is the cumulation of a year-round effort to encourage applications, vet nominations, submit nominations to committees for review and prepare today’s program. Please thank them for their efforts.

As you will see in the award program many awards do go unawarded. Up to thirteen WEF awards and thirty-two NYWEA awards can be given during today’s program. If you know someone, a group, municipality, or industry that deserves recognition for their contributions to our community, I encourage you to take the time to nominate them for an award so we can all honor them for their efforts.

Congratulations to all of today’s award recipients. I thank you for your efforts to maintain and improve New York’s water quality. Your effort encourages all of us and highlights to those outside the water industry on the importance of our work to protect the environment and public

Thank you,

Robert Wither, PENYWEA President

Dear NYWEA Members and Friends,As NYWEA President, I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize the achievements and dedication of this exceptional group of people that we recognize today. The Awards Luncheon provides us with the opportunity to recognize the achievements of NYWEA members. Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to meet and work with many members of the Association who continue to demonstrate a willingness to tackle the many challenging issues facing the water industry. On this final day of the 92nd Annual Meeting, it is appropriate for us to take the time to recognize these individuals.

Our theme for the past year was creating a sustainable operator workforce. What we see in the workforce is the pride the industry for those accomplishments that protect water quality and human health. The awardee’s we honor today, all share a common trait of hard work and ingenuity to ensure that the water industry will continue to advance water quality improvements. Society often does not recognize water industry professionals for the improvements in water quality or advancements in facility operations. Please take the time to read the accomplishments of the individuals and municipalities and thank them for their efforts.

The annual awards program is made possible by the efforts of NYWEA’s Awards Committee led this year by Brian Skidmore who took over the interim reins for Melissa Motyl who is on maternity leave. This program today

21

2019 RecipientHon. Mark C. Poloncarz, Erie County Executive

Mark C. Poloncarz is Erie County’s eighth County Executive. Before being elected as County Executive, Mark served as Erie County Comptroller for six years. He is a graduate of Lackawanna Senior High School, the State University of New York at Buffalo, and the University of Toledo’s College of Law. When

time allows, Mark’s recreational pursuits include golf, hockey, cross-country skiing, astronomy, and reading. A former youth hockey coach, he is an avid history buff and student of politics as well.

Now in his third term as County Executive, Mark works every day to ensure Erie County government is focused on its core mission: providing the programs and services that residents and taxpayers demand in an efficient and effective way.

County Executive Poloncarz remains focused on the protection and promotion of the health and wellbeing of county residents. In 2018, Mark’s leadership was critical in passing new local laws covering public health, governmental ethics, and fair housing. In addition, in 2018 Mr. Poloncarz re-affirmed Erie County’s commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement, with Erie County government already reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 28%.

Mark is also the First Chairman of the NYS Association of Counties Climate Resiliency Committee, joining with elected officials statewide in addressing climate change and working collaboratively to create more resilient communities. He also serves as the Vice-Chair of the National Association of Counties Large Urban County Caucus, collaborating with peers from across the nation to advocate for the needs of large counties.

County Executive Mark Poloncarz is a true advocate for environmental stewardship. This is no surprise to anyone that witnessed his impassioned keynote speech at WNYWEA’s 2015 Greater Buffalo Environmental Conference. Of specific focus has been a holistic set of policies that positively affect many aspects of water quality:

• Infrastructure Investments: the Erie County Sewer Districts have invested tens of millions during the eight (8) years of Mr. Poloncarz’s leadership, including:

22

2019 Annual Awards

• Rush Creek Interceptor (RCI) Project: in conjunction with mergers effectuated in the 2000’s, $16 million was invested to eliminate several facilities and three (3) SSOs inherited from other municipalities. This project was awarded the NYS APWA’s 2017 Environmental Project of the Year.

• Village of Hamburg: the County implemented a multi-phase plan to mitigate / eliminate overflows inherited from a local Village, which in 2015 led to the termination of the Village’s order on consent with the NYSDEC.

• Initiatives for a Smart Economy (I4SE) 2.0: this document (and its predecessor, I4SE) sets forth Mr. Poloncarz’s vision for economic progress in Erie County. Numerous initiatives address the environment. The RCI was a major project from the initial I4SE document.

