SAVE THE RAINCLEAN THE LAKE

SUBURBAN GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT

WHAT:Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney’s Save the Rain concept is expanding tothe next level of implementation and success. Suburban green infrastructure programfunding, in the amount of $3,000,000, will be available from Onondaga County for theabatement of sewer system overflows.

WHY:The County is interested in working with the suburban communities in its sanitarysewer district to use green infrastructure to reduce inflow and infiltration into thesanitary sewer system. Green technologies such as bio-retention swales, porouspavements, tree plantings, rain barrels, and green roofs are all effective in themitigation of problems associated with managing wet weather sewer capacity andalso are typically much more beneficial to neighborhoods and communities than grayinfrastructure improvements.

WHERE:Green infrastructure projects in the following towns and villages will help to offsetthe costs associated with Onondaga County’s required compliance with the OnondagaLake Cleanup Amended Consent Judgment. Projects utilizing green infrastructure willbe considered from the following towns and villages:

Towns: Camillus, Cicero, Dewitt, Geddes, Lysander, Manlius, Onondaga, Pompey,and Salina.

Villages: Baldwinsville, Camillus, East Syracuse, Fayetteville, Liverpool, Manlius,North Syracuse, and Solvay.

WHEN:Project funding applications should be received by March 6, 2012. Onondaga County’sSave the Rain program is nationally recognized for its use of green infrastructureapproaches to mitigate the harmful impacts of sanitary sewer overflows. It isanticipated that this suburban green infrastructure program will be both highlysuccessful and most competitive. Municipal partners are encouraged to begindevelopment of their applications early to generate projects of the highest quality forthis exciting inter-municipal effort.

APPLICATION DETAILS:Applications must include a short narrative description of the proposed project, costestimates including the total project cost, and the proposed portion of the project tobe paid by the County’s Save the Rain Suburban Grant Program. The narrativedescription should also describe the proposed location of the improvements (e.g.streets, neighborhoods, and sewer service areas), the estimated potential infiltrationand inflow (I & I) capture by the project, and additional engineering or supportingmaterials available to better describe the benefits of the proposed project.

Applicants must also confirm their willingness to take full responsibility for themaintenance of the projects upon completion.

PROJECT AWARD INFORMATION, PROCESS, AND BASIS:The projects will be reviewed and considered based upon a number of criteriaincluding, but not limited to, total cost of the project; proposed share of Countyfunding; gallons of capture per year; wet weather I & I constraints and conditions inthe immediate sewer shed proposed to be improved by the projects; and mitigation ofpreviously identified wet weather conditions which impair the community’s health,environment, or economy due to sanitary sewer overflows.

All projects must be approved by the County Legislature after conceptual approval bythe County Executive and the County Department of Water Environment Protection.

SUBMITTAL DETAILS:A complete program description is available on the Save the Rain website(www.savetherain.us/green-projects) or from Paul Legnetto, Program Coordinator([email protected]), or Tom Rhoads, WEP Commissioner ([email protected]).

1. BackgroundOnondaga County’s Save the Rain Program and the Department of Water EnvironmentProtection (WEP) are sponsoring the Suburban Green Infrastructure Program (SGIP), agrant program to provide financial incentives for the installation of green infrastructureprojects. Projects must be located within the Onondaga County sanitary sewer district.This program will supplement the highly successful Save the Rain program investmentsalready underway in the City of Syracuse, with programming focused on projects outsidethe city to control stormwater runoff and inflow and infiltration into the sanitary sewersystem. Green infrastructure projects include, but are not limited to, bioswales, cisterns,green roofs, planter boxes, porous pavement, rain gardens, tree trenches, andunderground infiltration systems as an aspect of the development or redevelopmentand/or retrofitting of certain classes of municipally-owned properties in the OnondagaCounty sanitary sewer district outside the City of Syracuse city limits.

2. EligibilityAn eligible municipality within the Onondaga County sanitary sewer district proposing toundertake a project to reduce inflow and infiltration to the sanitary sewer system canapply for a SGIP grant. An “owner” is defined as any municipal entity that can provideevidence to Onondaga County of a fee-simple title to the public property to be improved--with the exception of potential rain barrel retention projects which may be utilized inconjunction with private property. All eligible projects must be on municipally-ownedproperty within the Onondaga County sewer system.

3. Eligible Project Reimbursement Costs for a SGIP GrantEligible reimbursement expenses include:

Design and engineering costs, as furnished by a New York State licensed designprofessional (architect, landscape architect, or professional engineer) for specificgreen infrastructure measures for the property

Labor and material construction costs to modify the site and install greeninfrastructure for the purpose of inflow and infiltration reduction that exceeds thethreshold stormwater capture requirements made applicable by state or localmunicipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) permit requirements.

