Contact Hours: 1 Engineer* 2 Wastewater 0 Water°

Moderators Stephen Ertman, HDR; Claire Zaccheo, Antea Group

9:00 am Advances in Porous Pavement: Modular Precast Porous Concrete Gregg Novick, Porous Technologies

Despite a recent surge in the popularity of porous pavements with regulators, there has been reluctance among engineers and developers to utilize this viable LID technology . Unpredictable weather conditions during instal-lation, maintenance and durability concerns as well as the high cost and labor intensive installation of poured-in-place porous asphalt and concrete have prohibited their widespread use . New developments in the porous pavement industry have made the use of these green infrastructure technologies less risky for the end user . We will discuss advances in porous pavement technologies as well as some of the new techniques to maintain these systems . We will discuss several projects that illustrate how a variety water quality goals can be realized using the next generation of porous pavements .

9:30 am Green Infrastructure Practices in Westchester County: Rain Gardens, Constructed Wetlands and Pervious Pavements Rob DeGiorgio, Dvirka & Bartilucci Consulting Engineers

The Village of Scarsdale has been actively engaged in comprehensive storm water management with particular emphasis on green infrastructure, run-off reduction, flood mitigation and water quality improvements . The Village is constructing an 1,800-square-foot rain garden to treat the public library roof run-off (approximately an 18,000 square feet area) . The project includes extensive flow monitoring as well as rain barrels and cisterns with solar powered pumps for water re-use/irrigation . The presentation also includes updates on the 3,000-square-foot rain garden and 30,000-sqaure-foot constructed wetland built last year .

10:00 am Coffee Break in Exhibit Hall

11:00 am Water Quality and Quantity Improvements of Permeable Pavements* Glenn Herold, Oldcastle Architectural

This presentation is intended to answer three key questions about permeable pavements, namely how well do they work at preserving and improving water quality, for how long and at what cost . The answers are based on findings from actual installations, and are validated through supporting research from across the continent . In short, we want to shed some light on how the system performs over the long term, and what exactly happens within the “black box” .


11:30 am Fast-Track Green Infrastructure for Flooding Mitigation in an Aging Collection System* Ray Hyland, Matthew O’Connor, Greeley and Hansen; Bethany Bezak, DC Water

In the summer of 2012, four intense rainfall events caused stormwater and combined sewage to exceed the capacity of the 120-year old collection system and flood two residential neighborhoods in Washington DC . More than 200 property owners experienced basement flooding caused by sewer backups and overland flow . Surface flooding in the streets occurred at many locations, including a busy intersection where ponding levels topped two feet . As co-lead of the Mayor’s Task Force on the Prevention of Flooding in Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park, DC Water worked together with nine agencies to provide recommendations on short-, medium-, and long-term mitigation measures . While the long-term solution will address combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and flooding by way of a network of large tunnels constructed deep underground, public pressure and the threat of repeated flooding necessitated a suite of short- and medium-term flood mitigation strategies . This presentation will summarize the role that green infrastructure is playing as part of the medium-term flood miti-gation measures in the affected neighborhoods of DC .

2:30 pm Coffee Break in Exhibit Hall 3:30 pm Embedding Sustainability into All Phases of a Water Resources Recovery Facility Upgrade° Rick Hirsekorn, Scott Weikert, Karen Pallansch, Lisa Racey, Alex Renew, CH2M HILL

Sustainability principles are increasingly shifting industries away from “business as usual” in terms of opera-tions and construction of facilities . While some municipal wastewater projects have utilized renewable energy sources, LEED structures, etc ., few have developed a programmatic approach to all stages of an infrastructure upgrade from concept to operations . An overview of emerging programs (Envision, custom programs, etc .), accompanied by specific case studies, will be discussed during the course of this presentation .

