3.1. Alley Creek CSO

The Alley Creek CSO Facilities Planning area consists of the drainage area of CSO Outfall TI-008, which discharges into Alley Creek at a location just south of Northern Boulevard on thewest bank of Alley Creek. Little Neck Bay and Alley Creek receive discharges from 31stormwater outfalls, as well as CSO Outfall TI-008; however, discharges from CSO Outfall TI-008 were determined to be the primary cause of water quality degradation within Alley Creek.CSO Outfall TI-008 serves a drainage area of approximately 1,975 acres within the TallmanIsland Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) service area in the Borough of Queens. The AlleyCreek Drainage Area Improvements/CSO Abatement Facilities Project, which has beendesignated as Phase I of the comprehensive Alley Creek CSO Abatement Facilities Plan, is beingconstructed in two stages:

1. Alley Creek Drainage Area Improvements (Stage 1, Contract ER-AC1) and,

2. Alley Creek CSO Abatement Facilities (Stage 2, Contract ER-AC2)

This section reports on the progress of Phase I, Stages 1 and 2 of the Alley Creek CSOAbatement Facilities Plan.

Phase I, Stage 1 (Contract ER-AC1) includes the construction of additional stormwater sewersand combined sewers, a double-barrel outfall sewer, an outfall structure, and a 5 million gallonCSO storage facility to substantially eliminate street flooding and sewer surcharging; and toabate CSO discharges into Alley Creek within the CSO Outfall TI-008 drainage area.

Phase I, Stage 2 (Contract ER-AC2) includes activation of the 5 MG CSO storage facility andupgrading the Old Douglaston Pumping Station to enhance the station’s reliability to pump thecaptured combined sewage to the interceptor system for conveyance to the Tallman IslandWPCP for treatment.

Work Performed During This Quarter

Missed Milestones

A written notice of a “force majeure” event was submitted to DEC on September 24,2004. This event has affected compliance with the Construction Completion milestonedate of December 2004 for the Flushing Bay CS4-4 (Mechanical Structures) in the Order.

On September 8, 2004, rainfall at LaGuardia Airport was recorded by the NationalWeather Service at three inches in a three hour time period. This torrential rain eventcaused flooding in the basement of the Flushing Bay facility due to a breach in atemporary construction bulkhead in the influent sewer line to the facility. Water levelsreached seven to eight feet above the basement floor at the CSO facility which causeddamage to various mechanical, HVAC and electrical equipment.

3.6. Jamaica Tributaries CSO

The Jamaica Tributaries project area includes the Jamaica WPCP sewershed area and thetributaries, which receive the wet weather discharges from the drainage area. These tributariesinclude Bergen, Thurston, Shellbank, and Hawtree Basins, which are located in the northeastportion of Jamaica Bay. There are several recommendations that are being advanced in thisfacility plan which include:

Meadowmere & Warnerville DWO Abatement – Construction of a new pumping station,force main, and sanitary sewer collection system in southeast Queens, NY, to conveyflows from the communities of Meadowmere and Warnerville into the Jamaica drainagearea collection system, for treatment at the Jamaica WPCP. This project will eliminatethe dry weather discharge that is currently occurring in these two communities, which arenot connected to NYC’s collection system.

Expansion of Wet Weather Capacity of Jamaica WPCP – An additional 50 mgd of wetweather flow will be treated at the Jamaica WPCP to reduce the CSO discharges toBergen Basin. Recent analyses indicate that this element has limited water qualitybenefits. Alternative actions are currently being analyzed in the waterbody/ watershedplan and will be submitted to DEC for discussion and review.

Destratification Facility – Installation of a permanent diffused-air bubble mixing systemat Shellbank Basin. The system is designed to eliminate temperature stratification duringthe summer season, which leads to poor water quality conditions in the basin, odors andmarine life kills. This element currently has an operating pilot facility, which hasproduced positive water and air quality results for the past 7 summer seasons.

Laurelton and Springfield Blvd. Drainage Plan – A drainage plan for 7,000 acres insoutheast Queens is being developed to address flooding and to construct high-levelstorm sewers in a 1,450 acre CSO drainage area tributary to Thurston Basin. Thedrainage plan identifies the necessary capital sewer projects to alleviate flooding andconvert the aforementioned CSO area to a high-level storm sewer system.

Regulator Automation – Automation of key regulators was recommended in response tothe 1988 State Pollution Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit requirementsthat called for telemetry in the regulators to detect dry weather overflows. It wasrecommended at those regulators contributing the largest flows to the treatment plants,specifically Regulators 2, 3, and 14 in the Jamaica WPCP drainage area. The CitywideCollection Facilities Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System Projectwill automate key regulators in the City by installing electro-hydraulic actuators capableof controlling flows to the sewer interceptor.

