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.

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 contractor, Joseph J. Lane Construction, restoration of CSO area 045 onRich Street, Crescent Avenue, Hudson Street, and West Castle Street is approximately 95% complete.The cured in place lining of existing sewers on Hudson and Crescent were completed in May. J.J Lane alsocontinued work in CSO Area completed the mainline sewer and sanitary and storm lateral installation onWest Genesee Street between Wallace and North Clinton. The plumbing contractors, Joy ProcessMechanical (JPM), continued their interior investigations and began work in May. JPM completed interiorand exterior plumbing modifications for 4 storm laterals on West Genesee Street between Franklin andClinton. Once complete, the discharge of combined sewage from CSOs 022 and 045 will be eliminatedand all sanitary sewage will be transmitted to Metro via the Main Interceptor Sewer (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 May, the contractor completed restoration work in Skunk City, and on WilburAvenue, West Fayette Street and Seymour Street. In addition, work continued on the Delaware/GrandRain Garden and Bio-retention Area. 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 we installed, ranging in size from 8” to 42” in diameter. The sewerinstallation is 100% completed and the project overall is approximately 95% complete. The project isanticipated 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 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: Conveyances - In May the contractor continued work on the conveyance sewers fromCSO 003and 004 that will transmit combined sewage during wet weather events to the new storagetank. Completed excavation and pile installation for 75 linear feet of pipeline (Station 8+20 to 8+86 and8+97 to 9+25) and began excavation for another 77 linear feet (Station 3+13 to 3+80). The contractor alsocontinued to remove excavated hazardous material from the site.

Storage - In May, the contractor completed forming and pouring the concrete walls of the junctionchamber and backfilled the trench for the 60” diameter pipeline. Jet grouting activities for the storagetank are 22% complete as of the end of May. The junction chamber will be the convergence point for theflow from the 60” diameter pipe from CSOs 003 and 063, and the 48” diameter pipe from CSO 004 priorto entering the facility. The storage facility will store combined sewage from the three CSOs duringstorm events, and transmit the sewage after the storm to Metro via the HBIS.

Project Description: The Leavenworth/Barker ParkProject involves capturing stormwater runoff fromnumerous adjacent streets and allowing it to infiltratethrough several different green infrastructurefeatures. Stormwater will be captured from MattyAvenue, Park Avenue, Barker Avenue, WilkinsonStreet, and Tracy Street as part of this project.Around the perimeter of Leavenworth Park,vegetated swales atop stone infiltration beds captureroadway runoff and allow it to infiltrate directly intothe groundwater below. These swales will be plantedwith two groundcover species and a native wetlandgrass species that can tolerate both wet and dry soils.

At the adjacent Barker Park, a rain garden will beinstalled between Tracy and Wilkinson streets. Therain garden will be planted with a mixture of nativeshrubs, flowering perennials, and grass species thatwill foster evapotranspiration and infiltration,preventing runoff from entering the combined sewersystem.

The final feature of Barker Park is a new basketballcourt that will be made of porous asphalt, allowingstormwater to infiltrate directly through the asphaltsurface and thus making the court playable even aftera rain storm. This basketball court will be done inconjunction with the Courts4Kids, an initiative of theJim and Juli Boeheim Foundation and the Carmelo K.Anthony Foundation.

The green infrastructure at Leavenworth Barker Parkis designed to capture up to 1” of rainfall at a giventime, reducing annual stormwater runoff byapproximately 1,574,000 gallons.

Because of their rapid growth they provide angler’s with exciting fishing, andbecause they are infertile there is little risk of their becoming a nuisance.

Tiger Muskellunge Captured in Onondaga Lake on May 22, 2012.

The fish was 48 inches long and 22-25 lbs. Weight was estimated to ensure that fish was releasedunharmed.

Yellow PerchYellow Perch populations in Onondaga Lake have been increasing since 2008. In 2011, the estimatedcatch per unit effort of yellow perch was 106 fish per hour--4 to 5 time higher than those reported in2000 - 2007. Initial observation from the May 2012 electrofishing event suggests that the yellow perchpopulations in Onondaga Lake are close to those reported in 2011.