4:00 pm New York City Delivers Sustainable Infrastructure° Dennis J . Stanford, NYCDEP, Bureau of Engineering Design & Construction

New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) is currently improving their existing project delivery framework to focus on delivery of sustainable infrastructure . NYCDEP supplies and distributes more than 1 billion gallons of high-quality water to nine million New Yorkers and visitors every day, and treats 1 .3 billion gallons of wastewater daily to achieve the smallest possible impact on water quality in New York Harbor . Beyond these core utility functions, we are also responsible for improving air quality, reducing noise pollution and protecting New Yorkers from hazardous substances . NYCDEP manages a large capital program, $2 .3 billion annually, aimed at maintaning and expanding the city’s infrastructure . Over the last three years, NYCDEP’s capital program has re-envisioned its role in the Design-Bid-Build project delivery framework to be a better steward for New York City . The agency is accomplishing this in part by incorporating sustainable practices throughout the core of the entire capital program, including updates to the Project Delivery System and application of the Envision rating system . The Envision rating sys-tem is a valuable communication platform that allows stakeholders to identify and improve the triple bottom line (the balance of social, economic and environmental considerations), as well as a sustainability reporting tool and third party certification .

1:30 pm How a Peer Review Saved the Great Bay Estuary (1 hour) (and about $300 Million in Municipal Expenditures) John Hall, Keisha Sedlacek, William Hall, Hall & Associates

Based on a simplified assessment, the Great Bay Estuary was declared nutrient impaired in 2009, triggering state of the art (3mg/l TN) limitations and stringent stormwater controls (cost exceeding $1 billion) . Municipal enti-ties challenged the decision and the state agreed to participate in an independent peer review . This presentation will review the process that lead to the peer review and its results, and describe how future regulatory decisions will be governed by that review .

2:30 pm Coffee Break in Exhibit Hall

3:30 pm Heating and Cooling Energy from Wastewater! Energy Savings for All; New Income for Water Utilities Chris Hubbard, Huber Technology

Flowing through our sewers, wastewater is a seldom used source of energy . Its flow is relatively constant irre-spective of the seasons, and its availability is independent of wind or sun . With a stable and neutral temperature range, it is often warmer than air in the winter and cooler than air in the summer and is an excellent conductor of energy . This all makes wastewater an excellent energy source for building HVAC systems .

The Village of Northport must comply with the Long Island Sound Study (LISS) . A two-phase approach was adopted . Phase I upgrades included the Modified Ludzack-Ettinger (MLE) process . Phase II upgrades include a deep-bed denitrifying sand filter . The Phase I upgrades were completed in early 2005 . The upgrades allowed the plant to meet both the 2004 and 2009 LISS nitrogen requirements . Phase II upgrades deep-bed denitrifying filters were selected for the final upgrades to meet 2014 permit limits

10:00 am Coffee Break

10:30 am Mamaroneck WWTP Nitrogen Removal – IFAS Implementation and Performance Charles Prior, GHD Consulting Services Inc .

The nitrogen removal project at the Mamaroneck WWTP was performed by Westchester County in order to comply with their 2008 Order of Consent . The existing aeration tanks were retrofitted to integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) reactors . Performance testing was performed by the IFAS system supplier to determine if the system was capable of a 30-day average less than or equal to 2 .5 mg/L (summer) and 7 .0 mg/L (winter) total inorganic nitrogen .

11:00 am Implementing State of Good Repair with a Phased LIS Nitrogen Program at the Port Chester WWTP Frederick Kincheloe, Savin Engineers, PC; Thomas Lauro, G . Michael Coley, Westchester County Department of Environmental Facilities

Westchester County is currently implementing a phased upgrade program at four WWTPs to meet the Long Island Sound nitrogen goals . The phased program may or may not require upgrades to the Port Chester WWTP, but “state of good repair” improvements are immediately necessary . Savin Engineers, PC developed a unique approach using RBCs that allows the County to leverage approximately $21 million of state-of-good repair improvements to also meet nitrogen goals .

