Spotlight: Greater Cleveland Area - Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD)
NEORSD is guiding Cleveland and 61 surrounding communities through two significant wet weather issues -- CSOs and stormwater -- at a time when Northeast Ohio is losing population and gaining vacancy. NEORSD is approaching these issues with multi- benefit, multi-partner programs that provide maximum value for regional investment. This presentation focuses on Project Clean Lake -- NEORSD's 25-year, $3 billion program to address CSOs with an emphasis on optimizing the mix of cost-effective gray and green infrastructure to achieve a 98% level of CSO capture. Partners will discuss early action green infrastructure projects and NEORSD's regional approach to stormwater management and CSO control.
Moderator: Dan Rodrigo, Vice President, CDM Smith Inc.
Team Panel:
Kellie Rotunno, Director of Engineering & Construction, NEORSD

Spotlight: Kansas City, Missouri
Kansas City has made a commitment to use green infrastructure as a way to address its combined sewer overflows and to become one of the most sustainable cities in the country. This presentation will provide an overview of the Kansas City's KC Green and Water Works programs. As part of Kansas City's federally-mandated Overflow Control Program, a 744-acre green infrastructure project is underway in one watershed to reduce combined sewer overflows. Green infrastructure is used to intercept stormwater, keeping it out of the combined sewer system, reducing the overflow and the amount of excess water that gets pumped and treated. To further enhance the green infrastructure efforts, the City is working with residents and neighbors to make improvements on their own properties by reducing water consumption and reducing the amount of stormwater that leaves a property through runoff or direct connections to the sewer system. Kansas City's project is one of the largest green infrastructure projects in the United States to reduce combined sewer overflows.

Spotlight: Tucson/Pima County, Arizona
The metropolitan area of Eastern Pima County Arizona is developing and implementing a Regional Optimization Master Plan (ROMP) as a $720 million program to modernize and upgrade the two major RWRD metropolitan treatment facilities. These modernizations will improve the water quality for recharge and reuse, develop a state of the art water quality laboratory, incorporate solar and rainwater harvesting features, and will help to develop habitat and birding features. The Pima County/Tucson team will present the ongoing collaboration with the water research scientists at the University of Arizona, Pima Association of Governments, Tucson Audubon Society and other community organizations to proudly transform these RWRD treatment facilities into a water-centric focus area for the region, capitalizing on the natural beauty of the Santa Cruz River and the award winning area of the Tucson Sweetwater Wetlands.

Spotlight: Resource Recovery
Dwindling availability of water, combined with increases and competition in demand, climate change impacts, trends toward true cost water pricing, among other "drivers," necessitates that urban water planning incorporate consideration of strategies for use conservation, and reuse of treated wastewater and stormwater. Three innovative initiatives will be discussed as illustrations of "win-win" approaches that achieve effective water management (urban water security/sustainability) while facilitating economic development.

Spotlight: Syracuse - Onondaga County
Save the Rain is a comprehensive stormwater management program designed to reduce CSO events impacting the health of Onondaga Lake and its tributaries using both conventional "gray" and green infrastructure technologies. Onondaga County is working in close partnership with the City of Syracuse to implement dozens of green infrastructure projects and two significant stormwater storage projects to comply with a federal order to clean up Onondaga Lake. Over the past year, Onondaga County constructed more than fifty distinct green infrastructure projects in an effort to comply with the newly amended ACJ and to demonstrate to the residents of Onondaga County the multiple benefits of green infrastructure.