New Skiddy Park playground honors Syracuse basketballlegend Paul SeymourTuesday, May 15, 2012

By Kelly Homan Rodoski • (315) 443-3784

Paul Seymour left a strong mark both in Syracuse and in basketball history. A 6-foot-1-inch guard, hewas a three-time all star and team captain of the 1955 National Basketball Association ChampionshipSyracuse Nationals.

Following his successful career as an NBAplayer and coach, in which he was known forhaving a principled role in helping tointegrate professional basketball, Seymourreturned to Syracuse and opened asuccessful business on the Near West Side.Here, he became well known for hisgenerous spirit and commitment to theneighborhood and its people.

Near Westside Initiative (NWSI) boardmembers and neighborhood residents found

it fitting that the new playground at Skiddy Park honor Seymour’s impact on the neighborhood, the Cityof Syracuse and the sport of basketball. The unveiling of the Paul Seymour Playground will take place atSkiddy Park, located at the intersection of Tioga and Otisco streets, on Thursday, May 17, at 3:30 p.m.This location is particularly fitting as Seymour was part of the first scrimmage game, played at BlodgettSchool, directly across from Skiddy Park, using the experimental 24-second shot clock developed byNationals-owned Danny Biasone in an effort to bring time limits to the game. The clock was adopted bythe NBA and is credited with saving the sport from dwindling popularity.

Mayor Stephanie Miner will attend the event, which will feature a five-minute video of highlights fromSeymour’s career and remarks by Syracuse sports legend Dolph Schayes, a teammate of Seymour.Members of the Seymour family will be there to unveil the park. The NWSI will celebrate the event withsports equipment giveaways to neighborhood children and refreshments. All are invited to attend.

The completed playground is the result of a collaborative neighborhood and community effort. TheNWSI, through the generosity of more than a dozen donors dedicated to the revitalization of the

http://insidesu.syr.edu/2012/05/15/skiddy-park-2/

neighborhood, raised more than $40,000 for the playground, which was then matched by the City ofSyracuse Parks Department.

“The Paul Seymour Playground is a great example of how government, nonprofit agencies and theprivate sector can pool their resources to benefit the community,” says Baye Muhammad, Syracusecommissioner of Parks, Recreation and Youth Programs.

The City of Syracuse Parks Department, the NWSI and park and landscape design firm Parkitects Inc.worked with neighborhood children to design a space that incorporated what they were looking for in aplayground. The design includes two age-appropriate playgrounds, several seating areas and a newwater feature. Additionally, porous pavement is incorporated throughout the park as part of theOnondaga County Save the Rain program.

Maarten Jacobs, director of the Near Westside Initiative, is anxious to unveil the playground withsummer around the corner. “The new playground at Skiddy Park is exactly what the Near Westsidecommunity deserves. As the cornerstone of the neighborhood, Skiddy Park now offers a comprehensivesafe place for kids in the community to play and exercise,” says Jacobs.

“The last time Skiddy Park had a new playground was 40 years ago,” says Near West Side resident CaroleHoran. “A new playground was way overdue, and is greatly appreciated by the community.”

WHAT'S SHAKIN' / Tuesday, May 22,2012 By Kevin Corbett

GARDEN STATEThe final phase of construction has begun on the new rain gardens in Tipperary Hill’s Pass

Arboretum, along Avery Avenue, with planting and landscaping expected to be completed by June 1.

“The plan was to come back in the spring and actually do the planting,” explained B.J. Adigun,

program coordinator for CH2M Hill, the county’s Save the Rain program consulting firm.

“If you plant in the winter, sometimes those plants don’t take. We had a crazy winter/early spring.

That kind of pushed back our schedule a little bit because we really wanted to make sure that the

plantings would survive. If you put them in too soon when the weather really hasn’t turned over,

there’s a good chance that you’ll be re-planting. We want to ensure we have a thriving, successful

rain garden.”

Meanwhile, a similar project is on the same timetable for the entrance to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo

along Wilbur Avenue. Both projects involve planting of flowers and shrubbery. Neighbors can expect

immediate improvements in the look of the area, especially since excavation and drainage projects

had left large depressions void of plant growth or even grass.