All projects funded through this program shall comply with any and all environmentallaws and applicable permits. The owner applicant is responsible for obtaining allapplicable permits before construction. Onondaga County will review all plans andspecifications and verify that the proposed incorporation of green infrastructure willreduce stormwater runoff beyond what is required by state and local MS4 permitrequirements. This review is required before construction begins for the project toremain eligible for reimbursement. No funding is guaranteed prior to full review andapproval by the County, including approval by the Onondaga County Legislature.

4. Application ProcessThe SGIP application process will be administered in rounds of funding with the firstround of application submissions due by March 6, 2012. A project owner seeking SGIPfunds must complete a SGIP application form and submit all required documents,including the SGIP application checklist, to:

ATTN: SGIP Applicationc/o Paul LegnettoOnondaga County WEP7120 Henry Clay Blvd.Liverpool, NY 13088

5. Available FundingEligible applicants can receive up to 100 percent of the eligible costs associated with theimplementation of green infrastructure components for projects, with a minimum singleproject assistance of $50,000 and a maximum single project assistance of $500,000. Finalaward determination will be based on the amount of stormwater reduction (measured bygallons captured) achieved through implementation of the green infrastructure solutionand the inflow and infiltration conditions related to impaired wet-weather sewercapacity. The SGIP committee will review infiltration conditions related to impaired wet-weather sewer capacity. The SGIP committee will review the project scope and analyzethe amount of impervious area being managed through green infrastructure withestablished award levels based on the quantity of annual stormwater capture.

Applicants should strive to be as cost-effective as possible in the development of theproject. The SGIP committee will consider cost-effectiveness as a criterion indetermining grant awards; however, this will not be the only consideration (see selectioncriteria section for a full list of considerations). Grant funding will only cover costs forthe installation of green infrastructure solutions above and beyond traditional (non-green) construction practices, including design and engineering costs and constructioncosts.

All grants shall be on a reimbursement basis and awarded after the green infrastructurehas been installed and verified by WEP, proof of payments and expenditures has beenprovided, and all other requirements for funding have been met. Projects shall have aminimum total stormwater reduction of at least 100,000 gallons captured annually (basedon 39.5” of rainfall annually) through green infrastructure enhancements to be eligiblefor funding, and said stormwater reduction will reduce inflow and infiltration into theOnondaga County sanitary sewer system.

6. Selection Criteria for Green Infrastructure ProjectsOnondaga County will select projects that meet SGIP program goals based on selectioncriteria. Project decisions and the level of funding for selected SGIP projects rest solelywith the Onondaga County Department of Water Environment Protection. Uponconceptual approval by the department, each project must be specifically approved bythe Onondaga County Legislature.

of 11

Selection of grant recipients will be based on the following considerations: Completeness and accuracy of the application Location, extent, and/or size of the project Potential volume and effectiveness of runoff reduction Amount of surface area managed by green infrastructure Overall cost effectiveness of the project Location and visibility of the project for educational purposes Inclusion of an effective maintenance plan.

Recommendations on awards shall be made within ninety (90) calendar days of receipt ofa completed application. Time spent by WEP obtaining necessary application informationwill extend the approval process by the number of days information is outstanding. Greeninfrastructure portion of awarded projects must be constructed within 2 calendar yearsof signed contract date.

7. Construction and Monitoring RequirementsApplicants shall comply with all state and local laws. Grantees must allow WEP and itsrepresentatives access to the site to monitor volume capture pursuant to the life of thecontract between the County and SGIP project owner. The owner agrees to allow theCounty use of photos of the project in various stages of completion for promotionalpurposes and placement on the county website. The owner shall provide qualifiedinspection and professional certification for the installation of all green infrastructurecomponents.

8. Other Requirements for Receiving SGIP FundingA. Cost

Each applicant must complete and sign a detailed statement which outlines specificcosts of green infrastructure improvements. Projects that include additionalinfrastructure construction work beyond green infrastructure improvements shoulddemonstrate how the green infrastructure portion of the project relates to theoverall scope of work.

B. Inflow and Infiltration (I & I) Relationship to Sanitary SewerIn addition, the applicant shall provide a detailed contour/topographic drainage plandepicting the existing surface area tributary to the sewer system as it relates to theapplicant’s parcel and the inflow/infiltration identified. The applicant shall alsoprovide a proposed drainage plan (via conceptual diagram or map) indicating howmuch of the existing inflow and infiltration—once tributary to the sanitary sewer—will be removed and diverted to the proposed green infrastructure or pretreatedseparated discharge.