3.8. Newtown Creek CSO

The Newtown Creek CSO Facility Planning area consists of the areas in Brooklyn and Queensfrom which wet weather runoff drains to the Newtown Creek waterbody and its branches:English Kills, Dutch Kills, Whale Creek, Maspeth Creek and the East Branch. For this CSOplanning area, the Waterbody/Watershed Facility Plan currently under development will analyzecost effective CSO control measures for this waterbody and potentially propose modifications tothe scope of the existing CSO facilities plan, as permitted in the Order in Section III, ParagraphA, Section 3.

This section reports on the progress of facility planning and design of the existing CSO plan,subject to modifications by the Waterbody/Watershed Facility Plan, and includes 1) maximizingflow through the Morgan Avenue Interceptor, 2) the construction of instream aeration facilities(Zone I & II) and 3) the construction of an off-line storage tank.

Maximizing flow through the Morgan Avenue Interceptor will include raising the overflow weirin Regulator B1; increasing the sluice gate openings to the interceptor; providing a relief sewerfrom the St. Nicholas weir to Regulator B1; and providing a throttling gate on the Kent AvenueInterceptor. The Aeration Facilities (Zone I) includes construction of a landside compressorstation and installation of an air header in the creek bottom of the Upper English Kills. Basedupon the performance evaluation of the Zone I aeration testing, Zone II aeration may beimplemented to expand instream aeration to include the Lower English Kills, the East Branchand Dutch Kills. The off-line storage facility will control CSO discharge to the English Kills andwill include a 9 million gallon tank, a pumping station, and a new gravity drain to drain the tankfor treatment at the Newtown Creek WPCP.


Planning

The Bureau of Environmental Planning and Assessment (BEPA) continued their reviewof the revised CSO Storage Facility Environmental Assessment Statement (EAS), the AirModeling Report and the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) and Health and Safety Plan(HASP) for the remedial work related to the CSO Storage Facility.

A meeting was held with the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services(DCAS) to discuss and review the Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP) asrelated to the CSO Storage Facility.

Design

The NYSDEC Joint Permit has expired and a new permit application was submitted tothe NYSDEC. Although previously approved, the DEC has revised its review and hasdetermined that the apparent bulkhead is actually a relieving platform and therefore theland beneath the platform is considered wetlands. As a result, the DEC replied to thepermit application with a Notice of Incomplete Application (NOIA). A response to theNOIA was prepared was submitted to the DEC on July 18, 2006. The State then issued asecond NOIA and a response was prepared and submitted August 25, 2006, with arevised response going to the State September 7, 2006.

3.9. Westchester Creek CSO

The Westchester Creek CSO Facilities Planning area consists of the drainage area of CSOOutfall HP-014, which discharges at the head end of the Creek. Westchester Creek receivesdischarges from five CSO outfalls; however, discharges from CSO Outfall HP-014 weredetermined to be the primary cause of water quality degradation in the Creek. CSO OutfallHP-014 serves a drainage area of approximately 2,321 acres within the Hunts Point WPCPservice area in the Borough of the Bronx. For this CSO planning area, the Waterbody/ WatershedFacility Plan currently under development will analyze cost effective CSO control measures forthis waterbody and potentially propose modifications to the scope of the existing CSO facilitiesplan, as permitted in the Order in Section III, Paragraph A, Section 3.

The current Westchester Creek CSO Abatement Facilities Plan, subject to modifications by theWaterbody/Watershed Facility Plan recommendations, will be constructed in two phases withPhase I consisting of the facilities to divert the combined sewage to the CSO storage tank, aswell as rehabilitation of an existing tide gate chamber, and Phase II consisting of the CSOstorage tank. In addition to the facilities required for abatement at CSO Outfall HP-014, the DEPhas agreed to provide, as part of the project, amenities for use by the Bronxchester and Van NestLittle Leagues that utilize the baseball fields adjacent to the site of the proposed CSO storagetank on the Bronx Psychiatric Center (BPC) Campus. These amenities consist of restroomfacilities, a clubhouse facility, a parking lot to be located on top of the CSO storage tank, andfencing to separate the Little League facilities from the BPC Campus facilities and the DEPfacilities. This section reports on the progress of the Little League restroom facilities, andPhases I and II of the Westchester Creek CSO Abatement Facilities Plan.

The Little League restroom facilities will be constructed under a separate contract referred to asthe Site Preparation Contract in advance of the Phase I contract. Phase I includes construction ofthe diversion chamber in Eastchester Road, construction of the 2 MG CSO supply/storageconduit along Waters Place between the diversion chamber and the 10 MG CSO storage tank,and rehabilitation of the existing tide gate chamber located at CSO Outfall HP-014. Phase IIincludes construction of the 10 MG CSO storage tank in the southwest section of the BPCCampus, including an operations building to house operational units, construction of the LittleLeague clubhouse facility and parking lot, and installation of the required fencing at the site.


