Map Plan and Report for Proposed Sewer District
MAP, PLAN AND REPORT SEWER DISTRICT FORMATION SCHOHARIE BUSINESS PARK TOWN OF SCHOHARIE, NEW YORK MARCH 11, 2020 197 ELM STREET PO BOX 610 COBLESKILL, NEW YORK 12043 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Introduction 1 2 Wastewater System History 1 3 Existing Conditions 1 4 Evaluation of Facilities 5 5 Proposed Sewer District Options 7 6 Conclusion and Recommendations 8 APPENDICES A Schoharie Business Park Mapping B NYSDEC Correspondence C Existing Sewer System Schematic D Water Production Data E Existing SPDES Permit F Mapping of Sewer District Options G Proposed Improvements H User Cost Calculations I Proposed Sewer District Map and Description Page 1 1 INTRODUCTION The Schoharie Business Park (SBP) consists of 13 tax parcels as indicated on the mapping in Appendix A. The Business Park is currently served by private water and sewer systems and a private road network. Recently, NYSDEC has urged the Town to consider forming a Sewer District so that certain administrative and ownership issues related to the sewer system can be addressed. While the water system and the road network also have some technical issues that need attention, the scope of this Map, Plan and Report (MPR) only includes the Sewer System. 2 WASTEWATER SYSTEM HISTORY The wastewater system for the Schoharie Business Park was issued a discharge permit from NYSDEC in March of 2001. In 2002, Schoharie Park Sewage Works, Inc. was formed to operate the wastewater system under the NYS Transportation Corporation Law. In 2017, when many properties within the Schoharie Business Park were sold, Schoharie Park Sewage Works, Inc. was dissolved. This has left two options for the proper administration of the sewer system: 1) the current owner of the Schoharie Business Park (7 Summits, LLC) can form a new Transportation Corporation or 2) the Town of Schoharie can form a Sewer District. -
Infiltration/Inflow Task Force Report
INFILTRATION/INFLOW TASK FORCE REPORT A GUIDANCE DOCUMENT FOR MWRA MEMBER SEWER COMMUNITIES AND REGIONAL STAKEHOLDERS MARCH 2001 INFILTRATION/INFLOW TASK FORCE REPORT A GUIDANCE DOCUMENT FOR MWRA MEMBER SEWER COMMUNITIES AND REGIONAL STAKEHOLDERS MARCH 2001 Executive Summary This report is the product of the Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) Task Force. It has been developed through the cooperative efforts of the 43 Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA) member sewer communities, MWRA Advisory Board, The Wastewater Advisory Committee (WAC) to the MWRA, Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA), Fore River Watershed Association (FRWA), Mystic River Watershed Association (MRWA), Neponset River Watershed Association (NRWA), South Shore Chamber of Commerce (SSCC), Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and MWRA. The I/I Task Force recommends implementation of the regional I/I reduction goals and implementation strategies detailed in this report. The report outlines a regional I/I reduction plan with appropriate burdens and benefits for stakeholders. The report is intended to be a guidance document for use by local sewer communities, as well as other regional stakeholders, who may tailor appropriate aspects of the report recommendations to their unique situations. Severe storms in October 1996 and June 1998 led to the unusual circumstance of numerous sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) from local and MWRA collection systems. In the aftermath of these events, EPA and DEP began an aggressive effort to make MWRA regulate flows from community sewer systems. MWRA recommended cooperative efforts by local collection system operators, as well as regulators and environmental advocates, would be more effective than a prescriptive, enforcement based approach. -
Sydney Water's Innovative Approach for Optimising Chemical Dosing Into
ISBN number for Chemeca2019 is 978-1-925627-33-6 Paper no. 23 Chemeca 2019 29 September – 2 October 2019, Sydney, Australia Sydney Water’s innovative approach for optimising chemical dosing into sewer networks Michael Kacprzak 1, Lalitha Parthasarathy1, Rebecca Lockett 1, Luke Walsh 1, Tiffany Chen 1, Gino Iori 1 1. Sydney Water – 20 William Holmes St, Potts Hill 2143 NSW, Australia [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT For over 130 years, Sydney Water has provided reliable water and wastewater services that are central to liveability. In keeping with Sydney Water’s Lifestream strategy to remain a leading utility, it is essential to pioneer processes to optimise asset performance and improve operational efficiency. A culture of innovation enables Sydney Water to continue to change, adapt and embrace new technologies to stay at the forefront and deliver the best possible outcomes. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas generated in wastewater networks presents a complex management issue worldwide. Corrosion of concrete and metallic sewer assets result in expensive rehabilitation cost, while customer odour complaints and worker health and safety are also major issues. Our aim is to reduce concrete corrosion by minimising the generation and release of H2S with smarter network operation and design. Liquid phase chemical dosing in the wastewater network is integral in achieving this. Sydney Water currently operates more than 65 chemical dosing units (CDU) that dose either ferrous chloride, magnesium hydroxide or calcium nitrate. -