The drainage plan must include a description of ground cover characteristicsindicating impervious (non-porous) and pervious (porous) cover types. A calculationof total impervious cover type and pervious cover type removed from the sewersystem must be provided. If available, the proposed drainage plan should beprovided to WEP in digital format.

10. Green Infrastructure Technology Definitionsa. Rain Gardens are shallow surface depressions planted with specially selected native

vegetation to treat and capture stormwater runoff and are sometimes underlain bysand or a gravel storage/infiltration bed. A rain garden is a method of managingstormwater by pooling water within a planting area and then allowing the water toeither infiltrate into the surrounding soil or evapotranspire. In addition to managingrunoff volume and mitigating peak discharge rates, this process filters suspendedsolids and related pollutants from stormwater runoff.

b. Bioretention (also known as vegetated swales or bioswales) are area wide, shallowchannels with a dense stand of vegetation covering the side, slopes, and bottom.Bioretention swales can be natural or constructed and are designed to promoteinfiltration, reduce the flow velocity of stormwater runoff, and maximize the amountof time water spends in the swale, which also aids in trapping particulate pollutantsand silt. Bioretention swales are commonly used around parking lots.

c. Dry Wells, also referred to as seepage pits, are subsurface storage facilities (structuralchambers or excavated pits backfilled with a course aggregate or alternative storagemedia) that temporarily store and infiltrate stormwater runoff from rooftops. Due totheir size, dry wells are typically designed to handle stormwater runoff from smallerdrainage areas (less than one acre in size).

d. Underground Infiltration Systems generally consist of a rock storage (or alternative)bed below surfaces such as parking lots, lawns, and playfields for temporary storageand infiltration of stormwater runoff with a maximum drainage area of 10 acres.

of 11

e. Porous Pavement (also known as pervious paving or permeable pavement), is a termused to describe paving material and methods for driveways, parking lots, sidewalks,and pathways that allow stormwater runoff to infiltrate through the paving materialto the soil below. Porous paving materials available include: porous asphalt, porousconcrete, porous pavers or bricks, and other proprietary materials produced using astone aggregate and a binding product.

f. Tree Plantings are beneficial to stormwater management and may be eligibleelements of a project; this item is intended to include simple tree plantings – fromsmall container trees to larger bulbed and burlaped or even bare root trees.Applicants must identify caliper and species to allow evaluation for reimbursement.

g. Tree Trenches are designed to hold one or more trees and are built to capture andstore additional stormwater to keep runoff out of streets and sewers and providewater for the trees. They can be connected to a building downspout system or placedalong streets or between streets and sidewalks. Tree trenches may include amendedsoils, aggregate for storage and infiltration, perforated pipe for distribution, andgeotextile lining to enclose the trench and are more sophisticated than simple treeplantings.

h. Planter Boxes are deep planting boxes that receive roof runoff, releasing it to a stormdrain conveyance system, cistern, or infiltrating into groundwater. Tree planter boxescan be raised or flush with the surrounding landscape. Vegetation in the planterusually is comprised of perennials and/or small shrubs. Planter boxes are generallynot recommended for treatment of road or parking lot runoff.

i. Cistern Systems are large receptacles for holding stormwater runoff that areconnected to a storm drain collection system on a nearby building or structure.Rainwater can be stored in the cisterns and may be reused to water gardens andlawns. Cisterns may range in capacity from fifty gallons to thousands of gallons.

j. Added Green Space refers to the removal of existing impervious/paved areas andreplacing it with pervious/unpaved ground cover, allowing stormwater to infiltrate togroundwater rather than surface flowing into storm drains tied to the combined sewersystem.

l. Rain Barrels may also be used to hold stormwater runoff from residential dwellings.Rain barrel programs, managed through the oversight of the municipality, are the onlyprojects in the grant program that may be approved for private property.

11. Minimum Green Infrastructure Maintenance RequirementsAs part of acceptance of the SGIP grant, the grantee/owner will be responsible forproper maintenance of the green infrastructure installed. The grantee/owner will alsoagree to protect the effective operation and efficient function of green infrastructure so

GRAY PROJECTS UPDATE

Gray Projects Update

Progress of Projects Under Construction

Harbor Brook Interceptor Sewer (HBIS) Replacement and CSO Abatement Project (Construction Phase)No work was completed in January 2011 as the contractor was on a month-long shutdown. Work willcommence again in February. To date the project has installed 7,503 LF of new 18” to 36” interceptorsewer between Velasko Road and West Fayette Street on the west side of Syracuse. In addition, 5,222 LFof new local sewers was installed, ranging in size from 8” to 42” in diameter. The sewer installation is 99percent completed, and the project, overall, is approximately 92 percent complete. The project isanticipated to be completed by July 2012.

