GRAY PROJECTS UPDATE

Gray Project Update

Clinton CSO Storage Facility Project (Construction Phase) The contractor continued construction activities associated with the storage facility that will collect combined sewage from 8 downtown Syracuse CSOs during wet weather events. From July through September, the contractor completed the east and west chamber shotcrete, 36” west chamber conveyance, and the installation of the east chamber water main. The contractor also continued site work including stormwater drainage structures and grading, and construction on the east and west chamber above grade buildings including masonry, miscellaneous metals, electrical and plumbing items. In addition, the contractor began work on the 96” conveyance to the east chamber and the overflow to Onondaga Creek.

The Clinton CSO Storage Facility is expected to be operational by the end of December 2013, in accordance with the Amended Consent Judgment milestone. A portion of the east end of the parking lot from the Armory Square tunnel to Dickerson Street will be open to the public. Final pavement and site restoration work will continue into 2014.

Lower Harbor Brook CSO Storage Facility Project (Construction Phase) In July, August and September, the contractor completed excavation and diaphragm walls installation for the storage tank which will store combined sewage from the three CSOs (003, 004 & 063) during storm events.

The concrete base for the 4.9 million gallon storage facility was poured on August 5, 2013. This 1,800 cubic-yard concrete placement was among the largest locally and across the United States to be completed without an onsite concrete batch plant. 3 concrete plants, 40 concrete trucks, and 3 concrete pumps came together for a very successful concrete pour!

In addition, the contractor continued work on the utility building, the perimeter trench within the tank and the new outfall structure. Construction also began on the 84” and 24” pipe installations and the electrical components in the utility building.

The utility building, the storage tank, and the “greening the gray” green infrastructure components of this project are expected to be completed this year. The Lower Harbor Brook facility is expected to be operational by the end of December 2013, in accordance with the Amended Consent Judgment milestone.

Clinton CSO Storage Onondaga County Trolley Lot, Syracuse Clinton/Lower MIS Storage Facility 6 million gallons 114 million gal/yr 9 12/ 31/13 $75,420,843 7/14/11 Jett Industries

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 9 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: From July through September, the contractor completed the east and west chamber shotcrete, 36” west chamber conveyance, and the installation of the east chamber water main. The contractor also continued site work such as stormwater drainage structures and grading, as well as construction on the east and west chamber buildings including masonry, miscellaneous metals, electrical, and plumbing items. Additionally, the contractor began work on the 96” conveyance to the east chamber and the overflow to Onondaga Creek.

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.

GREEN PROJECTS UPDATE

Green Project Update

Construction on an extensive network of green infrastructure projects at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo has been completed. The Zoo campus now features a total of five green infrastructure projects, the most recent of which are wetlands at the water fowl exhibits and green improvements to the parking lot.

The innovative wetland system, completed in September, captures and re-circulates stormwater throughout the waterfowl areas. This system reduces the need for the zoo to use potable water in these exhibits and the recirculation reduces the frequency of maintenance for the zoo. The zoo parking lot project includes bioretention (rain garden) areas and porous asphalt sections in the parking lot. Combined with the various green projects installed in and around the zoo from 2010-2012, stormwater runoff has been reduced by over 6 million gallons annually.

Construction is wrapping up this quarter on the Harbor Brook Treatment Wetland pilot project in the Skunk City neighborhood of Syracuse. Construction of three types of wetland cells, enhanced landscaping, and an underground grit and floatables facility has been finalized.

Wetland plantings are becoming established and punch list items are being addressed. Once complete, the treatment wetland will be the first of its kind in the country.

Two major streetscape projects are nearly complete. Construction continues on the West Onondaga Street Gateway Project between South Ave and Seymour Ave. Additionally, the Westcott Street Porous Pavement Project has entered its final phase of construction.

Both streetscape projects are on schedule to be completed later this fall.

Construction recently commenced on two Save the Rain projects that received funding from the New York State Green Innovation Grant Program (GIGP). The Washington Street road reconstruction project is currently underway. Work is in progress on the I-690 Downspout Disconnection Pilot Project to construct green infrastructure to capture runoff from downspouts of the highway at selected locations along the I-690 corridor.

