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 June, 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 completed the excavation of the 84” conveyance to thefinal elevation and installed the 3rd and final tier of struts associated with the support of excavation.The west chamber and the tunnel/box culvert (from Station 0+00 to 5+50) were excavated to tier #2.The east chamber draw down was also completed in June.

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: Construction and restoration activities in CSO area 045 were completed in June and areawaiting a final walkthrough to determine punch list items. In CSO Area 022, all sewer work within WestGenesee Street from curb to curb was completed and the street was restored to grade. Final sidewalkrestoration and top course paving will occur later in the summer. The new sanitary sewer was installed inNorth Franklin Street between West Willow and Herald Place. The plumbing contractor, Joy ProcessMechanical (JPM), continued their interior and exterior plumbing modifications completing internal andexternal piping for 2 properties. Once complete, the discharge of combined sewage from CSOs 022 and045 will be eliminated and all sanitary sewage will be transmitted to Metro via the Main InterceptorSewer (MIS).

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: In June, the contractor continued work on the Delaware/Grand Rain Garden andBioretention Area and this segment of the project is approximately 60% complete. To date the projecthas installed 7,503 LF of new 18” to 36” interceptor sewer between Velasko Road and West FayetteStreet on the west side of Syracuse. In addition, 5,222 LF of new local sewers were installed, ranging insize from 8” to 42” in diameter. The sewer installation is 100% completed and the project overall isapproximately 98% complete. The project is anticipated to be completed by July 2012.

FACT SHEETLower Harbor BrookCSO Storage andConveyances Project

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 controlbuilding 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: Conveyances - In June, Construction continued on the conveyance sewers from CSO003 and 004 that will transmit combined sewage during wet weather events to the new storage tank.The contractor completed backfilling of new 48” conveyance sewer installed between manholes HW-4and HW-5 in Hiawatha Boulevard; and completed installation support of excavation, piles, and pile capbetween manhole HW-1 and Station 4+71.

Storage - In June, the contractor completed the installation of the 60” diameter pipeline and backfilledto the surface. Jet grouting activities for the storage tank continued in June as well. The storage facilitywill store combined sewage from the three CSOs (003, 004 & 063) during storm events, and transmit thesewage after the storm to Metro via the HBIS.

Onondaga St.Sewershed: Harbor BrookGI Technology: Bioretention, Urban ForestryCapture Area: 8,000 sq. ft.Run-off Reduction: 120,000 gal/yrYear Constructed: 2012Construction Cost: $91,000 (Engineer’s Estimate)Bid Date: 7/12/12Prime Contractor: TBD

Project Description: The Vacant Lot Initiativeinvolves a vision for converting City and Countyowned vacant lots into usable spaces for publicbenefit. This conversion can be done whilecapturing stormwater at the same time. TheVacant Lot Project at 1344-50 West OnondagaStreet involves the installation of an urbanforest and rain garden. These features serve tobeautify the lot while also capturing stormwaterrunoff from West Onondaga Street. Theproject captures runoff from approximately4,000 square feet of the impervious roadwayand an additional 4,000 square feet of thevacant lot itself.

After capturing the runoff, the rain gardenallows it to infiltrate as it would in a naturalenvironment. A variety of shrubs and floweringperennials will be planted in the rain garden,and seven new trees will be planted on the lotincluding attractive, flowering species such asEastern Redbud and Flowering Dogwood.Because this site is naturally hilly, the new treeplantings and grass groundcover will also serveto prevent erosion and loss of topsoil from thesite.

This green infrastructure project is designed tocapture up to 1” of rainfall at a given time,reducing annual stormwater runoff byapproximately 120,000 gallons.

Forman Park gets new featuresPublished: Tuesday, June 05, 2012, 8:51 AMUpdated: Tuesday, June 05, 2012, 8:54 AMBy Dick Case / Post-Standard columnist

Forman, on East Genesee Streetin Syracuse, was rededicated aspart of the so-called “ConnectiveCorridor,” a partnership of thecity of Syracuse, SyracuseUniversity, Onondaga County’s“Save the Rain” program andthe state and federalgovernments.

