As Onondaga County progresses in abating combined sewer
overflows, it is preparing to build a regional
treatment facility (RTF) near Onondaga Creek on the west
side of downtown Syracuse. The following documents
describe this project:
 Facility Plan
Environmental Information Document
Public hearing transcript — & Responses
The goal of the project is to address abatement of
eleven CSOs between Fayette and Oneida streets. The
Facility Plan evaluates alternative technologies to address
the overflows and alternative sites for a
storage-treatment facility. It recommends:
-
In-line storage and a vortex separator RTF as the
most cost-effective CSO abatement approach
-
Construction on a site between the elevated railroad
tracks and Onondaga Creek.
Conveyance pipes will connect the CSOs to the
facility, and they will also serve as inline storage.

Transportation engineers will develop ways to
maintain, as much as possible, the flow of traffic and
the supply of parking spaces both during and after
construction of the facilities. The Clinton CSO Abatement: Environmental Information Document (Nov 2005) examines
this and other potential environmental effects of the
project.
Progress on the Clinton RTF project is occurring along
two paths:
|
Conveyance-related work
|
RTF-related work
|
Continued work on property acquisition and easement activities.
Bids opened April 17. Two bids were received.
|
95% design documents submitted to DEC for review and approval on March 2.
Design review meeting held with DEC on March 26.
Meetings held to discuss stormwater management plans.