Project Description: This project was a collaborative effort between Save the Rain and the City of Syracuse Parks Department. It provides improved basketball courts and a new parking lot while helping to reduce 558,000 gallons of runoff from entering the combined sewer system annually.

A prominent feature of the enhancements made to Lewis Park is a new basketball court made of porous asphalt.

This allows stormwater to infiltrate directly through the asphalt surface, eliminating ponding and making the court playable immediately after a rain storm. Runoff is collected from Lewis Street to the north, Milton Ave. to the east, walkways within the park, and the court itself. This was the third basketball court completed in conjunction with Courts4Kids, an initiative of the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation and the Carmelo K. Anthony Foundation.

Conceptual Green Infrastructure Design and Drainage Areas

Another green infrastructure component of this project was the replacement of the parking area with porous pavers to help collect runoff from structures and walkways within the park as well as from Lewis Street along the north side of the park.

Project Description: The Richmond Avenue Road Reconstruction Project exemplifies the continued partnership between the City of Syracuse and Onondaga County through the Save the Rain Program.

The City of Syracuse had planned to reconstruct Richmond Avenue in 2013 and Onondaga County partnered with the City to construct an underground infiltration trench system at the time of the road reconstruction. This project was constructed by the City’s Contractor under the annual Street Structures contract, providing further cost savings for both the City and the County.

Underground Infiltration Trench during A three and a half foot deep underground infiltration installation on Richmond Avenue trench spanning the length of Richmond Ave. between N. Geddes and Van Rensselaer streets was constructed in the summer of 2013. The trench is split into two sections – one five feet wide and the other seven feet wide – to utilize as much storage space as possible without disrupting existing underground utilities. Being completely underground, the infiltration trench system provides a high capture volume without requiring any obtrusive footprint at the surface. This project captures a total of 1,029,000 gallons of stormwater annually.

FACT SHEET Rosamond Gifford Zoo Parking Lots Project Description: The Rosamond Gifford Zoo Parking Lot Project contributes significantly to the CSO reduction efforts of Onondaga County’s Save the Rain Program. The parking lots have previously experienced a tremendous amount of runoff, which will now be alleviated by the implementation of several new green infrastructure components. The technologies incorporated in this project are sections of porous pavement within the parking lots and multiple large underground infiltration beds.

Working in combination with bioretention areas vegetated with native plants, the green infrastructure technologies now located in the parking lot at the zoo will capture approximately 3.77 million gallons of stormwater annually, making it one of the largest Save the Rain projects to date.

This project is the 5th of 5 planned green infrastructure projects at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. The first project included a cistern and a section of porous pavement installed in the Courtyard along with a rain garden adjacent to the primate exhibit in 2010. The second was a green roof installed on the new elephant barn in 2011. The third project was a series of rain gardens at the zoo entrance on Wilbur Ave. adjacent to Conservation Place constructed during 2011-2012. Construction of a stormwater wetland and recirculation system, as well as a stormwater cistern at the bear exhibit was completed in September of 2013 – the fourth project at the zoo. Together, these 5 projects capture over 6 million gallons of stormwater annually.

Project Description: The Rosamond Gifford Zoo Stormwater Wetland and Cistern project was the fourth Save the Rain project completed at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo since 2010. Other projects at the Zoo include: porous pavement in the courtyard, a green roof on the new elephant barn, installation of rain gardens at Conservation Place and Wilbur Avenue, and the installation of porous pavement and a tree trench in the parking lots.

A new stormwater wetland was installed adjacent to the penguin exhibit. An open stream bed was constructed to allow water to flow from the stormwater wetland into the swan and duck ponds. Once the flow reaches the duck pond, it is pumped back to the stormwater wetland. This recirculation system greatly reduces the use of potable water at the Zoo, while simplifying and reducing the frequency of maintenance within the duck pond.

A stormwater cistern was also constructed near the bear exhibit. The cistern receives stormwater from the exhibit and adjacent pathways. The water in the cistern is then pumped into the exhibit into a newly constructed stream bed between two existing ponds. The stormwater flows continuously within the circulation system, again reducing potable water usage.