Session 10: Plant Operations and NYS Environmental Facilities Corp. (Location: Salon A)

Contact Hours: 1 Engineer* 2 Wastewater 1 Water

Moderator John Petito, NYCDEP/BWT 9:00 am Integrate CFD Model in Design of Wastewater Treatment Plants* Sean Zhang, Paul Saurer, Paul Pitt, Hazen and Sawyer

This presentation leads us through a mosaic tour of how various CFD modeling technologies forayed into detailed design of wastewater treatment plants including raw water pumping station, bar screen chamber, flow split/control structure, grit tank, preliminary settling tank, activated sludge tank, secondary clarifier, chlorine contact tank, UV disinfection channel multiport diffuser injection system for de-chlorination and effluent plume in receiving water .

9:30 am Concurrent versus Counter-current Inclined Cell Sedimentation and How It Improves Surface Overflow Rates in a Hydrodynamic Separator* Hans de Bruijn, Fresh Creek Technologies Inc .; Shirley E Clark, Penn State University

Placing parallel plates or tubes in a settling tank reduces the settling tank footprint and matches conventional settling tank performance . It is a common practice to reduce the required tank area up to 90% . Several patented methods have improved the flow patterns to avoid re-suspension of the sediment, but employ counter-current flow patterns in the settler portion . We show that patent-applied-for con-current settling design reduces turbu-lence and avoids wash-out in a hydrodynamic separator for stormwater treatment .

Lifestyle Program – Welcome to Hauppauge, NY!


8:00 am–9:30 am Breakfast (Location: Exhibit Hall)

10:00 am–3:00 pm Bayard Cutting Arboretum Tour, Afternoon Victorian Tea at The Hidden Oak Café (onsite)

440 Montauk Highway, Great River, NY

The Bayard Cutting Arboretum farm was established in 2012 on a parcel of land which overlooks the Connequot River and is adjacent to an historic barn that was used by the Cutting family for their herd of Jersey milking cows . Later, the meadow was mowed and the barn used for storage until the Arboretum’s Director Nelson Sterner decided to devote a portion of the land for growing crops . The land was turned over and prepared for planting in the early spring of 2012 . The main room of the barn was cleaned and painted and is now used as the information center and pick up area of the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) .

The land: Almost 13 tillable acres are devoted to the CSA, however, only a small part of the acreage is under cultivation . In 2013, the main field measured 54,000 square feet . The herb bed, strawberry field and asparagus bed together measure a little over 8,000 square feet which totaled approximately 62,000 square feet – a little short of an acre and a half under cultivation . The soil was tested prior to planting and amendments, mostly compost and organic multi-purpose fertilizer, were added to increase the organic matter and mineral content of the soil . They do not use chemical fertilizer or pesticides . They use straw mulch and cultivate by hand to help control weeds .

Farming practices: Bayard Cutting Arboretum CSA farm is not a certified organic farm, however, they follow the guidelines of the Northeast Farmer’s Association of New York (NOFA-NY) Farmer’s Pledge which describes guidelines that the farmer promises to follow to ensure that the food is responsibly grown, using organic and sustainable practices . The farmer promises to grow the healthiest food possible under conditions that help preserve the land on which it is grown .

Operations Challenge

Monday June 2, 2014 2:00 pm–5:00 pm Team Meeting Process Control Written Test

Tuesday June 3, 2014 9:00 am–3:00 pm Operations Challenge Competition 3:00 pm–4:00 pm Operations Challenge Sludge “Challenge” 4:30 pm–5:30 pm Reception in Exhibit Hall 6:30 pm–9:00 pm Dinner Location: Onsite at Hotel 7:30 pm Operations Challenge Awards 5S Awards and Golden Manhole Awards

Come and join in the excitement! Operators from across New York State compete for the right to be

champions and compete in the National Competition at WEFTEC in New Orleans, LA, in

October. The first event kicks off at 9:00 am. Awards will be presented at the Awards Ceremony

that evening. Come and see the best wastewater collection and treatment personnel in New York

display their skills.