Nancy Cantor, SU’s chancellor,calls the corridor ’’l.5 miles ofsignature strip of culturaldevelopment.” FrancescaMerwin, a student in the corridoroffice, called it a civicengagement, culturaldevelopment and scholarship inaction.

Just now, it involves a major ripping up of University Hill and the East Genesee businessdistrict. The public work adds up to a nearly half-a-million-dollar investment in Syracuse.Owen Kerney, deputy city commissioner for planning and sustainability, represented CityHall among partners on the park.

Kerney told me last week he’s pleased with the outcome of the corridor as far as FormanPark is concerned. He put the cost at $2.06 million for design and construction for Forman.

The focal point of the reconstruction is installation of an ornamental fountain at dead center,where the park pool used to be. The fountain looks old but is new. It has three tiers andslightly resembles a fountain placed in the park in the 1800s.

The city bought it from Robinson Iron, a company in Alexander City, Ala., according toKerney. Mayor Stephanie Miner threw the ceremonial switch at last week’s rededication, hesaid.

He explained the redone park includes some of the old features and some new things,including the concrete benches and landscaping and lighting. One of the items missing fromForman is the old stone bench that once sat at the park’s eastern edge, before SU took itover as an art exhibit space. Kearney said he didn’t know the bench’s fate.

http://blog.syracuse.com/opinion/2012/06/forman_park_gets_new_features.html

There was a bit of a dust-up in 2008 when the university installed a sculpture — a 11-feet-high yellow metal, foam and plastic work — that the Police Benevolent Association, whichlooks after the nearby police memorial, called “inappropriate.” The piece was replaced.

Another “bright and refreshed” element at the park’s west end are the 1908 memorialstatues of Lewis Redfield, a pioneer Syracuse journalist; Joshua Forman, a city founder; anda Native American figure. The sculpture group was cleaned and returned to Forman inDecember 2011.Schwartzwalder feedback

Jim Jerome, who suggested the May 27 column about former SU Football Coach BenSchwartzwalder’s grave, forwarded a nice comment from Felicia Louise Walker, Ben’sgranddaughter, who lives in Manhattan: “My youngest son is a Gemini (just like Ben). Hewas due June 14th (Flag Day) but decided to come early ... June 6 (D-Day)! He’ll be 10. Ithink it all means something!”

Note: D-Day was the World War II invasion that Ben jumped in as a member of the airborneinfantry.Fellows follow

Information flows in about Dr. Milton A. Fellows, who died during the Civil War, in 1863, andwas buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery, near Navarino. The large, metal marker on Milton’sgrave was rediscovered a while back by Jerry Orton and his wife, Lorraine. Jerry’s a CivilWar buff, complete with reenactor’s uniform.

Based on documents supplied mostly by Pam Priest, archivist at the Onondaga HistoricalAssociation, we believe Milton was from that part of Onondaga County (so is Pam) and wasplaced in a lot when he died of “camp fever” while serving as an Army surgeon. Pamemailed a copy of the Pine Ridge burials, which lists some 26 with the last name of Fellows.That includes the physician’s mother, Sarah, and father, Hiram. Milton’s burial note included“killed in Civil War.”

The list also includes a passel of Cases, likely the branch of my family who lived on CaseHill, a settlement south of U.S. Route 20. Pine Ridge was the burial place for Joshua Chaffee(1886), namesake for the hamlet of Joshua, which is on Route 20, too.

I checked with Mike Horigan, the expert on the Civil War military at Elmira, where MiltonFellows died. Mike thinks it’s likely that the surgeon was sent to Elmira, which had a largeUnion encampment in the war, on his way home to Onondaga County. The infamous ElmiraConfederate prison camp ran between July 1864 and July 1865.

Sue Greenhagen, of Eaton, an avid Civil War researcher, found Milton Fellows in an 1860census, listed as a physician in the Town of Onondaga, where Navarino is located.

Busy one-way street on University Hill to becometwo-way street

Published: 6/25 5:02 pm Updated: 6/25 6:02 pm

Syracuse (WSYR-Tv) -- A busy road on the Syracuse Universityhill is becoming a two-way street.