In total, approximately 1,154,000 gallons of stormwater are captured annually by this project.

The NYSDEC Division of Water issued "water-bodies with blue-green algae notices" for several regional lakes during the summer of 2013. These include Cazenovia Lake, Honeoye Lake, Oneida Lake, and Oneida River. 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. Large blooms, even non-toxic ones, affect ecosystem health. Algae blooms most frequently occur in nutrientrich waters, particularly during hot, calm weather. Blue-green algae blooms can alter lake ecosystems by reducing oxygen levels, preventing the growth of beneficial algae, and producing toxins that are directly harmful to fish and other organisms. There is a statewide effort to combat the toxic blue-green algae and has stepped up efforts to look for the toxin and educate the public about the dangers of bluegreen algae. Based on the available 2013 Onondaga Lake date and consistent with conditions in recent years, these noxious blooms were not observed on Onondaga Lake during the summer of 2013, indicative of the improved water quality conditions in the lake.

Onondaga Lake Tiger Muskellunge (Tiger Muskie) Tiger muskies are one of three members of the pike family found in Onondaga Lake. The other two are chain pickerel and northern pike. The tiger muskie is a sterile cross between northern pike and muskellunge produced artificially in hatcheries and stocked in lakes to help control less desirable species such as carp and gizzard shad and to provide a trophy fishery for anglers. The tiger muskie is renowned as a sport fish because of its fast growth rate that can exceed 50 inches. Tiger muskie are sterile hybrids, so do not normally reproduce. Being a sterile fish, their numbers can be controlled directly by regulating stocking and harvest. In 2011, 9000 young tiger muskies were stocked in Onondaga Lake and again in 2013. It is hoped that enough will survive to adulthood providing additional angling opportunities.

The improvements in the water quality of Onondaga Lake have allowed the production of aquatic vegetation to increase. Aquatic plants provide spawning and nursery habitat for fish, as well as food and cover to a variety of other aquatic animals. Fish that were once rare in Onondaga Lake such as tiger muskie have become more common in the lake.

'Save the Rain' project to cause traffic pattern changes for several months

Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - The "Save the Rain" initiative is expanding with the beginning of two major projects designed to capture more than six million gallons of rain water.

The Westcott and West Onondaga green corridor projects are an effort to cut down on pollution in Onondaga Lake and to beautify the areas with landscaping that includes trees, planters and infiltration trenches.

The projects have created traffic pattern changes that are currently in effect. They include: Westcott Street between Dell Street and Concord Place will be affected for several months. Detours are available to reroute traffic to several side streets including: 

Dell Street between Westcott Street and Columbus Avenue



South Beech Street between Westcott Street and Trinity Place



Victoria Place between Westcott Street and Allen Street



Harvard Place between Westcott Street and Cambridge Street

West Onondaga Street is also affected between South Avenue and Shonnard Street.

Slocum Avenue between West Onondaga Street and Holland Street is also affected.

Syracuse streets to partially close for Save The Rain work

By Tim Knauss | tknauss@syracuse.com on July 01, 2013 at 1:09 PM

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Traffic through the Westcott Street business district and on portions of West Onondaga Street and Slocum Avenue will be disrupted this summer by Save the Rain projects aimed at capturing stormwater and beautifying the neighborhoods, Onondaga County officials said today.

Starting today, there will be alternating lane closures on the portion of Westcott Street between Dell Street and Concord Place. Detours will be available on several side streets to help motorists avoid the obstruction.

Also beginning today, alternating lane closures on West Onondaga Street will slow traffic between South Avenue and Shonnard Street.

Also, Slocum Avenue also will be affected between West Onondaga Street and Holland Street.

Traffic will slow as a result of the lane closures, but motorists will be able to get through to businesses on the affected blocks, officials said.

Construction on each street is expected to last "several months'' while crews plant trees, install planters and landscaping, dig infiltration trenches and install porous asphalt, officials said. The improvements will capture 6 million gallons of rain water annually, preventing it from overwhelming sewers and polluting Onondaga Lake and its tributaries.

County Executive Joanie Mahoney said the temporary inconvenience will pay off with aesthetic improvements, too.