“The contractor now is out there working on plantings at both places,” Adigun said. “You’re going to

see the activity pick up and you’re going to see the rain gardens fully established by June 1. The

plan was always to not only capture rain water, but also be aesthetically pleasing areas for people to

enjoy.”

Robert Haggart Park is being redone in anenvironmentally friendly way

Published: Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 2:00 AMBy Dick Case / Post-Standard columnist

Robert Haggart Park, a pocket parkdear to our hearts at the Post-Standard, is getting a make-over.

The park is at North Clinton and WestGenesee streets. It’s named for BobHaggart, who used to be a columnistfor this newspaper. Bob died in 1997.We’re close enough to the park so wecan watch over it.

Lately, we watched Haggart sinking.

The problem seems to be the parkwas put together hastily on top ofconstruction filled from the buildingthat used to stand on the site. This iswhere the Cominsky family ran arestaurant, back then.

We’re told this is a joint county-city redo. It’s been welcomed into Onondaga County “Savethe Rain” projects, according to Matt Millea, deputy county executive for physical services.

The park’s been “boarded up” behind a wall of wood all winter. This month, a county crewdug into the park and carted away fill. This week, we’re down to the basic 19th centuryfoundation. The park’s been redesigned by a Syracuse firm of engineering consultants bythe name of CH2M Hill and is a piece of the county’s sewer separation project thatspreading all over town.

This is tied to the federal consent order dating to the 1990s to stop the overflow of sewageinto Onondaga Lake. “Save the Rain” ranges from the rain barrel in my back yard to make-overs in parks, such as Haggart.

The work at Haggart likely will take all summer, but when it’s done, “We’ll have a fully-restored park,” according to Matt Millea.

The new Haggart will include interior canopy trees, landscape planters, places to sit, porouspavement and stormwater planters connected to drains to Clinton and Genesee streets.These we see in designs by Leah Rominger. We’re seeing mounds of sculptured soil and

http://blog.syracuse.com/opinion/2012/05/robert_haggart_park_is_being_r.html

other changes-in-the-works featured across Syracuse and Onondaga County.

These locations include two “Save the Rain” redos in Sunnycrest Park and Skiddy Park (thispark will have three new areas); the entry to Burnet Park’s Gifford Zoo; Comfort Tyler Parkat Comstock Avenue and East Colvin Street; and Leavenworth Park and adjacent BarberSquare, along Park Avenue.

Matt Millea explains areas around five branch county libraries will be started in 2012: Petit,White, Hazard, Mundy and Beauchamp. Westcott Community Center and the Sherman Parkplayground also are on the schedule.

All are within the combined sewer district. Matt says green infrastructure will be used ateach of the locations, although each will be different, as far as details are concerned. A wetland will be created along Harbor Brook through the city’s Skunk City neighborhood andgreen roof projects are to be built at various sites, including at the Erie Canal Museum.

The county plans to replace sewer lines along West Genesee, West Willow and NorthFranklin streets this summer. Some of the sewer lines date to 1875.

Robert Haggart Park was dedicated in 1997.

Passing of friendsI’ve lost two friends during the week past.

Jean Stone Hughes died in Colonie, where she’s been staying the past few years with thefamily of her daughter, Sil. She was 92.

Jean was a Skaneateles girl by adoption, though, moving there with her husband, HughHughes, in 1945, into an old farm house with 27 acres around it. She grew up on her dad,Jim Stone’s, farm in Marcellus, a place that went back 134 years in the family. The Stonescalled their spread, Sheltered Valley. Jim raised champion Holsteins.

Sheltered Valley shrunk as Marcellus Central School, its near neighbor, grew. Jim’sgrandson, the late Moe Helfer, sold the place in 1986. Jean’s Skaneateles farm dwindled toan acre before poor health forced her to move.