Construction crews have been working on University Avenue formonths. The roadway runs from Waverly Avenue all the waydown to Erie Boulevard. It's one part of the City's ConnectiveCorridor plan, which aims to connect the SU Hill with Downtown.

Like many streets on the hill, University Avenue has been one-wayfor years. Many drivers we spoke with think the new traffic patternwill make it easier to get around.

"It's always been confusing with all the one ways. I think changingit will only be confusing to the people who are already here, butthey will learn quickly with good signage," said Keith Costello.

Monday, crews were putting the finishing touches on a newcrosswalk at the corner of University Avenue and Marshall Street.The crosswalk will be highly visible and more durable than the old

one since the intersection sees heavy foot traffic.

Other upgrades include new curbs, lighting, bike racks and benches near the bus stops. You will also see examples ofgreen infrastructure along the road. Some parts of the sidewalk are designed to be porous in order to catch storm water,part of the county's Save the Rain program.

On the western side of the road, there is space to park. And on the other side of the road, a landscaped barrier to dividetraffic and the new two-way bike lane.

"I think it's a good idea. Traffic gets pretty crazy here in the spring and the fall, so to have the bike lane gives you thatextra security," said Mary Capparuccini, who commutes to campus on her bike.

The $5.5-million dollar project was a joint effort between the city, Onondaga County and Syracuse University. It was paidfor with tax dollars and grants.

University Avenue will become two ways in two weeks, the bike lane will also open in mid-July. Construction crews areexpected to be all cleaned up by the end of July.

US Postal Services Announces Green Roof Initiativeon Colvin-Elmwood Post OfficePublished on June 30, 2012 at 8:35 AM

By Gary Thomas

The U.S. Postal Service has reported that the Colvin-Elmwood Post Office will get an 11,300-square-foot green roof, which

will be constructed at no cost through the ‘Save the Rain’ initiative, a collaborative effort of Onondaga County, New York.

The Colvin-Elmwood Post Office's roof was

reckoned structurally strong to support the extra

weight of the vegetation, soil, and other

prerequisites of a green roof. The green roof will

comprise a new membrane, drainage sheet

layers, mat, indigenous vegetation, separation

fabric, and a wind blanket. The green roof

blueprint is in line with the Postal Service's

commitment to develop eco-friendly facilities

and spaces wherever possible.

The green roof also deals with practical issues.

The roof's estimated operating life is as high as

50 years which is double the period than that of

the existing roof. The roof will also lower

pollutant content in rainstorm water runoff

collected in Syracuse's municipal water system.

The Colvin-Elmwood green roof comes under the

Postal Service’s greener facilities strategy, which

covers the use of renewable materials, eco-

friendly building components, low volatile

organic compound components, solar

photovoltaic systems, energy-efficient HVAC and

lighting, and low-water use fixtures.

Chief Sustainability Officer, Thomas G. Day informed that the Postal Service is happy to partner with Onondaga County for

the construction of its second green roof, which will facilitate the organization in saving energy and water in the Syracuse

metropolitan region. With over 11,000 square feet of area, the Colvin-Elmwood green roof will also become one of the largest

in the New York region. The green roof will help the Postal Service to fulfill its objectives of achieving a 30% reduction in

energy consumption by 2015 and a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.

News: Downtown Syracuse at Heart of More Than $1.4B in Center City CapitalInvestments

Smart Growth America VP: Syracuse Well-Positioned in Competitive Environment

Downtown Syracuse is at the center of more than $1.4 billion in capital investments being made throughoutSyracuse announced the Downtown Committee of Syracuse at its annual meeting on Thursday.

Keynote speaker, Bill Fulton — a native of nearby Auburn, NY and now vice president for policy and programsat Smart Growth America, shared how cities are in competition for young talent. He described Syracuse as well-positioned in this competitive environment due to the high concentration of colleges and universities here andthe investment taking place in the urban core.

He also commented on Syracuse University’s important role as a catalyst for both “place-making” and thecreation of an innovation economy that is attractive to a new generation of your entrepreneurs. He alsocommended the university for making “connnections” to connect the area’s unique assets — through physicalinfrastructure, transportation, and amenities to make the city more walkable and bikeable — as well as civicengagement.