"When these projects are completed, they will not only help us reach our goal of keeping combined sewage overflow out of Onondaga Lake, but will also beautify and enhance the neighborhoods, adding to the quality of life in both areas," Mahoney said. "I also want to thank the residents of the neighborhoods for the valuable input they provided, which we incorporated into the planning for the projects." http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/07/syracuse_streets_to_close_for.html

New York State Agriculture Commissioner Darrel J. Aubertine today announced that the Great New York State Fair will play host to a major exhibit that will show New Yorkers how coordinated remediation efforts between state and local partners at Onondaga Lake is changing the region and providing for future economic vitality. The exhibit, called “Onondaga Lake: A Fresh Gateway to a New New York,” has been developed over many months by a host of state and local organizations. The exhibit will occupy more than 3,000 square feet of space, occupying an entire wing of the Center of Progress Building.

“Onondaga Lake is undergoing a tremendous transformation thanks to the dedication of committed organizations and important public-private partnerships,” Commissioner Aubertine said. “At this year’s State Fair, this new exhibit will tell a tremendous story of the lake’s earliest days, its darkest hours and most importantly, its resurrection. I can’t wait to see this major attraction in person and urge every New York resident to visit the Fair this year to learn about this ‘Gateway to a New New York.’”

The exhibit will take visitors on the lake’s long journey from its ancient role as the home of the Iroquois people, through the massive remediation effort underway on the lake now, to the developments on its shoreline such as Destiny USA and the upcoming Inner Harbor project.

Fairgoers will be able to see the fish species that are returning to the lake as it improves. They’ll discover that the return of the fish has helped to bring back the Bald Eagle to the area and, if they’ve spotted an eagle recently, they can contribute to a project that will map the places it has been spotted.

The exhibit, which will be assembled in the final days before the Fair opens, will also show how the work being done on Onondaga Lake is tied to economic growth far beyond the lakeshore, while highlighting the state’s scores of economic investments through all 10 of the Regional Economic Development Councils that formed the heart of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s strategy for reinvesting in New York.

The organizations involved in creating this exhibit, besides the State Fair, which is part of the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, are: The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation; the Empire State Development Corp.; the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry; Morrisville State College; Onondaga County and its Save The Rain initiative; Honeywell; O’Brien & Gere Engineering; Destiny USA; COR Development; CenterState CEO; Audubon New York; Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology; and the Onondaga Historical Association.

NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens said, "Onondaga Lake water quality continues to improve as cleanup projects are completed, which is also having a positive effect on the lake's fishery, bird habitat and recreational opportunities. Central New York is now experiencing remarkable environmental and economical benefits as a result of the lake cleanup efforts and we are continuing to make strides to restore the lake as a valued natural resource in the region."

Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Kenneth Adams said, “Onondaga Lake and the Syracuse Inner Harbor have great history and an even brighter future. The Inner Harbor redevelopment is transforming the Onondaga Lake waterfront into an area that will help to revitalize the Syracuse economy by creating thousands of new jobs for New Yorkers, generating hundreds of millions in investment, and attracting new businesses and tourists. We are thrilled to be part of this exhibit as there is no better place than the Great New York State Fair to put on display our collaborative efforts to clean up Onondaga Lake and turn the Inner Harbor into an economic staple of Central New York.”

Cornelius B. Murphy, Jr., President of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry said, “The students and faculty of SUNY ESF have been studying the Onondaga Lake Ecosystem for nearly three decades. The future of the lake and its watershed is bright, with stabilization of the waste beds, increased diversity of aquatic and shoreline plants, fishes and many kinds of invertebrates such as crayfish and dragonflies. Dissolved oxygen levels in the lake have increased, ammonia levels are low, and aquatic vegetation now covers 80% of the shallow water zone. Shoreline trails, enhanced marina facilities, and reduced toxic materials are all part of a remarkable recovery. The positive interaction of the many stakeholders and contributors has been phenomenal, and all have worked together tirelessly to restore this local and national treasure.”

Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney said, “We are proud of the dramatic change seen in Onondaga Lake.