Among other honors, Jean was in the first graduating class from that new school, in 1938.The Hughes also had a camp on Twitchell Lake in the Adirondacks. Big Moose Chapel is oneof the benefactors mentioned in her obituary. She’s coming back to Skaneateles this week.First Presbyterian Church in Skaneateles holds a celebration of Jean’s life at 10 a.m.Thursday.

Joe LaGuardia, retired as marketing director of the State Fair, died in Boston last week,where he’d gone for treatment of a rare blood disorder. Joe was but 63.

I met Joe when he came to work at the Herald-Journal, back in 1970. He was a friend forlife. As another friend of his remarked last week, “Joe was a gentle-man.” He truly was.

The City of Syracuse, Syracuse University and several project partners celebrated the reopening of Forman Park on EastGenesee Street on May 31, starting the park’s new fountain to mark the opening of the space.

The recent completion of construction at Forman Park represents years of investment and marks a significant milestoneas Forman Park is the first component of the Connective Corridor to be completed. Historical elements of the park, suchas the Police Memorial and the Redfield/Forman monument have been preserved, while new amenities, such as benches,bike racks, a fountain, green infrastructure, landscaping, lighting, public art and walking paths have been added.

The total cost of the project is approximately $2,062,619. Funding sources include grants from DASNY and ESD throughSU, the City of Syracuse, funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the OnondagaCounty “Save the Rain” program.

The Forman Park project includes “Save the Rain” green infrastructure elements. In total, 4,045 shrubs and perennials willbe planted as part of this project, capturing approximately 119,000 gallons of stormwater annually.

“The completion of Forman Park’s reconstruction is a major milestone in the Connective Corridor’s development,” says SUChancellor and President Nancy Cantor. “The hard, collaborative work of many partners has both restored andrejuvenated a public space at one of the city’s vital geographic and cultural anchor points. Its fresh design reflects theinnovative approach to engaging the public that we’re seeing all along the Corridor and points to the promise of more greatthings to come.”

“Our city parks are key social and cultural engines in our community and we are pleased to reopen Forman Park to thepublic as summer arrives,” says Syracuse Mayor Stephanie A. Miner.

Forman Park opens with renovationsBy: Web Staff 05/31/2012 11:26 AM

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Forman Park is open again after organizations around Syracuse spent more than a year

planning and renovating the park. The park on East Genesee Street opened today, and the starting of the new

fountain marked that.

Certain historical elements of the park have been preserved, including the police memorial and the Redfield-Forman

monument. New elements to the park include benches, bike racks, a fountain, public art and walking paths.

Now that the park has been renovated and open again, city officials hope it will bring more people to Syracuse to

enjoy the area.

"That's what we want to do in our park system. You know, New York City has a wonderful park system, we do too.

But we want to make these improvements so people can come to the city, check into a hotel, stay overnight, enjoy

our festivals, enjoy our restaurants,” said Baye Muhammad, Park Commissioner.

The park also includes "Save the Rain" green infrastructure elements, like more than 4,000 shrubs and perennials.

The elements will capture about 119,000 gallons of storm water each year.

Save the Rain program in Syracuse alsowill reach the suburbsPublished: Monday, May 07, 2012, 7:27 AM Updated: Monday, May 07, 2012, 7:36 AM

Onondaga County has launched a new edition of its award-winning Save the Rain program.This time, it’s saving suburban rain.

The county last week announced projects in a dozen suburban communities to reduce theleakage of rainwater into the county sewer system. They will receive a total of $3 millionfrom the county.

The projects range from the installation of porous pavement in Clay to the distribution of 25rain barrels in the village of Manlius. In total, 12 villages and towns will get money.

Until now, the county’s Save the Rain project has been limited to the county’s court-orderedefforts to restrict sewage overflows into Onondaga Lake. This year, that has meant theimplementation of 50 “green infrastructure” projects within Syracuse to reduce rainwaterrunoff into the city’s aging sewer system, which in most areas of the city is combined withits street drains.

Among the projects completed last year was the installation of a 60,000-square-foot systemfor collecting rainwater runoff from the roof of the county convention center.

During heavy rainstorms, sewers in the city become overloaded, requiring the release ofuntreated sewage into Onondaga Lake to prevent backups of raw sewage into streets andhomes.

