Abstract This circular provides a comprehensive and practical guide for the design of stormwater pump station systems associated with transportation facilities. Guidance is provided for the planning and design of pump stations which collect, convey, and discharge stormwater flowing within and along the right-of-way of transportation systems. Methods and procedures are given for determining cumulative inflow, system storage needs, pump configuration and selection, discharge system size, and sump dimensions. Pump house features are identified and construction and maintenance considerations are addressed. Additionally, considerations for retrofitting existing storm water pump stations are presented. 17.

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.

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.

  • Graham Park Sewage Pumping Station and Force Main Improvement Project
    Graham Park Sewage Pumping Station and Force Main Improvements Project Number: SPS112 Project Summary Project Commencement: Anticipated Start of Construction - Spring 2019 Project Description: Replacement of an existing antiquated Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) and force main (FM), and raise the SPS control building and equipment above the 100-year flood plain elevation. Scope of Work: This project will consist of installing a new submersible SPS with new controls, motors, emergency generator, by-pass connection on FM, and new flow metering equipment. The proposed pump control enclosure will be about 12’ in height and will be approximately 7’ by 13’ in size consisting of a faux-brick façade. The facility will be enclosed with an 8’ high chain-link fence with barbed-wire and locked for security. Additionally, the project will provide emergency backup supply and protect pump station facilities from storm surge flooding. Project benefits: The project will improve service reliability, safety conditions, and provide permanent back-up power. Project impact on residents/customers Noise associated with construction. Construction trucks accessing the SPS. Daily cleanup during construction to remove dust and dirt. Potential impact on traffic: Our standard roadway and traffic matters are outlined below. The Construction Contractor will be required to comply with Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Erosion and Sediment Control requirements to ensure all construction traffic does not track dirt on roads. The Service Authority will include in the construction contract a provision for fees to be assessed if the Construction Contractor does not comply with these requirements. Regular project updates to the impact of traffic will be listed on the website Graham Park Project.

  • Private Sewer Systems Defects and Overflows How Do Sewer System
    Private Sewer Systems Defects and Overflows Most sanitary sewer systems are constructed as a network of manholes and pipes that flow from each building that generates sewage to a wastewater treatment plant. Private services, also called laterals, are pipes from the building to the sewer main. In some areas, the public system owns and maintains the “lower lateral” from the sewer main to the edge of the easement or right-of-way, and the private property owner owns and maintains the “upper lateral” the remainder of the way to the building. In other areas, the private property owner owns and maintains both the lower and upper laterals. Finding and fixing sewer defects on private property sewer systems can prevent sewer overflows and backups that can cause health hazards, inhibit economic growth, and result in long-term environmental damage. How Do Sewer System Defects Cause Overflows? Private sanitary sewer systems, the earliest of which were built in the mid 1800s, carry domestic wastewater away from private properties separately from stormwater. These systems have deteriorated over the years, are typically not maintained or replaced due to funding, and their ability to transport sanitary wastewater has been compromised due to population growth. As a result, these systems can experience separate sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) both on public and private property. SSOs are generally caused by infiltration that occurs when clean water such as groundwater enters the sanitary sewer through defects in the system or inflow from stormwater that enters the system through defects and illegal connections. SSOs can also be caused by inadequate pipe sizes when population growth exceeds the original design conditions.

  • 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.