Our Save the Rain program is providing real results and has become a national model. Thank you to Governor Cuomo for choosing to highlight our compelling story at the New York State Fair. It will be an excellent showcase. Onondaga County’s residents have invested heavily in the restoration of Onondaga Lake and I know they will be proud to see what we have already accomplished.”

Robert Simpson, president of CenterState CEO and co-chair of the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council said, "The cleanup of Onondaga Lake has brought together an unprecedented team of scientists, engineers, and specialists to address a fundamental environmental need for the community. The solutions and advancements that these partners have developed not only serve the immediate environmental needs of the lake and restore this significant natural asset, but provide new economic opportunity, whether through ecotourism, recreation, or by serving as a model for implementing green technologies in other markets."

John McAuliffe, Honeywell Syracuse program director, said, “The progress that has been made is due in large measure to the talent, creativity, and dedication of so many who reside and work in this community – from the regulators and elected officials to the academic, environmental, nonprofit and business communities to our partners and workers. At the end of this year, dredging is expected to be about halfway complete. We will continue working together to fulfill the public’s vision for Onondaga Lake and return it to the community as a healthy, sustainable asset for future generations.”

Chris Nyberg, Dean of SUNY Morrisville's School of Agriculture, Sustainability, Business and Entrepreneurship said, “Morrisville State College and O’Brien & Gere, two innovative leaders in Central New York, embarked on an aquaponics project, a form of polyculture combining hydroponics with aquaculture in a system that allows the plants and fish to benefit each other. This all takes place on our campus in a controlled environment agriculture greenhouse (CEA), which is a closed-loop system for year-round food production. As a leader in agriculture and green initiatives within the SUNY system, we support efforts to stimulate economic growth while maintaining the integrity and sustainability of food sources, water, and soil. Morrisville State College’s display is an interactive exhibit of CEA systems that can scale from small home gardens, suitable even for urban locations, to large scale commercial greenhouses. Through the support of Senator David J. Valesky (D-Oneida), the Empire State Development Corporation and a grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA), Morrisville State College’s CEA greenhouse project reduces costs and environmental impact while providing local, healthy, nutritious and environmentally sustainable food.”

Destiny USA’s David Aitken said, “Destiny USA is a proud partner in the Onondaga lakefront development as an economic generator alongside The Great New York State Fair. Thirty years ago, the Syracuse community viewed

environmental disaster and lake destruction surrounding Onondaga Lake. Pyramid took great strides in cleaning up the land surrounding the lakefront and building a tourist attraction to help draw visitors from around the world. This exhibit displays the partnership and strength of Syracuse community hubs that have transformed the Syracuse lakefront and made it a tourism and economic hotspot. As the largest shopping destination in New York State, Destiny USA is honored to stand beside these exhibit partners in helping to display the dynamic, new and fresh developments taking place on Onondaga Lake.”

Steve Aiello, President of COR Development, LLC said, "Work at the Inner Harbor is underway. COR Development is transforming 28 acres around the Syracuse Inner Harbor into a unique urban mixed-use waterfront community.

The project represents over $350 million dollars of construction costs and will be phased over 7 years creating over 4,000 permanent jobs and 8,000 construction jobs. COR is pleased to participate in this collaborative exhibit and share the combined vision of the State of New York, City of Syracuse and COR Development working in concert to reshape the future of the Harbor and Onondaga Lake for many years to come."

Jim Fox, Chairman and CEO, O’Brien & Gere, said, "With more than 500 employees throughout New York State, O’Brien & Gere has been a part of the Central New York community for 68 years and a part of the Onondaga Lake restoration team for more than 50 years. Along with many of our local partners, we are pleased to play a role in this exhibit, which will help educate participants on the progress that has been made to date and the great plans for the future."

Erin Crotty, Executive Director of Audubon New York said, “Onondaga Lake has a storied past and a bright future, and we commend Governor Cuomo and all the partners for developing this unique display to educate visitors on Lake’s importance and ongoing restoration efforts. Recently, Audubon selected Onondaga as a priority Important Bird Area to focus our efforts to improve the area’s habitat for birds. Bird watching is the fastest growing outdoor recreational activity and contributes billions annually to the State’s tourism economy. The continued restoration of the Lake will make the area more attractive to ecotourism, and we look forward to working with all partners to make this restoration a success.”