• Stormwater: under the County Executive’s leadership, the Western New York Stormwater Coalition has advanced key public education, technological (GIS mapping), and collaborative efforts to address USEPA Phase II stormwater regulations.

• Microbeads: in 2015, County Executive Poloncarz signed into law a local ban on products containing microbeads. This local law was the first in the state and a harbinger to federal action on microplastics.

• Climate change: Mr. Poloncarz has been a leader on addressing the potential impacts of climate change (including on water quality/quantity). He issued Executive Orders regarding “Enforcement of the Paris Climate Agreement” for County operations and “Creation of a Community Climate Change Task Force. In 2018, Mr. Poloncarz was named the first chairman of NYSAC’s Climate Resiliency Committee. Erie County was recently designated a Clean Energy Community by NYSERDA.

• HHW: in efforts to keep household hazardous wastes (HHW) out of storm drains, wastewater systems, and other improper disposal locations, Erie County increased the number of drop-off events in 2019 and converted to a more efficient reservation system. Further enhancements are being analyzed.

• LEWPA: during Mr. Poloncarz’s first term in office, the Lake Erie Watershed Protection Alliance (LEWPA) was formed. LEWPA collaboratively addresses water quality issues affecting


23

the New York State portion of the Lake Erie watershed and its shoreline.

• Habitat Restorations: in coordination with a number of partners, Erie County has been a leader in addressing the Buffalo River “Area of Concern” (AOC), including creation of County owned parks along the river. In the last five years, all of these parks have gone through significant improvements.

• Brownfields: the County Executive has been a key leader in transforming what was once the fourth largest steel plant in the world from a vacant/blighted parcel to a vibrant place for business.

BENEFICIAL USE OF BIOSOLIDS AWARDThis award recognizes significant contributions in the development and implementation of cost-effective, environmentally safe and publicly acceptable biosolids beneficial use practices which recycle nutrients, improve soil conditions, or otherwise conserve valuable natural resources.

2019 RecipientsCity of Watertown (> 5 mgd)

City of Geneva (< 5 mgd)

City of Watertown to date, through a partnership with Cassella Organics, 4,150 wet tons of the City of Watertown’s Class B biosolids have been land applied to agricultural fields which would have otherwise gone to landfill. Since 2017, the program has grown from 2 participating farms to over 10, each within a 15-mile radius of the City’s plant. Over half of the City’s annual production of biosolids has been land applied.

As of October 2019, land application of biosolids has saved the City of Watertown over $2,400 compared to the cost of landfill disposal. This is in addition to savings the plant has realized by decommissioning its incinerator. Mark Crandall, Watertown’s Chief Operator, and his crew are credited with fine tuning the operation of their digesters to produce consistently high quality Class B biosolids.

Under the direction of Casella Organics, with full cooperation from the plant, the program has been 100% compliant with all Class B Regulations. A lot of work goes into establishing a successful Class

24

2019 Annual Awards

B Land Application Program. Casella Organics holds and maintains the permits, including annual soil sampling, flagging setbacks and testing for depth to groundwater and bedrock, as well as submitting the Annual Report, ensuring that all DEC regulations are followed carefully. Whether its driving the tractor to help with spreading or delivering and moving equipment on weekends, Casella Organics does what it takes to make this program a success.

This award also recognizes the farmers who work with the material once it arrives on their fields. They follow Casella’s guidance carefully and there have been no issues with crossed setbacks or piles left for longer than 30 days. As a result, they are producing a robust, healthy crop with increased yield the following season.

The City of Geneva produces Biosolids at the Marsh Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (MCWWTP), a conventional activated sludge secondary treatment plant located in Geneva, NY. The MCWWTP serves the City of Geneva and portions of the surrounding towns of Geneva, Fayette, and Waterloo. In 2010, the City made an investment to install an Autothermal-Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion (ATAD) system at the facility to replace an antiquated composting operation and produce on average 1.2 dry tons per day (DTPD) of Class-A biosolids. The project went on-line in 2015 and the ATAD system was officially recognized as a Class A process by the NYSDEC in 2017. The installation of the ATAD system has mitigated several key risk factors associated with traditional composting and/or landfilling activities including vector attraction, contaminated runoff, and unwanted odor. The end product is essentially neutralized of pathogenic and odorous organic content, reducing the likelihood of vector attraction.

