Perforated pipe will be installed in the infiltration trench along one side of the road, with catch basins at the intersections. This will capture stormwater runoff from the paved areas and the adjacent drainage area and help to mitigate recurrent flooding of Bronson Road.

Geddes Town Hall: $119,000 The Town of Geddes is replacing the conventionally paved Town Hall parking lot with porous pavement.

The porous pavement will collect stormwater from its surface area as well as runoff from the surrounding surface areas.

Town of Camillus

Porous Pavement, Rain Gardens, Rain Barrels, Tree Planting

$421,000

The project includes the use of several green infrastructure technologies. Porous pavement, rain gardens, rain barrels and tree planting in Shove Park will reduce stormwater runoff for impervious surfaces at the Park, reducing stormwater inflow and infiltration to the sanitary sewer system.