Gregg Tripoli, Executive Director of the Onondaga Historical Association said, “Centuries ago, our Native American ancestors created the first representative democracy in the west on the shores of Onondaga Lake with the establishment of the Great Law of Peace. Since then the Lake has meant many things to many people. In our recent history, it has, unfortunately, become known as the most polluted lake in the nation. But, thanks to the organizations represented in this powerful exhibit, the Lake is, once again, becoming a place of hope, renewal, resilience, and pride that represent the heritage of our community, our state, and our country. Nothing demonstrates that more than the return to its environs of our country’s great symbol, the bald eagle. Onondaga Lake is the perfect example of how we can learn from the lessons of our past to forge a brighter future together.”

Larry Leatherman, President of the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology said, “The Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology continues to create awareness of the history, importance, and future potential of Onondaga Lake through hands-on exhibits at the museum, educational outreach activities, and field trip opportunities for numerous students encompassing the lake and its tributaries. We are pleased to assist in the development of this exciting attraction at this years’ New York State Fair.”

The New York State Fair runs from August 22 – September 2, 2013. The Fair’s theme is “Sharing the Bounty and Pride of New York.”

In addition to the annual New York State Fair, the Fairgrounds host dozens of agricultural events throughout the year, including some of the Northeast’s most prestigious horse and livestock shows.

The home of the Great New York State Fair is a 375-acre exhibit and entertainment complex that operates all year.

Syracuse streets to partially close for Save The Rain work

By Kevin Tampone | ktampone@syracuse.com on July 28, 2013 at 6:00 AM

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The Save the Rain project that began on Westcott Street several weeks ago is hitting businesses in the neighborhood hard.

The work, scheduled to last several months, will add wider sidewalks, new tree plantings, porous asphalt and other features. Save the Rain is a collection of Onondaga County projects meant to reduce stormwater runoff into Onondaga Lake.

The work on Westcott will cut runoff by nearly 1.2 million gallons a year and cost $852,000.

At the moment, the project has reduced Westcott Street to a one-way road in a stretch through the neighborhood's main business district. Construction fencing is up along the sidewalk by Beer Belly Deli & Pub, Alto Cinco and others.

http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/07/save_the_rain_work_on_westcott_street_dampens_business_in_the_neighborhood.html

Sales are down about a third at Beer Belly Deli, said Brandon Roe, co-owner. The pub saw a dip in May after Syracuse University students left for the summer, but an even steeper drop followed when the street work began.

"We went from doing a couple thousand dollars a day to a couple hundred," Roe said.

Alto Cinco lost some of its popular outdoor seating due to the work. The restaurant still has a few tables on some nights near the Westcott Theater, but the atmosphere isn't the same, said Noah Hausknecht, a delivery driver.

Hausknecht said he's lost two shifts thanks to the drop in business at Alto Cinco.

"This is just absolutely hideous," he said. "Some people drive by and they may think the entire street's closed."

Businesses on Westcott are doing their best to let customers know they're open. They've posted signs along the construction fencing and are reaching out to patrons on social media.

Even businesses on the opposite side of the street from the work have been affected. Boom Babies, located across from Beer Belly, has seen less foot traffic since the project began, said Nancy Howell, a sales associate.

"A lot of people are avoiding the street," she said. "It is much quieter."

The work will eventually move across Westcott to the Boom Babies side.

The most disruptive portion of the work will be complete by November, said Matt Millea, deputy Onondaga County executive for physical services. The city will handle paving at some point in 2014, but that work should only take a few days.

Work on the project will pause for the Westcott Street Cultural Fair in September, Millea added.

He said he understands the frustration of business owners. The county held at least seven public meetings on the project in the months leading up to the work.

Officials met again with business owners Wednesday.

"We're going to do everything we can to mitigate the impact," Millea said. "We'll just keep the lines of communication open."

The tree plantings and sidewalk improvements will ultimately benefit the neighborhood, said Syracuse Common Councilor Khalid Bey, chairman of the council's economic development committee.