Collection Systems: Teams will cut out a section of 8" PVC sewer pipe with water flowing through it . A 4" saddle connection with gaskets will be installed on a pre-drilled piece of pipe on a separate stand . Teams will cut the 8" PVC replace-ment section with the saddle and install the section with flexible repair couplings . The team will also identify images of known pipe defects and observations with the correct terminology from the National Association of Sewer Service Companies’ (NASSCO) Pipeline Assessment Certification Program (PACP) .

Laboratory: Teams will perform all steps of a BOD analysis using YSI equipment following all method requirements as outlined in Standard Methods 18th edition 5210B .

Process Control: The event is divided into two sections . In the first section worth 100 points, teams will troubleshoot operation and process control problems and calculate information in a variety of treatment facilities . The problems will be written, complete with analytical data, flow schematics, equipment capabilities and operational data . Answers are multiple choice . In the second section the teams will then compete for “bragging rights” in an oral question-and-answer format .

Pump Maintenance: Teams will respond to a pump station pump failure by performing routine maintenance on a Godwin Dri-Prime® pump, positioning it at the lift station and installing suction and discharge hoses from the pump to the lift station inlet manhole and flanged force main tie-in gate valve . A level controller will be connected to the Godwin NC80 Dri-Prime® pump to allow for unattended operation (starting and stopping) .

Safety: The team will test a manhole atmosphere, fill out a confined space entry permit and set up a blower to vent the manhole . Two team members will don harnesses and enter the manhole one at a time via a winch . They will harness and remove an unconscious co-worker (victim) . Once the victim is up top, the team will move them to a designated area for decontamination . While the rescue is underway, a fourth team member will perform CPR on a co-worker who has collapsed from a heart attack .

Each event will be timed separately and all team members will be required to perform one task.

Matching Fund

Contributors

It is essential that we keep the scholarship fund momentum growing to demonstrate to our newer

members and future members our commitment to the water environment cause, not just for

ourselves but for our children and generations of children to come. This is truly a program of which

each NYWEA member can be proud. Remember, the success of our students is our success as well!

Make a donation or become a matching fund contributor and make a difference for a student

pursuing an environmental degree. Phases I and II raised significant funds for the scholarship

program, the goal of Phase III is to get as many of our members to be donors. We are looking

for donations from members who have not previously given – become part of this program and

your donation will be matched and provide double the benefit! Donation forms are available at the

Registration Desk.

If you would like to make a pledge or donation to this important program,

contact Patricia Cerro-Reehil at (315) 422-7811.


Be A Leader & Help NYWEA’s Scholarship Program Grow

Matching Fund Pledge FormYour contribution will help reinforce the foundation of the existing Scholarship Program. This is the third phase of the program. Your pledge will be used dollar for dollar to solicit matching donations from members that have not contributed and will make their contribu-tions go further. This program is targeted to get as many new members as possible, so the matching funds will be used only to match donations from new contributors. Also, the amount is limited to $20/year for five years to spread the matching funds as far as possible. Matching fund contributors will be recognized uniquely by verbal promotion at both the Spring and Annual Meetings, and printed recognition on the website and in Clear Waters magazine.

We are looking for contributors to pledge at the $1,250, $2,500 or $5,000 level – that is $250, $500 or $1,000 per year for five years to establish the matching fund.

DONATION FORM

This is the third phase of the scholarship program, the first two phases of the program raised over one million dollars for scholarships. NYWEA has given out over $200,000 to 100 students. This phase is a matching fund initiative to get new contributors. If you have not con-tributed to the scholarship program, every dollar you

donate will be matched – doubling your contribution. We want to get as many new contributors as possible, so the donation is limited to $100 or only $20/year for the next five years. Of course you can contribute more to the schol-arship fund, those donations will not be matched but greatly appreciated.