Of the $1.4 billion being invested into capital projects throughout Syracuse, $265 million is being invested indowntown Syracuse.

Other development highlights:• Over $60 million was recently invested or is currently being invested into the heart of downtown.• Infrastructure projects in downtown Syracuse (including Onondaga County’ Save the Rain initiative and theConnective Corridor) total over $124 million.• Hospitality & entertainment projects total $45 million.• Residential development projects planned or underway account for over $77 million of downtown’sdevelopment totals.• 570 new residential units will be added from these projects.

Postal Service Plants Second Green RoofSows New Seeds of Sustainability

SYRACUSE, N.Y., June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Postal Service today celebratedanother example of environmental leadership as local officials announced a green roof atop the Colvin-Elmwood Post Office. The 11,300 square foot green roof will be built at no cost to the Postal Service throughan innovative sustainability partnership with Onondaga County, NY.(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120628/DC32999)"The Postal Service continues to lead the way when it comes to making a positive impact on the environment," said Chief SustainabilityOfficer, Thomas G. Day. "We're pleased to be collaborating with the good people of Onondaga County on our second green roof, whichwill help the Postal Service conserve water and energy in the Syracuse metropolitan area."Working cooperatively with Onondaga County's Save the Rain initiative, the Colvin-Elmwood Post Office's roof was deemed structurallysound to support the additional weight of the soil, vegetation and other requirements of a green roof. The green roof will consist of anew membrane, layers of drainage sheet, mat, separation fabric, indigenous vegetation and a wind blanket. The green roof plan fitsperfectly into the Postal Service's commitment to create sustainable spaces and facilities wherever possible.The green roof also addresses practical concerns. The roof's expected lifespan is up to 50 years, twice as long as the roof it willreplace. It also will reduce the amount of contaminants in storm water runoff flowing into Syracuse's municipal water system."At more than 11,000 square feet, the Colvin-Elmwood green roof will be one of the largest in New York," said Day. "The Colvin-Elmwood green roof will help us meet our goals to reduce energy usage 30 percent by 2015 and greenhouse gas emissions 20 percentby 2020."The Colvin-Elmwood green roof is part of the Postal Service's greener facilities strategy, which includes the use of environmentallyfriendly building components, renewable materials, energy-efficient lighting and HVAC, low volatile organic compound parts, low-wateruse fixtures and solar photovoltaic systems.In the last 12 months, the Postal Service also has expanded its recycling program in Central New York to include mixed paper andcardboard, resulting in nearly 1,055 tons of materials recycled in the past year. With more than 700 postal locations, including PostOffice locations in Syracuse and Central New York, and with a recycling rate of 95 percent, District Manager, Edward F. Phelan, Jr.,noted the Albany district is one of the Postal Service's first Zero Waste districts."The employees of the Albany district have contributed to the lowest waste costs in the country and the fewest tons of material sent tolandfills," said Phelan. "We take environmental stewardship very seriously and every office in the Albany district, which serves morethan 3.5 million customers, participates in our recycling program, the success of which rates our district tops in the nation."In its 2011 Annual Sustainability Report the Postal Service announced a 7.4 percent decrease in greenhouse gas emissions from afiscal year 2008 baseline. The reduction of almost 985,000 metric tons of CO2 is equal to removing nearly 200,000 passenger vehiclesfrom the road for a year.Source: PR Newswire (http://s.tt/1gf6g)

Local post office goes green with new roofBy: Web Staff

ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Colvin-Elmwood Post Office in Syracuse is becoming more environmentally friendly with a "green"

roof.

The 11,000 square foot roof will be built through the Save The Rain Initiative to help reduce pollution in local lakes and creeks. The

green roof will capture storm water and will reduce the amount of contaminants produced by storm water runoff that flow into

Syracuse's water system.

The U.S. Postal Service is working together with Onondaga County to make this project possible, with no cost to the postal service.

"We choose it because Onondaga County offered us the opportunity to work with them. They're actually providing the funding to do it.

We're providing the opportunity with our post office. It's a great collaboration between the federal and local government," said Thomas

day, Chief Sustainability Officer.

Day says this is the second green roof to be built at a post office in the nation and both are in New York State.