"It will be wonderful when it's done," he said. "Sometimes you have to bear pain in order to make progress."

He will speak about improvements to the quality of Onondaga Lake, details about the program and how people can participate. Reith will give away seed packets and raffle off a rain barrel. People should register by calling the library at 685-5135.

Save the Rain is a program that aims to reduce sewer overflows and lake pollution by capturing storm water runoff with rain gardens, porous pavement, vegetation-covered roofs and other green infrastructure.

Reith spent 27 years as a news reporter, anchor and talk show host at WSYR radio and a year hosting a television program on WCNY.

New signs make the point: Westcott Street businesses are open

By Don Cazentre | dcazentre@syracuse.com on August 06, 2013 at 3:36 PM

In case you missed it: New signs are popping up along the Westcott Street business district, alerting passersby that the businesses in the area are still open despite the major construction project tearing the area apart,.

The new signs are hard to miss. They're a bright shade of blue, which offers a perfect contrast to the mostly orange and white construction barriers.

One banner, hanging across the barrier blocking the south end of the business district, reads "Westcott Street is OPEN for Business." The word open is underlined and all caps. http://blog.syracuse.com/cny/2013/08/new_signs_make_the_point_westcott_street_businesses_are_open.html

The signs are the latest response to the disruptions caused by Onondaga County's Save the Rain work in the area. The work, scheduled to last several months, will add wider sidewalks, new tree plantings, porous asphalt and other features. Save the Rain is a collection of Onondaga County projects meant to reduce stormwater runoff into Onondaga Lake.

The work on Westcott is expected to cut runoff by nearly 1.2 million gallons a year and cost $852,000.

Since the work began, some business owners have noticed a significant drop in customers.

The street is only open in one southbound lane, and construction fencing is placed along the west side of the business area, from Beech Street to Dell Street.

Some of the new signs, placed on the chain-link fencing, identify each business. There is space to walk through the fencing to the businesses.

SKANEATELES | Besides introducing the countywide program Save the Rain, Public Information Officer Jim Reith spoke about changes homeowners can make to help the initiative improve the efficiency of the waste water system.

"One way to do that is to keep that storm water out of the system in the first place," he said.

Onondaga County launched Save the Rain to reduce how much storm water enters the water treatment system in response to a lawsuit that forced the county to address its overflow, the amount of undertreated water that gets released in the event of a storm or other system overwhelming condition. The county built storage tanks to http://auburnpub.com/skaneateles/lifestyles/program-aims-to-collect-rain-in-more-natural-ways-to/article_696cbb5620db-53b0-a1ba-4caded72170d.html

hold water that can't be treated at the time to await when the network can handle that water, but that's only part of the solution.

Reith listed several projects the program tackled, such as adding rain collection systems to area buildings, installing rain gardens featuring native plants to absorb runoff, and putting down permeable pavement. The OnCenter Convention Center has one of the biggest green roofs east of the Mississippi River, Reith added.

"This is returning us to a more natural way of dealing with rain," he said.

Syracuse has a combined sewer and storm water system, which could lead to too much water flooding the network in the event of a major storm, thus targeting the overflow process. Since separating the two is not cost effective, local officials decided the way to reduce the amount of water in the system is to prevent water from making its way into it.

While many of the projects are targeted for Syracuse, Reith said the effort should reach throughout the entire county. He added that homeowners can use rain barrels to collect water from gutters and create concave trenches for plants to absorb rain. Another small change people can make to keep the system as efficient as possible is to stop flushing wipes and grease down the drain, he said. Wipes don't break up in water like bath tissue, and grease captures bits of material that goes down the drain and causes clogs.

He added that through trial and error, the program found what porous pavement and plants for a rain garden to use for the best results.

The program has also tackled creative solutions among its 120 completed projects, such as creating a wetland at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo and the War Memorial collected rain to make ice with for the Crunch.

"It's going to take a community effort," he said, "but it's definitely worth it in the end."

Syracuse reopens closed lane on Westcott Street

By Dave Tobin | dtobin@syracuse.com on August 17, 2013 at 4:27 PM, updated August 17, 2013 at 4:50 PM

The first phase of the Save the Rain road project that had shut down Westcott Street's business district to one-way traffic for about a month is done.