County Executive Joanie Mahoney launched Save the Rain as an alternative to building fournew sewage treatment facilities in the city. By the end of the year, the program will bealmost half-way to achieving compliance with a federal court order that requires the countyto capture 250 million gallons of storm water a year through the use of “greeninfrastructure.”

The county is spending $80 million on the city version of Save the Rain, $20 million lessthan what it would have cost to build regional treatment facilities, said Matt Millea, deputycounty executive for physical services.

Last year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency named Onondaga County and Syracuseone of the country’s top 10 leaders in green infrastructure, thanks to the Save the Rainprogram.

The program has proven to be so popular that suburban county legislators asked to beincluded. Mahoney last year proposed spending $1.2 million on suburban projects. TheLegislature increased that to $3 million.

http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2012/05/save_the_rain_program_in_syrac.html

Mahoney said the suburban projects will not take money from the city projects. The cityversion of the program is coming in under budget, so money is available to fund both thesuburban projects and all of the city projects necessary to meet the court order, she said.

She said the suburban projects will reduce rainwater infiltration into aging and often leakysewer pipes in the suburbs. They will not affect the flow of sewage into Onondaga Lake, butthey will help prevent sewage backups and flooding in the suburban communities, she said.

Plans for the suburban projects include:

Clay: $420,000 to replace conventional paving with porous pavement on Hummingbird Pathand Indigo Path in the Bayberry community. Porous pavement reduces the surface waterentering storm drains.

DeWitt: $342,000 to install rain barrels and plant trees in the Park Hill and Franklin Parkneighborhoods.

Village of Manlius: $3,000 to distribute 25 rain barrels to capture runoff from downspouts.

Camillus approved for $421K grant for green initiatives in Shove Park

By Amanda Seef As of Thursday, May 3, 2012 -11:43 a.m

Camillus — The town of Camillus and Geddes have been selected to receive grants to promotegreen infrastructure in their towns.

The county's Save the Rain program will be extended to 12 suburban communities with 14projects, resulting in $3 million in updates. The projects will now go before the county legislatureto be approved in May and June.

The suburban projects are an extension of more than 50 projects within the city in the last year.The suburban green infrastructure projects were solicited by the county Department of WaterEnvironment Protection, which has been tasked with capturing 250 million gallons of stormwater per year through green projects. That was mandated by a federal court order.

“The expansion of the Save the Rain program into suburban towns and villages is great newsfor our

community,” said County Executive Joanie Mahoney.

The town of Camillus is expected to receive $421,000 to create porous pavement, rain gardens,rain barrels and plant trees. All work is expected in Shove Park in order to reduce stormwaterrunoff on impervious surfaces. The work will also help reduce stormwater inflow and infiltrationto the sewer system. It's expected to reduce runoff by 4.5 million gallons annually.

The town of Geddes will also receive a total of $467,500 for projects on Grove Road and atTown Hall.

Green initiatives in east-side suburbs to be funded by Save the Raingrants

By Amanda Seef As of Thursday, May 3, 2012 -1:44 p.m

Onondaga County — Numerous east-side suburbs are expected to receive grants to promotegreen projects in their communities.

The county's Save the Rain program will be extended to 12 suburban communities with 14projects, resulting in $3 million in updates. The projects will now go before the county legislatureto be approved in May and June.

The suburban projects are an extension of more than 50 projects within the city in the last year.The suburban green infrastructure projects were solicited by the county Department of WaterEnvironment Protection, which has been tasked with capturing 250 million gallons of stormwater per year through green projects. That was mandated by a federal court order.

“The expansion of the Save the Rain program into suburban towns and villages is great newsfor our community,” said County Executive Joanie Mahoney.

Those who will receive grants, once passed by the legislature, include:

DeWitt for $342,000

The town is expected to create rain barrels and plant trees in the Park Hill neighborhood. Thetown will also create a water quality infiltration system designed with underground perforatedpiping.

The town's second project will include rain barrels and tree planting in Franklin Park, distributing800 rain barrels to homeowners.