Since 2010, the City of Geneva has been proactively marketing the biosolids product to secondary users (farmers, landscapers, nurseries, etc.) and trying to identify beneficial outlets for the biosolids. By 2017 the City had identified four separate entities willing to accept the biosolids. Each of these four entities are registered with NYSDEC as permitted recipients and the City maintains documentation for each user, including type of application, application density (tons/acre), and means of excess material storage on site. The first permitted recipient is Casella Organics, where the material is used as daily landfill cover at the Ontario County Landfill. The second permitted recipient is Organix Green Industries where up to 1,400 tons can be used annually at their composting facility.


25

The next permitted recipient is Thermal Process Systems, Inc. which is looking at the viability of using the material for composting and soil amendment. The final permitted recipient is O’Connell Farms, LLC, which is a corn and soybean farm that had agreed to take approximately 600 tons annually to land apply to their fields at a rate of 2.5 – 3.0 tons/ acre.

For the past 1 ½ years, the City of Geneva’s biosolids has been diverted from landfilling and has been beneficially used at one of the permitted recipients. In the Fall of 2019, O’Connell Farms received its first shipment of biosolids for land application.

TECHNICAL PAPERSThe Kenneth Allen Memorial AwardThis award is given annually for a paper describing work of a research or engineering nature.

Linn H. Enslow Memorial AwardAwarded for an outstanding paper presented at the Association’s Annual Meeting or published in a professionally recognized technical journal by a person or persons, not members of the NYWEA.

2019 RecipientsJohn A. ManciniFor his presentation titled, Ethics for Wastewater Professionals: A Mandatory Job Requirement

John Mancini gave his ethics presentation at the 2019 NYWEA Annual Meeting in his capacity as Counsel for the New York Conference of Mayors (NYCOM). As Counsel, John provides legal assistance and training to city and village officials on a variety of municipal issues, particularly those pertaining to labor relations, civil service,

employee discipline and government ethics. John earned his B.A. from Hartwick College and his J.D. from Albany Law School, and is licensed to practice law in the State of New York.

Awarded to organizations that demonstrate success in developing a culture that encourages and rewards sustainable ‘triple bottom-line’ decision making at all levels and departments of the organization.

2019 RecipientVillage of SaugertiesThe Village of Saugerties was impacted by three major storm events - Irene, Lee, and Sandy. During each the Village had to shut down their water system because of turbidity in the Blue Mountain Reservoir, their primary source of water, which is also a source for a large portion of the Town of Saugerties. This turbidity clogged the filters at the water treatment plant, forcing them to take the system off line, disassemble the equipment to clean the filters, then reassemble, leaving the plant offline for extended periods of time. As a result, the community was left to rely on emergency supplies to provide potable water to residents, a supply provided through the village’s three-million gallon water tank, sufficient for only a four-day supply of treated water based on the average daily demand.

The Village undertook a two-pronged approach to deal with this issue:

1. Installation of a pre-filtering clarifier at the Village of Saugerties potable water treatment plant. Pre-filter clarifier units are being added to the existing water treatment process to remove suspended solids and microorganisms in water from the Saugerties Reservoir during times of high turbidity.

2. Exploration of secondary groundwater sources and subsequent drilling, pumping and disinfectant equipment, and piping infrastructure for this secondary water source, on a site within the Town of Saugerties. Test wells were drilled and tests have confirmed sufficient quantity and quality of ground water. The project is currently in the design phase.

The Town of Saugerties, in conjunction with the Village’s work, has taken a broad approach to protecting important community infrastructure through a series of culvert improvement projects that protect the Blue Mountain Reservoir.

2019 Annual Awards

WASTEWATER FACILITY OPERATIONS

Uhl T. Mann AwardThis award is given annually by the Association for excellence in treatment plant operations and maintenance.