The street reopened Saturday to traffic going both ways, good news for businesses that had suffered because of limited traffic and parking, and for the upcoming Westcott Cultural Fair, scheduled for Sept. 15.

Save the Rain is a collection of Onondaga County projects meant to reduce stormwater runoff into Onondaga Lake. The work on Westcott will cut runoff by nearly 1.2 million gallons a year and cost $852,000.

When completed the project will add wider sidewalks, new tree plantings and porous asphalt, among other street features.

This Saturday, September 7th Save the Rain presents the 2013 Clean Water Fair. This event presents something we all take for granted–water–and reveals the innovative thinking, green solutions, and around-the-clock efforts to sustain our most important natural resource. As Americans with access to clean running water we never have to think twice when we turn on the sink, take a shower or (yes, this too) flush the toilet. Apparently this all happens magically but this event will reveal the truth and in doing so, teach us to value the amazing things occurring behind the scenes along with the clean water itself. It’s a free educational event that seems to be quite popular each year. I say give it a shot!

http://syracuseguru.com/local-events-2/save-the-rain-clean-water-fair-2013/

Don’t know much about Save the Rain? Well, that’s where I come in. Save the Rain is an Onondaga County initiative aimed at cleaning up Onondaga Lake. More specifically it is a “comprehensive stormwater management plan intended to reduce pollution” in Onondaga Lake. It works to reduce or eliminate damage done by combined sewer overflow (CSO), which occurs during storms that overload the system. CSO creates runoff that enters local tributaries resulting in further pollution. Save the Rain aims to creatively–and through green innovation–solve this problem. Back in 2011 Save the Rain went into action and in the same year Onondaga County became the national leader in the implementation of green tech and other projects. Who knew?

The Clean Water Fair is very cool because it lets the average citizen take a look at some of the ways local government is fighting for the environment. That’s why I think this is so important. Until you experience these things, how else would you come to appreciate something so vital?

At this event you’ll get an update and related info on Save the Rain while learning about Onondaga Lake’s recovery and viewing the area’s wildlife. There’s a green infrastructure project tour (10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.) that will show you selections from over 100 green projects implemented so far. You’ll see demonstrations of the various types of equipment used to improve water quality, see new clean water projects, learn about career opportunities in the field, join in a rain barrel raffle, and even attend a rain barrel workshop (10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.) where you’ll learn how these rain collection tools work. I’m not a big science guy but this still sounds pretty interesting to me.

So make a stop at Save the Rain’s Clean Water Fair!

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The fifth annual Save the Rain Clean Water Fair was held on Saturday at the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant in Syracuse.

The event gave people the chance to tour the plant and learn more about Save the Rain. The program works to reduce local water pollution.

The fair also featured several educational displays for both children and adults. The program currently has 120 projects

underway.

"We've been recognized as one of the ten leadership communities nationwide, we were also lucky enough to win the U.S. water prize last year, so we're really right out there in front of the leadership, and we continue to put everything on our website, savetherain.us," said Tom Rhoads, Onondaga County Water Environment Protection Commissioner.

People were even able to learn how to make and maintain their own rain barrels to help the cause.

Trevor Welty caught this 28-inch tiger muskie in Onondaga Lake at Long Branch Park.

He used a spinnerbait. The fish was released after the picture was taken.

Veteran bass angler Mike Cusano, of Clay, sent me this photo and following story: "Took a long-time college friend of mine, Andy Hunter and his son, Will Hunter from Camillus, out for a quick,4-hour trip to Onondaga Lake.

"Weather was perfect and both anglers landed a half dozen bass each.

"Andy's bass was a really nice fish and was the largest he has ever caught. Fish came on BPS Stik-O worms fished weightless around isolated weed clumps. Will did a fantastic job casting and putting the bait in the higher percentage strike zones.

"For the outing we landed approximately 25 largemouth with the average fish being a bit better than 2 ½ lbs. Our best five bass would have been a solid 16 to 17 pound bag.

"The smiles tell the story!" http://blog.syracuse.com/outdoors/2013/09/onondaga_lake_angler_catches_n.html