Sewer Backups
FAQ: Sewer Backups Sewer backups are common but unfortunate problems that occur across the country, including Homewood. Although the Village of Homewood, Department of Public Works, makes every effort to prevent such incidents, backups can still occur. In the event you experience a sewer backup that you believe is coming from the Village’s main sewer line, please call 708-206-3470 or 911 immediately for assistance. The following information is provided to help answer possible questions and provide you with the steps to take if such a problem occurs on your property. Question: What causes a sewer backup? Answer: Clogs or blockages in a sewer line can be caused by materials settling in the pipe, and in turn partially or completely block the sewer pipe. Such blockages can occur either in the Village’s main sewer line or in the private sewer service line, which the property owner owns and maintains. The private line, also known as the lateral line, connects your home or building to the public sewer system. Wastewater from your sinks, showers, toilets, dishwashers, and washing machines flows through the lateral line to the public sewer system. Lateral lines can be blocked or obstructed by items flushed down the toilet or washed down the drain, as well as tree roots, grease and other obstructions. Other causes of sewer backups may include pipe breaks or cracks, tree roots, sewer system deterioration or construction mishaps. When it comes to tree roots, help us help you by making sure not to plant new trees or shrubs over or near your home’s sewer. -
Inflow and Infiltration Reduction in Sanitary Sewers
Appendix E-4 – Inflow and Infiltration Reduction in Sanitary Sewers INFLOW AND INFILTRATION REDUCTION IN SANITARY SEWERS D.1 Introduction to RDII in Sanitary Sewers A properly designed, operated and maintained sanitary sewer system is meant to collect and convey all of the sewage that flows into it to a wastewater treatment plant. Rainfall dependent infiltration and inflow (RDII) into sanitary sewer systems has long been recognized as a major source of operating problems that cause poor performance of many sewer systems including system overflows. The extent of infiltration also correlates with the condition of aging sewers. The three major components of wet-weather wastewater flow into a sanitary system – base wastewater flow (BWWF), groundwater infiltration (GWI), and RDII are illustrated in Figure D-1 and are discussed below. Figure D-1: Three components of wet-weather wastewater flow BWWF, often called base sanitary flow, is the residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial flow discharged to a sanitary sewer system for collection and treatment. BWWF normally varies with water use patterns within a service area throughout a 24-hour period with higher flows during the morning period and lower during the night. In most cases, the average daily BWWF is more or less constant during a given day, but varies monthly and seasonally. BWWF often represents a significant portion of the flows treated at wastewater treatment facilities. GWI represents the infiltration of groundwater that enters the collection system through leaking pipes, pipe joints, and manhole walls. GWI varies throughout the year, often trending higher in late winter and spring as groundwater levels and soil moisture levels rise, and subsiding in late summer or after an extended dry period. -
Hydraulics Manual Chapter 13 APPENDIX F – STORM DRAINAGE
Storm Drainage 13-F-1 APPENDIX F STORM DRAINS 1.0 Introduction This appendix provides information for the planning and hydraulic design of storm drainage systems. The methodology is intended for those with an understanding of basic hydrologic and hydraulic concepts and principles. Hydrologic concepts were discussed in Chapter 7. Important hydraulic principles include flow classification, conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy. These elements were introduced in Chapter 8. Guidance on procedures to evaluate energy losses associated with storm drain systems is provided in Appendix G. A storm drain is that portion of the highway drainage system which receives surface water through inlets and conveys the water through a network of pipes to an outfall (see figure below). It is composed of different lengths and sizes of pipe connected by appurtenant structures. A section of pipe connecting one inlet or appurtenant structure to another is termed a "segment" or "run". Appurtenant structures include inlet structures (excluding the actual inlet opening), access holes, junction chambers, and other miscellaneous structures.