Village of Manlius for $3,000

The village will distribute 25 rain barrels on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Village of Fayetteville for $360,000

As part of the ongoing Limestone Plaza renovations and repairs, the project will use porouspavement, rain gardens and newly-planted trees to reduce inflow and infiltration into thecounty's sewer.

The new parking spaces would be created out of porous asphalt that would allow rainwater toseep through the material. This would help the village control where the water goes, so that itdoes not overpower the sewer system.

http://www.eaglenewsonline.com/news/2012/may/03/green-initiatives-be-funded-save-rain-grants-east-/

The bump-outs in the intersections would also be constructed with rain gardens. Additional treeswill help in the overall green infrastructure, as well as helping to calm drivers on the road.

Village of East Syracuse for $115,000

A rain garden would be created on the Department of Public Works property to capture runofffrom the roof.

Town of Manlius for $10,500

The underground infiltration system for the Murfield drainage district will be retrofitted, replacingan existing system that is more than 30 years old.

DeWitt secures two sizeable green grants

By Neil Benjamin Jr. As of Friday, May 4, 2012 -3:18 p.m.

The town of DeWitt applied for two grants a while back from the Save the Rain GreenInfrastructure program run through Onondaga County.

“We weren’t expecting to get them, really,” said Jim Conlon, director of zoning and planningfor DeWitt.

Turns out, the town got both through the Save the Rain program, which announced Wednesday itwas giving away $3 million to towns in the eastern suburbs.

DeWitt got two sizeable grants. It received $219,000 for a project in Franklin Park and $123,000for the Park Hill Green initiative. Baldwinsville received the most money, $492,023 for aBioretention project to reconstruct a street.

The news happened so fast, Conlon said he only found about the grants when the Eagle Bulletinput in a request for comment.

“I was very surprised,” he said. “This is a huge plus for the town because we got these two biggrants that will help deal with rainwater runoff.”

The entire program gives 12 communities money for 14 total projects. In June, this will go infront of the county legislature for approval. This is an extension of dozens of projects within thecity over the past year. The Department of Water Environment Protection was the group whichstarted the work in getting money from the county.

The task is to capture around 250 million gallons of storm water via the use of greeninfrastructure by 2018, which helps the environment in many ways.

“It’ll reduce what flows into Onondaga Lake,” Conlon said. “Plus, we’ll be able to reuse thewater in ways like washing our car, among others.”

He said that chemicals, trash and many other things that aren’t good for the lake flow into it eachyear, and that the initiative will stop a large percentage of that from happening.

In Franklin Park, Conlon said, approximately 800 rain barrels will be distributed to 400homeowners who will put them around their properties and allow the rain water to collect. Partof the grand also funds a tree planting initiative, and that should have about 250 new treesplanted. Conlon said residents will be taught about how to plant a tree, as well as where.

http://www.eaglenewsonline.com/news/2012/may/04/dewitt-secures-two-sizeable-green-grants/

“We want to make sure they plant them where it won’t interfere with piping or anythingunderground,” Conlon said. He added: “The tree planting will help suck up some of the water, soit’s another win.”

In Park Hill Green, the neighborhood will be planting about 100 trees in the greater Park Hillneighborhood. It’s also looking to put in a water quality infiltration system “designed withunderground perforated piping.”

Conlon said securing the grants wasn’t all his doing.

“It was a team effort all-around,” he said. “It’s a plus for the town. It’ll help beautify our townand also Onondaga Lake.”

County Executive Joanie Mahoney, in a press release, commented on how she felt about theproject.

“The expansion of the Save the Rain program into suburban towns and villages is great news forour community,” she said.

B'ville receives Save the Rain grant

By Erin Wisneski As of Monday, May 14, 2012 -10:49 a.m

Baldwinsville — I recently sat down with Mayor Joseph Saraceni at the B’ville Diner to learnabout what is new in the village. While he gave me an update on the Village Square project(sidewalks should be in within the month then topsoil and seed will be spread) and thisweekend’s Carp Tournament (Joe will participate as a local celebrity), the breaking news wasthe village receiving a $492,000 Save the Rain grant.