Midland CSO 044 Abatement Project (Construction Phase)Construction continued on the 96” CSO conveyance pipeline that will connect CSO 044 in South Avenueto the Midland RTF. In January the contractor continued to backfill the pipe trench and FlushingChamber A. All work, including restoration, is anticipated to be complete in June of 2012.

Clinton CSO Storage Facility Project (Construction Phase)In January the contractor continued construction activities associated with the storage facility that willcollect 6 million gallons of combined sewage from 8 downtown Syracuse CSOs during wet weatherevents. The contractor continued installation of the north side cut off wall, the slurry walls for the EastChamber, jet columns for the West Chamber, and the steel sheeting for the 84” overflow at the WestChamber. In addition, the removal of parking lot CSO utilities continued as well as the water hydrantinstallation within the lot.

Lower Harbor Brook CSO Conveyance Project (Construction Phase)The contractor completed the site clearing and grubbing and installation of the temporary constructionfencing. Construction of the pipelines will begin in February. The project will transit combined sewagefrom CSO 003 (Hiawatha Boulevard) and CSO 004 (State Fair Boulevard) to the new storage facility to beconstructed on State Fair Boulevard and from CSO 063 in the future.

Lower Harbor Brook CSO Storage Facility Project (Construction Phase)The contractor continued to mobilize equipment on site and submit shop drawings during the month ofJanuary. Construction activities will commence in February. The storage facility will store combinedsewage from CSOs 003, 004, and 063 during storm events and transmit the sewage after the storm toMetro via the HBIS.

CSO 022/045 Sewer Separation Project (Bid Phase)The general and plumbing contracts were executed in January and the Notice to Proceed was issued forboth contracts on January 23, 2012. Construction activities will commence in February. The project willprovide for the separation of sanitary and storm flow in CSO areas 022 (located in downtown Syracusenear West Genesee and Franklin streets) and 045 (located just west of South Avenue near OnondagaCreek. Once complete, the discharge of combined sewage from these two basins will be eliminated, andall sanitary sewage will be transmitted to Metro via the Main Interceptor Sewer (MIS).

FACT SHEETClinton CSO Storage Facility

Project Description: The Clinton CSO Storage Facility Project is a 6 million gallon combined seweroverflow storage facility that will be constructed in the parking area between the elevated rail tracksand Onondaga Creek just south of the Armory Square area of downtown Syracuse (formerly known asthe Trolley Lot). During wet weather events, the facility’s three, parallel 18-foot diameter, undergroundstorage tunnels will capture flow from 8 combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in the vicinity of the formerTrolley Lot. The wastewater will be stored in the tunnels until it can be conveyed via the maininterceptor sewer to the Syracuse Metropolitan Sewage Treatment Plant (Metro) for treatment. Theoff-site conveyance piping, which will transmit the flow to the facility, was installed under the ClintonCSO Phase 1 and 2A conveyances projects completed in 2009. There will be additional on-siteconveyance piping installed under this project to connect the existing sewers to the new facility. Inaddition 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 odorcontrol facilities

Green Components: To further enhance the sustainability of the facility, the project includes greeninfrastructure components. The stormwater runoff from the entire site that measures approximately275,000 square feet or 6.3 acres will be managed by green infrastructure. The stormwater from thearea surrounding the main structure on the western half of the site will be collected by a series of catchbasins and stormwater piping that will outfall into two bioretention basins. The bioretention basins willallow the stormwater to infiltrate into the ground rather than immediately runoff to the creek. Inaddition, 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 ofgrit and debris that may have settled or been left behind after the stored combined sewage wastransmitted to Metro. In addition, a green roof will be installed on the west building.

Construction Update: In January the contractor continued construction activities associated with thestorage facility that will collect 6 million gallons of combined sewage from 8 downtown Syracuse CSOsduring wet weather events. The contractor continued installation of the north side cut off wall, theslurry walls for the East Chamber, jet columns for the West Chamber, and the steel sheeting for the 84”overflow at the West Chamber. In addition, the removal of parking lot CSO utilities continued as well asthe water hydrant installation within the lot.

