1 2011 OWEA Wet Weather Issues Webinar Series Curtis D. Courter, P.E.

2 Webinar Topics Background Treatment Alternatives Solids and Floatables Control Disinfection Alternatives Clarification EHRT HRPCT

3 Background - CSOs Discharge untreated sewage diluted with rainwater to local waterways (CSO) Water quality & human health impacts National issue 85 Ohio communities w/ combined systems Over 1300 CSOs Source: City of Wilmington Delaware

4 Stream/River Miles (1000s) Background Water Quality Source: iaspub.epa.gov

5 Background - Regulatory CSO Control Policy Clear levels of control Flexibility Phased implementation Review and revision WQS Nine Minimum Controls NPDES Permits Consent Judgments

6 Webinar Topics Background Treatment Alternatives Solids and Floatables Control Disinfection Alternatives Clarification EHRT HRPCT

7 Why Solids and Floatables Control? Nine Minimum Controls Control of solids & floatables materials in CSOs (NMC 6) Pollution prevention to reduce contaminants in CSOs (NMC 7) Narrative Water Quality Standards Waters shall be free from floating materials entering as result of human activity in amounts to be unsightly or cause degradation OAC B Pollution Discharge Elimination Permits None as a result of discharge in unnatural quantities injurious to designated use - MI Consent Orders Engineering study of past, current and future measures to control solids and floatables materials Cincinnati MSD Assess construction of facilities for removing floatables from CSOs as an element of LTCP Toledo

8 Solids and Floatables Controls Source controls In-System controls End-of-Pipe controls

9 Source Controls Pollution prevention

10 Source Controls Catch basin modifications

11 Source Controls Filters

12 In-System & End-of-Pipe Controls Simple bar racks

13 In-System & End-of-Pipe Controls Static baffles

14 In-System & End-of-Pipe Controls Dynamic baffles

15 In-System & End-of-Pipe Controls Mechanically cleaned screens

16 In-System & End-of-Pipe Controls Proprietary controls Hydrodynamic separators Nutrient Separating Baffle Box Others

17 End-of-Pipe Controls Nets

18 End-of-Pipe Controls In Receiving Water - Nets

19 End-of-Pipe Controls In Receiving Water - Booms

20 Case Study - Sanitation District No. 1 Cincinnati SD1 Program Options Regulatory: S&F Controls everywhere Other Communities: Pilot engineered controls Hybrid: Simple S&F w/ engineered controls Pilot program developed Hydraulic criteria, controls, inspection forms

21 Simple S&F Controls Bar Racks & Baffles Pleasant Street Dry Weather Flow Weir Outfall Outfall Sump 4 th Street Baffle

22 Simple S&F Controls Net Bags Net Bags Elevated Outfall Pipe

23 Engineered S&F Control Sewer NSBB Screen Baffle Sediment Sumps Outfall

24 Select Observations Bar Racks Outfall Natural Debris Influent Overtopping ~ 6 month storm event Blocking Tie-off Blocking Rack Overtopping Influent Outfall

25 Select Observations Baffles Baffle Influent Outfall Overtopping ~ 6 month storm event Baffle Overtopping Influent Outfall Blocking Tie-off

26 Select Observations Nets (Logged Changes) Mary Ingles 8 lbs 5 lbs (12/4/07) 6 lbs (12/5/07) 1½ lbs (12/11/07) 8 lbs (12/26/07) 5 lbs (6/19/08) 4 lbs 5 lbs

27 Pilot S&F Control Pilot Program Summary of findings: Bar racks ineffective due to blinding and height limitations due to hydraulic restrictions Weirs and baffles marginally effective need good hydraulics at CSO diversion (check velocity under baffle) Nets on elevated overflow outfall pipes highly effective as long as velocities are not too high (damage nets)

28 Final S&F Control Program Install simple controls (weirs/baffles and nets) where configuration and hydraulics allow and effectiveness anticipated Engineered control locations would be through watershed planning Source controls public education, street cleaning, catch basin modifications & cleaning, grit pits, regulate construction site runoff
