Project Goal: Mitigate the CSO for the TYS to comply with Consent Order
WWMP stipulated the necessity and goal of this project
Reevaluation of WWMP combined with deadline and site constraints led to interesting solution

Project Area
100 acre project area to be evaluated to meet the goal of the project. Original project plan was to redirect inflow.

Design Constraints
• Original solution in WWMP called for Inflow Redirection, however:– Narrow rights‐of‐way in project area – Existing large sewers are brick and in excess of 100 years old– Existing utilities crowd the R/W and are located above and below sewers
– Concurrent ODOT project affects traffic flow in our area– Increased flow from larger impervious area
• An “out of the box” solution was necessary

Reevaluate! Flow modeling for our project was initiated (3 sewersheds)
Sewer connectivity was field verified via CCTV.
CCTV files were reviewed for large scale inflow.

WIB Analysis
City maintains a Complaint Database
Backflow analysis was performed
HGLs were assigned to each MH based on H&H model.
WIB analysis was performed for 4 scenarios:
• Existing Conditions TYS• Existing Conditions 10‐year• Proposed TYS• Proposed 10‐year recurrence

Bending Weir Operation
Dry weather flow and flows up to the TYS are conveyed into the Peter’s Run sewer.
Overflow in excess of the TYS flow is conveyed to the Market Mohawk storm sewer via the effluent 60” pipe.

Existing Utilities
Despite extensive efforts to locate utilities during design, they were still problematic during construction. The construction documents required additional vacuum excavations prior to ordering materials for project completion.

Summary
• Revaluation of the WWMP (“new” existing condition) is important as the watershed effects of the completion of other projects cannot be predicted.
• Always return to the goal of the project‐ an unconventional solution that solves the problem is still a solution
• Verify that the solution you have designed meets that goal