FACT SHEETCSO Area 022 and 045 SewerSeparation Project

Project Description: In 2000, the separations of 13 separate CSO basins were designed to the 95percent stage. The CSO areas represented basins whose full separation would be cost effectivecompared to other CSO abatement technologies. The remaining basins where the full separation hasnot been constructed were CSO areas 022 and 045. CSO area 022 is located in downtown Syracuseand the tributary sewers are located in North Franklin, West Genesee, and Willow streets. Theproposed work to be performed includes 2,000 linear feet (LF) of new sanitary sewer; 800 LF of sewerlining; and twenty (20) internal building separations. CSO Area 045 is located south of downtownSyracuse with the outfall at the intersection of West Castle Street, Hudson Street, and OnondagaCreek. The combined sewage tributary to this outfall is conveyed by combined sewers located inCrescent and Hudson streets. The proposed work to be performed includes: 700 LF of new stormsewer in Hudson and Crescent streets, 1200 LF of sewer lining to convert the existing combinedsewers in Crescent and Hudson streets to sanitary sewers, rehabilitation of the existing sanitarysewer 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 theproject through the implementation of Green Infrastructure as it related to the reconstruction of thePocket Park on the corner of West Genesee and North Clinton Streets. The park had fallen intodisrepair due to settlement issues and will be rehabilitated with green components under the CSO022 project.

Project Update: The general and plumbing contracts were executed in January and the Notice toProceed was issued for both contracts on January 23, 2012. Construction activities will commence inFebruary. The project will provide for the separation of sanitary and storm flow in CSO areas 022(located in downtown Syracuse near West Genesee and Franklin streets) and 045 (located just westof South Avenue near Onondaga Creek. Once complete, the discharge of combined sewage fromthese two basins will be eliminated, and all sanitary sewage will be transmitted to Metro via the MainInterceptor Sewer (MIS)..

FACT SHEETCSO 044 Conveyances Project

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

Green Components: In addition to the pipeline, the project will include the construction of a newregulator 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 on the 96” CSOconveyance pipeline that will connect CSO 044 in SouthAvenue to the Midland RTF. In January, the contractorcontinued to backfill the pipe trench and Flushing ChamberA. A partial certificate of substantial completion wasissued for the completed work in December 2011.

FACT SHEETHarbor Brook InterceptorSewer (HBIS) Replacementand CSO Abatement Project

Project Description: The HBIS Replacement Project provides for a much needed upgrade to the existingHarbor 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 fromCSOs 009, 010, 011, 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, and 018 for conveyance to Metro for treatment. The existinginterceptor is a U-shaped cast-in-place concrete pipe constructed in the 1920s and has fallen intodisrepair. Due to the shape and age of the HBIS, flow restrictions have developed which have decreasedcapacity 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, andrehabilitation or replacement of 2500 LF of Harbor Brook Culvert. In addition, during construction theavailable funding allowed CSO Areas 013 and 016 to be completely separated which will increase CSOcapture and eliminate two CSO discharge points. As a result, the capture projection for this project isanticipated to be 0.9 percent or 36 million gallons.

Green Components: In addition the County has successfully applied its “Greening the Gray” mission tothe HBIS Replacement Project. The GI components incorporated into this gray construction projectinclude the installation of approximately 40 enhanced tree basins with infiltration zones and theconstruction of a bioretention area that will manage stormwater runoff from an area of approximately3.2 acres. The enhanced tree basins will be located on Hartson, Herriman and Hoeffler Streets in theSkunk City area of Syracuse. The bioretention area will be located at the corner of Grand Avenue andDelaware Street and will contain a series of rain gardens and bioretention swales which will collect off-site runoff from impervious areas and manage the on-site stormwater as well. The site will have a “park-like” setting with an educational theme.

Construction Update: No work was completed in January 2011 as the contractor was on a month-longshutdown. Work will commence again in February. 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. Inaddition, 5,222 LF of new local sewers was installed, ranging in size from 8” to 42” in diameter. The sewerinstallation is 99 percent completed, and the project, overall, is approximately 92 percent complete. Theproject is anticipated to be completed by July 2012.

FACT SHEETLower Harbor Brook CSOStorage and ConveyancesProject

Project Description: The Lower Harbor Brook CSO Conveyances and Storage Facility Project is a 4.9million gallon combined sewer overflow storage facility that will be located on County owned propertyon State Fair Boulevard between Hiawatha Blvd. and West Genesee Street in the City of Syracuse. Thefacility will capture and store the overflows from CSOs 003, 004 and 063 for up to the 1-year, 2-hourdesign storm event. After the storm event subsides, the contents of the storage tank will be pumped tothe 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 StateFair Blvd., Hiawatha Blvd., and Erie Blvd. to convey combined sewage from the overflow regulators tothe storage tanks during rainfall and snowmelt events. Floatables and grit removal will be included inthis facility. Odor control provisions will be incorporated into the facility design and the tank will becompletely enclosed.