Run by the county, the Save the Rain program is a comprehensive storm water managementplan intended to reduce pollution to Onondaga Lake and its tributaries (read more atsavetherain.us/about). Originally focused on the city, county officials recently expanded theprogram to include the suburbs of Syracuse.

Village officials applied for the grant about two months ago, requesting $700,000, Joe said.While they didn’t receive the entire amount, “we were by far the largest award,” he added.

The County Executive approved Baldwinsville’s grant as well as several others last week. Nowthe County Legislature has to approve it.

The village will use the funds to reconstruct Lock Street turning it into a two-way boulevard witha rain garden in the median. That way, when water runs off the hill, it will hit the rain gardenrather than running directly into the river along with all the debris and chemicals collected alongthe way.

Suburban projects such as Baldwinsville’s are aimed at reducing storm water impacts on overburdened and aging sanitary sewer systems and pump stations. This will ultimately helpOnondaga County to comply with a federal court order requiring the capture of 250 milliongallons of storm water per year via green infrastructure by 2018.

“This says a lot for working with the county as well as utilizing a Smart Growth plan ofdevelopment,” Joe said, adding, “As a riverfront community, we have a responsibility to managestorm water run off and this is going to help us do that. It will also help to reconstruct an oldstreet in an area that holds a lot of potential for redevelopment.”

Mayor Saraceni and Editor Wisneski are scheduled to meet for coffee again at 9 a.m. Tuesday,May 22, at Canal Walk Café, 23 Syracuse St., B’ville. Community members are welcome to jointhem for coffee and address concerns about the village with the mayor or send your questionsto [email protected] and Editor Wisneski will ask the mayor for you.

Onondaga County could soon be saving rain in the suburbs.

Lawmakers are considering expansion of the "Save the Rain" program, which hasalready kept 125 million gallons of water out of the sewage treatment plant in the city ofSyracuse.

The Save the Rain program sprang out of a court order to stop sewer overflow from thecity of Syracuse into Onondaga Lake and it's tributaries.

The program has worked so well, Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney isasking lawmakers to approve $3 million worth of projects in the suburbs.

http://www.wrvo.fm/post/saving-rain-suburbs

Towns and villages have a different reason for wanting to keep rain water at bay.

"They do have sanitary sewers that are not combined, but when you look at the flow ona regular day, the number of gallons that go through a pump station and then compare itto what happens after a rain storm, they have eight times the water going through,"Mahoney said.

Mahoney says all this rain often overtaxes systems, which ultimately costs taxpayersmoney.

She hopes approval of projects like porous pavement, rain barrels and rain gardens canhelp.

In the meantime she says the average homeowner can also do something to save therain.

"I talk about turning downspouts, so they hit your landscaping instead of your driveway.If everybody was to do that we could slow seven percent of the water in a typical storm,"Mahoney said.

, waseligible to apply for funding from the expanded Save the Rain program; applications were due on March30, 2012. The proposed green infrastructure projects were vetted by the Department of WaterEnvironment Protection, which placed a priority on advancing projects that will ultimately benefit thecounty owned, as well as town and village, sewage collection systems through the reduction ofstormwater infiltration into aging and often leaky sewage and pump station infrastructure.

Green infrastructure manages rainfall where it lands via the use of bio-retention swales, porous pavement,tree plantings, rain barrels, and green roofs; all of which are proven to be effective in mitigating sanitarysewer overflows and water pollution.

"Last year, the County Legislature took a bold step in approving an expansion of the Save the Rainprogram to include suburban communities. I would like to thank the County Executive and her team foradvancing these projects to the Legislature for consideration and congratulate the candidates on their hardwork in developing some very innovative and forward thinking green infrastructure projects. We lookforward to reviewing and discussing the projects recommended by the County, and offering our support tothose projects that meet or exceed the goals and objectives of the Save the Rain program," said RyanMcMahon, Chair of the Onondaga County Legislature

"The Water Environment Protection Department is extremely excited by the opportunity to team withlocal municipalities to remedy existing inflow problems using green technologies. All the projects to befunded are sound investments in better sewer system management.
