INTRODUCTION

The Shoreline Survey Program-Cycle II conducted by the Bureau of Wastewater Treatment'sCompliance Monitoring Section (eMS) between 1998 and 2013 has resulted in the identificationof 4,392 outfalls including 427 Combined Sewer Overflows (eSO), 357 storm outfalls and otheroutfalls such as highway drains and non-city owned drains. A total of 380 contaminateddischarges representing a flow of 4.16 MOD were identified. Since then, 362 of thesecontaminated discharges have been abated, representing a flow of 4.07 MOD, of which 235discharging pipes are city-owned and the remainder, 127, falls under the jurisdiction ofNYSDEC. Currently NYCDEP has six (6) contaminated discharge pipes under abatementinvestigation, or 0.05 MOD, whereas 12 pipes under the jurisdiction of NYSDEC remain to beabated or 0.04 MOD. Therefore, the benefit has been a 97.8 % abatement rate of contaminateddry weather discharges.

As an enhancement and modification of the two-year cycle of surveying the City's coastal watersunder the Shoreline Survey Program, a "SENTINEL MONITORING PROGRAM" wasdesigned, in cooperation with NYSDEC, to monitor specific sampling areas for fecal colifonn (araw sewage indicator) in water bodies throughout New York City. NYCDEP currently performssentinel monitoring at eighty ambient monitoring stations in accordance with the current SPDESpennit Stonnwater Management Program. When a survey of the shoreline is performed, allshoreline survey protocols described in the Untreated Discharges Section of the SPDES pennitare followed.

The goal of the Sentinel Monitoring Program is the periodic monitoring and sampling ofambient stations throughout New York City's harbor. Quarterly fecal colifonn sampling isconducted at eighty stations. Sampling is performed after a dry antecedent period of forty eighthours and during various tidal cycles and seasons to ensure statistical integrity. The samplingresults are compared to an established baseline. If sampling results are above the baseline triggerlimits, NYCDEP aggressively pursues field investigations and surveillance of the adjacentshoreline of such sentinel stations to determine the source and cause of the contamination.Immediate actions are implemented to abate any found illegal discharges

OPERATIONAL PLAN

For 2013, an interim baseline of200 fecal/l 00 mL, based on NYSDEC water quality standards,was assigned to all 80 sentinel stations. A mini-shoreline investigation was conducted for anyexceedance of that baseline. The interim baseline was selected as a conservative approach due tothe on-going development of new statistically significant baselines consistent with the membranefilter method of analysis for fecal coliform. Using the interim baseline of 200 recallIOD mLresulted in eMS conducting 24 additional investigations than it would have under the oldbaseline numbers.

Because a total of eight results are needed for each station to ensure a statistically significantresult when calculating the new baselines, the 200 fecal/IOO mL baselines will also be usedduring 2014. The 2015 report will detail the new station-specific baseline numbers.

Each site is identified by a station number. Its location in the water is pinpointed using latitudeand longitude coordinates from a Global Positioning System Navigator. Details of the SentinelMonitoring Program such as coordinate system. site map, analytical result, and baseline aredescribed through the following tables, graphs and maps.

Theysuspected the newly installed pipe to be for septic overflow; however our investigationrevealed that the pipe is for roof drain runoff only. Therefore this case is now closed.

OH-005 & Gowanus CanalIn response to a request from the Riverkeeper regarding a possible dry weather dischargeat the outfall designated as OH-005 (Carroll Street & Gowanus Canal), CMS personnelbegan an investigation. A dye test confirmed an illegal connection to OH-005 stormsewer from 430 Carroll Street, a mobile vendor supply company. CMS personnel issued aCommissioner's Order to the property owner Carroll Street Holdings LLC (5 East lih

Street, Manhattan) to cease the illegal discharge and reconnect to the sanitary sewer.

On October 8, 2013, final dye test was performed on the establishment's sink andbathroom to verify the connection to the sanitary sewer. Dye was observed in the sanitarysewer. As a result of the dye test, this case is closed. Please refer to Item Number 5275.

Bay Street & Water Street, Staten Island, PR-172In response to a complaint of sanitary waste in the storm sewer from contactors workinga capital project at Front & Water Streets, CMS conducted an investigation. A dye testrevealed that sanitary waste was discharging into the stonn sewer through a bypasswindow possibly resulting from a sanitary sewer back up. DEP's Bureau of Water andSewer Operations (BWSO) removed the surcharge conditions in the sanitary sewer,resulting in no further discharge to the storm sewer.

There arethree (3) MS4 outfalls: OB-619, OB-609, and OB-610, in the vicinity of the Cedar GroveBeach and five samples for fecal coliform were taken in the sUlTounding area of theoutfa11s. The results were negative for fecal and the contractor, Difagio Industry, wasobserved pumping out ground water to the storm sewer tributary to OB-609 while in theprocess of replacing a water main and sewer. Therefore the discharge observed in theOB-609 sewer line was a result of the dewatering of groundwater. The results of theinvestigation were reported to NYC ~ Department of Health.