Green Components: To further enhance the sustainability of the facility, the project includes greeninfrastructure components. The stormwater runoff from the rooftops of the storage tank and controlsbuilding will be stored within the CSO storage tank and used for a second and third cleaning flush of thetank. This water will ultimately be treated at Metro eliminating the need for this stormwater to betreated on-site. The stormwater storage is designed to capture the 100-year storm (5.2 inches) from thetank and the control building rooftop.

Project Update: For the Lower Harbor Brook Conveyances, the contractor completed the site clearingand grubbing and installation of the temporary construction fencing. Construction of the pipelines willbegin in February. The project will transit combined sewage from CSO 003 (Hiawatha Boulevard) andCSO 004 (State Fair Boulevard) to the new storage facility to be constructed on State Fair Boulevard andfrom CSO 063 in the future.

On the Lower Harbor Brook Storage Facility, the contractor continued to mobilize equipment on siteand submit shop drawings during the month of January. Construction activities will commence inFebruary. The storage facility will store combined sewage from CSOs 003, 004, and 063 during stormevents and transmit the sewage after the storm to Metro via the HBIS.

GREEN PROJECTS UPDATE

Green Projects UpdateThe 2011 construction season laid a great foundation for 2012. With 60 projects advanced last year, wenow focus our attention to the upcoming 2012 season.

Planning efforts for 2012 project implementation is well underway. Several projects identified in 2011that did not progress to the construction phase will be the first wave of projects in 2012. For example,the Atrium Garage Stormwater Cistern project will be one of the first projects this year. The cistern hasbeen ordered and is expected to be installed in February. The Onondaga County Public Library projects(at Beauchamp, Hazard, Mundy, Petit, and White branch libraries) are also included in the first group for2012. Design changes on these projects will be finalized in early February and they are scheduled to bebid shortly thereafter.

Additionally, several signature projects have been planned for 2012 including: extensive greeninfrastructure renovations at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo; major collaboration with the City of SyracuseParks Department at several locations throughout the City; and implementation of the I-690 DownspoutDisconnection Program which recently received a $472,000 grant from New York State.

2012 will also include the continuation of important green infrastructure programs such as the GreenImprovement Fund for private property owners; continued collaboration with the City of Syracuse onpublic property, and the introduction of the Save the Rain Suburban Green Infrastructure Program thatwill offer up to $3 million dollars in funding for municipal green infrastructure projects in areas outsidethe City of Syracuse.

We hope to build off the great success of 2011 and look forward to continued success in 2012.

Project Description: The Atrium Garage is a pilotStormwater Cistern Project, which is the first of itskind to be constructed as part of the Save the Rainprogram. Phase 1 of this pilot project will reducerunoff by 38,400 gallons per year, by interceptingstormwater from one of the drain inlets on the topfloor of the Atrium Garage parking deck. Thesuitability of the design will be monitored afterinstallation so that future cistern projects can beoptimized for performance.

The parking deck is drained via multiple inlets onthe top floor, which are conveyed by 4-inchdiameter roof drains to a discharge pipe in theground floor slab and out to the combined sewersystem. By intercepting one of these 4-inch roofdrains on the ground floor with a cistern tank, thedischarge opening is reduced via a 1-inch diameteropening that allows the runoff to collect in the tankand slowly discharge into the combined sewersystem after the rain has subsided.

The proposed 500-gallon polyethylene cistern tankwill feature a bypass system that will allow normalflow from the roof drain when the tank iscompletely filled. The tank is sized to fit within avacant area of the parking deck so that no existingparking spaces will be lost.

As of January 2012, the cistern has been ordered. Itwill be installed in the Atrium Garage during themonth of February 2012.

After a long haul of a move across the United States (Oregon to New York),I’m finally feeling settled in. I landed with a thud in Syracuse, and begangrasping for some sort of botanical outlet. What I found might surprise thosenot in Syracuse, and for that matter maybe some that reside here. Syracuseis one of ten cities that the EPA has named as a model city for greeninfrastructure. Now the Oncenter, where the local hockey and indoor soccergames are played is home to one of the largest greenroofs in Central NewYork, and Syracuse plans to build many more of them. On top of that, thecity and Onondaga County are installing rain gardens throughout the city aswell! How exciting was this to discover!

