- 2005: DEC required that the City “characterize” the
performance of the wastewater system
- 2005: An Order on Consent required the City to assess
inflow and infiltration which resulted in a 5-Year CIP
‒ Central State Street Neighborhood ‒ Hamilton Hill and Vale Village Neighborhoods ‒ Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood ‒ Downtown Business District
- 2013: Re-classification of the Alco Regulator from a
CSO to SSO
- 2014: New Order on Consent for SSO Abatement

“Hardening” of the Pump Station
Protection of Critical Equipment and Continuous Operations

SLIDE 11 Key Project Design Considerations
- Pump Station needs to be “hardened” to
protect critical equipment and ensure
- perations during flood events
- Maintain continuous operation of the
pump station during construction
- Incorporate flexibility in the design to
accept additional flows from City development, Rotterdam and Scotia
- Ensure sufficient pumping and wet well
capacity to deliver flows to the WRRF to enable the SSO Abatement
- Building and landscape architectural
elements need to be matched to the character of the historic neighborhood

SLIDE 20 Project Advisory Committee
Influenced Decisions and/or Recommendations
- New facility to be located to the west of the existing pump
station to preserve critical green space areas
- Building was “re-conceptualized” and site grading approach
has been modified to minimize the fill limits and disturbances
- Architecture has been modified to reflect more modern
aesthetics and treatments
- Proposed “dry-dock” to protect the backup power generator
- Minimization of impacts to “viewsheds”
‒ Consideration of placement relative to adjacent properties ‒ Set-back distance from the river walkways ‒ Screening and plantings, including use of the existing visual barrier created by Governor Yate’s brick garden wall
- Proposed access to the pump station from Governors Lane
‒ Limits paved surfaces and preserves green space ‒ Minimizes impacts to primary park entrance
SLIDE 21 Next Steps
- Presentation of the Project to the Stockade Association and
broader general public audience
- Targeted date for completion of plans and specifications by
December 2017
- Targeted date for the completion of construction by
December 2019