Planning

Negotiations continued between New York City Department of City-WideAdministrative Services (DCAS) and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York(DASNY) regarding acquisition of the site at the BPC Campus by the DEP for the CSOstorage tank.

The Department is procuring services for a surveyor to prepare a metes and boundsdescription of a permanent easement along the access road into the BPC Campus fromWaters Place. This easement, which will be from DASNY to the DEP, is needed to serve

3.10. Bronx River CSO

The modified CSO facilities plan for the Bronx River recommends that floatables controlfacilities be provided at CSO Outfalls HP-004, HP-007 and HP-009, within the Hunts PointWPCP drainage area, to minimize the discharge of unsightly floatable material. This modifiedplan eliminated the previously proposed 4 MG CSO storage facility due to limited benefits in theimprovement of water quality in the Bronx River.

For CSO Outfall HP-004, which is located on the west bank of the Bronx River just north of theCross Bronx Expressway and serves a drainage area of approximately 582 acres, therecommended floatables control facility consists of providing in-line netting within a newconduit located upstream of the outfall along West Farms Road. For CSO Outfall HP-007, whichis located on the east bank of the Bronx River just north of the Sheridan Expressway and serves adrainage area of approximately 1,693 acres, the recommended floatables control facility consistsof providing “COPA” screens within Regulators 27 and 27A located upstream of the outfall. ForCSO Outfall HP-009, which is located on the east bank of the Bronx River near the confluencewith the East River and serves a drainage area of approximately 436 acres, the recommendedfloatables control facility consists of providing in-line netting within Regulator 13, locatedwithin Soundview Park upstream of the outfall.


Planning

The draft ULURP Application for the floatables control facilities remained under reviewby the DEP.

Preparation of the draft EAS for the floatables control facilities continued.

The Hutchinson River CSO Facilities Planning area consists of the drainage areas of CSOOutfalls HP-023 and HP-024 in the Hunts Point WPCP drainage area. The Hutchinson Riverreceives discharges from five CSO outfalls; however, discharges from CSO Outfalls HP-023 andHP-024 were determined to be the primary cause of water quality degradation in the River. CSOOutfall HP-023, which is located on the west bank of the Hutchinson River near the southern endof Conner Street, serves a drainage area of approximately 300 acres. CSO Outfall HP-024,which is located on the west bank of the Hutchinson River near the intersection of Boston Roadand 233rd Street, serves a drainage area of approximately 1,100 acres. For this CSO planningarea, the Waterbody/Watershed Facility Plan currently under development will analyze costeffective CSO control measures for this waterbody and potentially propose modifications to thescope of the existing CSO facilities plan, as permitted in the Order in Section III, Paragraph A,Section 3.

The current Hutchinson River CSO Abatement Facilities Plan, subject to modifications by theWaterbody/Watershed Facility Plan, will be constructed in two phases with Phase I consisting ofa 4 MG CSO storage tank to provide abatement at CSO Outfall HP-023 and Phase II a 3 MGCSO storage tank to provide abatement at CSO Outfall HP-024. This section reports on theprogress of Phases I and II of the Hutchinson River CSO Abatement Facilities Plan.

Phase I includes construction of a southern 4 MG CSO storage tank to be located adjacent to theHutchinson River wholly within the boundary limits of Public Place Site, which is land near thesouthern end of Conner Street currently controlled by the DPR. Phase II includes construction ofa northern 3 MG CSO storage tank to be located adjacent to the Hutchinson River alongHutchinson Avenue on land currently owned by Pascap Export, Inc.

3.13. Citywide Comprehensive Floatables Plan


The Pilot Floatables Monitoring Program commenced in April 2006 upon receipt ofNYSDEC approval of the December 2005 Floatables Plan report, which contained thepilot program workplan. Several ongoing program setup tasks, such as creating a photolibrary to select standard rating photographs, monitoring protocols, and monitoring sitereconnaissance, were started during the spring and summer. Monitoring activities havealso been initiated.

On July 27, 2006, DEP and NYSDEC staff held a conference call to discuss basic pilotprogram progress and inclusion of a public participation component in the program.During that call, it was agreed that the DEP would develop a method to include the publicin monitoring activities by starting off on a very small scale and building to a larger scaleonce program details had been developed. DEP also agreed to include information aboutthe pilot floatables monitoring program as part of the CSO Quarterly Report beginningwith the fourth quarter of 2006.

Overall, the pilot floatables monitoring program has progressed, albeit slower thananticipated, but activities are expected to increase in intensity over the course of the fallin an effort to meet the milestones presented in the Floatables Plan report.