Although it isn’t as wonderful as it seems. It would be great if these types ofprojects could be implemented to prevent pollution from beginning, but notin this case. I’m sorry to say but probably not in any case, we are a cultureof destroy first and fix later. In Syracuse their “Save the Rain” project hasbeen jump started because the city, and Onondaga Lake were so pollutedthe community through a nonprofit organization, Atlantic States LegalFoundation, sued Onondaga County in 1988. After, there was plans to buildseveral sewage plants around the city, one in the heart of their downtown.Then a savior came, County Executive Joanie Mahoney, who halted theplans of the sewage plants, and instead had a better idea. She wanted todo things a different way, one that might not destroy a city, but possiblymake it grow. Now Save the Rain is getting national recognition and hasmade Syracuse a forerunner in green infrastructure.

I had previously liked the Onondaga County Save the Rain project onfacebook, (you should too), and was notified of a public forum at the localzoo. Since I was having a hard time digging through the internet forinformation, I decided to head over and meet some people. It was aninformative and invigorating two hours. All at once access to moreinformation than I had after days of online searching, was at my fingertips. Ialso had the opportunity to talk and ask questions to many knowledgablefolks.

From that night on, everywhere I go in Syracuse I notice a little here andanother there of the work that is being done throughout the city. On mydaily outing with my dog, Carrol, we walk through the James PassArboretum, which is currently a work in progress of two rain gardens. As Idrive to my house I pass a newly renovated parking lot on Fayette street,and I just discovered today that my neighborhood library is in the process ofreceiving a greenroof makeover, if it wasn’t cool enough already?!

A great start in the Botanical/Environmental search of my new home;Syracuse, New York.

Since then, renovations at the Atrium and the Clinton Street garages promise safe parkingspaces at all hours. Angled parking along Erie Boulevard near Clinton Square adds morespaces to the mix.

New urbanism exhorts developers to hide parking lots behind visually appealingstreetscapes. Environmental designers recommend porous pavement to prevent runoff, agood idea adopted by Onondaga County’s “Save the Rain” initiative.

He cites aBrooklyn firm’s plan to turn a “dead mall” lot in Dutchess County into a laboratory forentrepreneurs and service providers.

Kimmelman wants cities to abandon minimum-parking-space requirements for builders. Hewarns of the “Pensacola Parking Syndrome,” named for the Florida city that kept tearingdown old buildings for parking lots — until visitors stopped coming because the urban spacewas no longer inviting.

Freeze parking spaces like Boston has, Kimmelman advises. Make people pay more to park.Make cities more walkable.

All interesting, provocative ideas. Syracuse’s Maxwell, too, worries about prioritizing carsover pedestrians. “Everyone is a pedestrian at some point of their journey,” he notes.“There needs to be a bit of a change in our paradigm so that people come first, cars comesecond.”

Opinion today: There's more to Onondaga Lakethan pollution

Published: Tuesday, January 10, 2012, 12:05 AM; Updated: Tuesday, January 10, 2012, 12:38 PMBy The Post-Standard

Tracking commentary andopinion from around CentralNew York, the state and nation.

Tuesday's Topic:

Patrick Coyne, of Syracuse,writes about the positivefeatures of Onondaga Lake inthe Readers' Page of today'sPost-Standard. Here is hisletter:

I am one of the most activebeneficiaries of what OnondagaLake has to offer. I am on thelake or in the park at least oncea week throughout the year.Based on my time out there,

three very unique and very positive features stand out.

The park: My guess is that there is not another major metropolitan area in the country thathas a public park surrounding a full-size natural lake. I especially like early spring and latefall, when a variety of migratory birds can be seen. I have also taken a liking to flying mybig kites in the park when the winds are right.

The waste beds: They have in effect become a forever-wild area, and with the completion ofthe creekwalk trail, you have what could be a designated forever wild area within bikingdistance of Syracuse University, the forestry school and downtown. From downtown, theride’s all flat, and you won’t even break a sweat to see osprey, bald eagles, deer and fox.This is incredibly unique!

The lake itself: The fishing is phenomenal, and because of the clarity and the largepopulations of fish, I am seriously considering putting a glass bottom in my canoe. The lakeis like a wild aquarium.

I may be the only person anyone has seen on the lake in the winter. Again, somethingunique to Onondaga Lake is that there are no snowmobiles on it in the winter. This hasallowed me some very peaceful enjoyment and some interesting recreation. Because


snowmobiles are not disturbing the surface, you end up with some very smooth ice andsnow conditions. Three years ago, I was able to ice skate around the entire lake. It was analmost surreal experience. My son and I regularly reach speeds of 40 to 50 mph on snowskis while flying our big kites on the ice. No snowmobile access makes such activitypossible.