2019 RecipientsKiah Miller – Maintenance (> 50 mgd)Douglas Haussel – Operations (10.1 – 50.0 mgd)Jeffrey Bryant – Operations (> 50 mgd)

Kiah Miller is a dedicated and conscientious wastewater operator who has over 27 years with New York City Department of Environmental Protection and is certified as a Grade 4A Public Sewage Plant Operator. Mr. Miller spent most of his career working at the North River WRRP where he currently is the Plant Chief. As the Plant Superintendent, Mr. Miller is responsible for all maintenance at the entire facility. This includes preventative maintenance (PM) and corrective maintenance (CM) as well as modifications. He has made great efforts to update and revise PMs for the plant. He works very closely with plant operators, machinists, electricians, and instrumentation technicians to overhaul and maintain all plant equipment. Through his excellent management, there has been less down time of equipment and an overall increase in productivity levels.

Mr. Miller takes on maintenance challenges that he can do with in-house staff. Many of these jobs would have normally been done under job order contracts. Performing maintenance with in-house staff saves the NYC money and also increases the morale of the plant staff. Some of these jobs were rehabilitation of the secondary screen conveyor, installation of new grease gate actuators, and the installation of new service water pumps.

Douglas Haussel has been employed by Suffolk County Department of Public Works (SCDPW) at Suffolk County Sewer District 3 (SD3), Bergen Point WWTP in West Babylon, NY since 1980.

Collection System Operation & Maintenance Award

This award is given to a facility and its Manager in recognition of an outstanding Operation & Maintenance program.

2019 RecipientErie County Division of Sewerage ManagementThe Erie County Division of Sewerage Management (ECDSM) maintains overall responsibility for the seven (7) Erie County Sewer Districts (ECSDs), including approximately 1,100 miles of sanitary sewers, almost 100 pumping stations, and associated collection system appurtenances.

The ECDSM has recognized the importance, and appropriately prioritized funding and resources, toward collection system operation and maintenance (O&M) and infiltration/inflow (I/I) elimination. The ECDSM has implemented a multi-pronged approach to manage the collection systems assets of the ECSDs. While traditional O&M techniques are employed, the following programs were specifically developed by the ECSDs:

• Private Property Inspection Program to address private property I/I. This is one of the most robust ongoing private property inspection programs in New York State (NYS) and was featured in the Fall 2019 edition of Clear Waters magazine.

• Developer I/I Rehabilitation Program: The first of its kind in NYS, for new residential subdivisions, private developers are required to remove four (4) times their proposed peak flows through I/I mitigation.

• Annual Collection System Investments dedicated to sewer rehabilitation have grown to $4.35 million in the 2020 budget.

• Overflow eliminations for assets inherited from other municipalities, including the Rush Creek Interceptor project– NYS American Public Works Association’s 2017 “Environmental Project of the Year”.

• Centralized staffing and safety (recipient of the 2013 NYWEA Collection Systems Safety Award) are integral to ECDSM’s success.

92nd Annual Meeting

43

Dear NYWEA Members,

I would personally like to thank you all for attending this year’s Annual Awards Luncheon. Please take the time to congratulate each of the well deserving recipients! As you feel the weight of this program and read through it one theme should become abundantly clear, NYWEA has a tremendous amount of award-winning water professionals. Those highlighted in this program are only a percentage of our members representing the many aspects of the profession, from Operators, Technicians, Scientists, Young Professionals, Elected Officials, Public Servants, and Engineers. All together, you represent the pipeline providing a constant flow of environmental advocacy and professional education to our members and the public with a common goal of protecting our most precious resource, Clean Water. One aspect of the awards which deserves note is the group of people reviewing the many entries for these awards, without the Awards Committee lead by Brian Skidmore and the countless hours put in to the reviews, none of this would be possible. Even though this program is packed full of awards there are still many which go unawarded. One of my goals for 2020 will be to have a nomination for every NYWEA award as well as every WEF award. Please glance through the program and make note of someone you may think is deserving.

Chances are we all know someone who has been working in the industry for years and is due for some prominent recognition. If you’re not sure who to reach out to get the ball rolling on a nomination, please speak with Melissa Motyl, Brian Skidmore, myself, or any other of the Awards Committee members or any member of the Board of Directors and we will help provide further information.

With the 92nd Annual Conference wrapping up, I know some of you may be preparing to head on to your next destination however there are still some excellent presentations happening this afternoon regarding Resiliency, Sustainability and Thermal Hydrolysis Process Applications. NYWEA thanks you again for your continued support and congratulations to all of today’s award recipients.

Sincerely,William Nylic

President-Elect
