Results of Ottawa River Results of Ottawa River LTCP meetingLTCP meeting• Like idea of flow reduction/rerouting. Understand difficulty of managing the program.
• Like “green solutions,” but understand that they are typically just an enhancement.
• Reducing – better yet, eliminating – overflows to the river is important.
• Concerned that some untreated overflows may still occur with some of the options.

Results of Ottawa River Results of Ottawa River LTCP meeting continuedLTCP meeting continued• Some confusion that the construction projects at
Bay View won’t take care of problem.
• Do not like the idea of using Joe E. Brown Park.
• Like the idea of using old Jeep plant, old Chevy plant in Ottawa River area.

Maumee River/ Swan Creek Maumee River/ Swan Creek AlternativesAlternatives
• Maumee River/ Swan Creek CSO control alternatives are under development
• Alternative concepts will be presented to the public for initial input on January 24 and February 10, respectively
• Today’s presentation is a partial preview of the information to be presented to the public
![Page 7: CPAC Meeting 1-10-05](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e89bdd8b42abd468b54f9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Assistance neededAssistance needed
• The project team is evaluating alternatives from a regulatory, technical and cost perspective.
• We need input on • Items of concern that are identified by the CPAC –
particularly items of neighborhood concern

Type of AlternativesType of Alternatives
• Alternative selection is a combination of performance and suitability considerations. There are a number of types of alternatives.
![Page 12: CPAC Meeting 1-10-05](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e89bdd8b42abd468b54f9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CSO Control OptionsCSO Control Options
• There are three basic control options• Storage (holds excess flow until capacity is
available)• Treatment (cleans flow before it is discharged –
disinfects and removes pollutants)• Separation (provides new sanitary or storm
sewers so that combined sewers are eliminated)• Flow reduction/ rerouting can enhance the
above options
![Page 13: CPAC Meeting 1-10-05](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e89bdd8b42abd468b54f9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Storage / Treatment Basic Storage / Treatment Basic InformationInformation
• Type of facilities: either concrete tanks or tunnels
• Type of treatment: screening (minimum), potentially disinfection
• Land area required: 3 – 10 acres• Typical siting locations: waterfront property,
parks, other vacant parcels near rivers• Other requirements: some sewer work to bring
flow to the site
![Page 14: CPAC Meeting 1-10-05](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e89bdd8b42abd468b54f9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Storage/ Treatment Storage/ Treatment Facilities Pros and ConsFacilities Pros and Cons
• Pros• Most work is limited to one location and the
adjacent areas are not disturbed• Water is either stored (small storms) or partially
treated (large storms)
• Cons• Treatment generally requires construction of a
relatively large building.• Construction activities are generally 2 – 3 years in
duration limiting the use of sites during that period.
![Page 16: CPAC Meeting 1-10-05](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e89bdd8b42abd468b54f9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Treatment FacilitiesTreatment Facilities

Sewer Separation BasicsSewer Separation Basics
• Constructs a new sewer to separate flow
• Generally requires 3 – 6 months to complete work on a street; 1 – 2 years to complete work in an area
• Generally doesn’t involve land acquisition
![Page 18: CPAC Meeting 1-10-05](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e89bdd8b42abd468b54f9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sewer Separation Pros and Sewer Separation Pros and ConsCons
• Pros• Upgrades the sewer system
• Eliminates CSO discharges
• Doesn’t require property
• Cons• May increase total load of pollutants to the
waterways• Disruptive to individual property owner

Flow Reduction / Rerouting Flow Reduction / Rerouting Pros and ConsPros and Cons
• Pros• Addresses problem at the source
• Could be considered best environmentally
• Could reduce basement or surface flooding
• Cons• Generally not adequate to solve the entire
problem• Most disruptive to individual property owner• Administratively intensive program

EPA CriteriaEPA Criteria
• The EPA’s primary concern in other CSO Plans around the country is the frequency at which CSOs discharge
• EPA generally wants to see control of bacteria
• Other items of concern to EPA• Volume of discharge• Pollutants in discharge• Measureable impacts on waterways

Siting Issues/ ConcernsSiting Issues/ Concerns
• Consider• Areas of open space (sites), reasonably close to
outfalls• Current use of existing sites & associated impacts
due to construction or long term use• Ownership of sites• “Fatal flaws” such as environmental or geotechnical
issues• Opportunities for secondary benefit – e.g.
brownfield reuse, coordination with other projects
![Page 27: CPAC Meeting 1-10-05](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/555e89bdd8b42abd468b54f9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Potential SitesPotential Sites
• Potential sites• Potential sites have been identified based on location
of open space• Currently evaluating the feasibility of these sites• No decisions have been made about the use or non
use of any site

Evaluations Are ContinuingEvaluations Are Continuing
• Additional cost development and comparison to benefits
• Better definition of potential sites and discussions with property owners/ operators
• Development of tunnel storage option
• More technical evaluations (will support cost assessment)