There is one negative thing that continues to pollute our perceptions of Onondaga Lake: thephrase “one of the most polluted lakes in the world.” This often-quoted old claim to fame, Iam sure, continues to do damage to our community and our economy. In conversationsabout the lake, when I feel the urge to repeat that nasty old phrase, I substitute “the jewelof Syracuse.”

There really needs to be a positive feeling about the lake for our community to benefit fromall the good work that’s being done, and that old phrase does not instill any warm, fuzzyfeelings. So can I suggest, when given the opportunity, try substituting a sparkly wordinstead. It will make you a better educator and a better promoter of what Onondaga Lake isand has to offer.

Patrick Coyne was among about 150 people who attended a Nov. 29 community forum onthe Onondaga Lake cleanup. He distributed this statement at the event.


Parking Places: Make them an integral part of theurban landscape

Published: Thursday, January 12, 2012, 2:00 AMBy The Post-Standard Editorial Board

Asked to name “one thing youdislike about downtown” back in2008, the most frequentresponse from Syracuse-arearesidents by far was “parking.”Suburbanites in particular aren’tused to parking a block or morefrom their destination — andpaying for it. It doesn’t help tofind a ticket on the windshield.Then there’s the feeling in thedense urban network that therearen’t enough parking spaces.

That last perception seems off-base. A city master plan in 2004reported 39 percent ofdowntown property is devotedto parking. It counted 22,000off-street parking spaces. Astudy commissioned by theSyracuse IndustrialDevelopment Agency in 2008 tallied an additional 1,616 on-street parking spaces, notingthat 3,000 spaces a day remain unused at peak hours.

“Our philosophy is that there is not a shortage of parking downtown,” says Andrew Maxwell,Syracuse’s director of sustainability and planning. “It’s a perception issue.”

Soon after taking office in 2008, Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney observed:“People in Syracuse think that if you can’t pull in front of a restaurant and park for free,right there, there is a parking problem.” That expectation is a recipe for urban disaster,according to the social critic Lewis Mumford, who wrote half a century ago: “The right tohave access to every building in the city by private motorcar ... is the right to destroy thecity.”

In 2006, an Onondaga Citizens League study called for a vigorous municipal effort tocoordinate parking and establish design standards. “If people perceive there is a shortage,then that perception becomes the problem and must be addressed,” the study said.


Since then, renovations at the Atrium and the Clinton Street garages promise safe parkingspaces at all hours. Angled parking along Erie Boulevard near Clinton Square adds morespaces to the mix.

New urbanism exhorts developers to hide parking lots behind visually appealingstreetscapes. Environmental designers recommend porous pavement to prevent runoff, agood idea adopted by Onondaga County’s “Save the Rain” initiative.

PBS documentary takes a look at Syracuse

Published: Monday, January 30, 2012, 8:42 AM; Updated: Monday, January 30, 2012, 9:19 AM

By James T. Mulder / The Post-Standard

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse will be profiled in a four-week television documentary series thatwill air on WCNY at 8 p.m. each Sunday in February.

The documentary, “Designing Healthy Communities,” looks at how Syracuse and othercommunities nationwide are trying to redesign themselves to address public health issuessuch as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, depression, violence and social inequities.

A film crew that made the documentary visited Syracuse in 2010.

Syracuse is mentioned at various points in the series, but is featured most prominently inthe second episode scheduled to air Feb. 12. That episode includes interviews with SyracuseMayor Stephanie Miner, Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney, Onondaga triballeader Oren Lyons, community residents, economic development leaders, medical studentsand medical professionals. The episode also looks at Syracuse streets and highways,community development projects, local food systems and Onondaga and Skaneateles lakes.

The series is hosted by Dr. Richard Jackson, chair and professor of environmental publichealth at UCLA’s School of Public Health.

The documentary’s producers, Harry Wiland and Dale Bell of the Media Policy Center, cameto Syracuse after being contacted by Kathy Goldfarb-Findling, former executive director ofthe Gifford Foundation. The foundation had screened one of the duo’s otherdocumentaries, “Philadelphia: The Holy Experiment,” as part of a film series.

Funding for the Syracuse segment of the documentary was provided by Gifford, SyracuseUniversity, the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, Alliance Bank, CenterState CEO, CommunityHealth Foundation of Western and Central New York, Franciscan Management Services Inc.,Hueber-Breuer, National Grid, St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center Foundation, United StatesGreen Business Council and Upstate Medical University.
