Project Phase Design

Current Activities and Accomplishments This project was reviewed in conjunction with the West Fork Sustainable project as reviewed through the LMCPR study. As recommended by the LMCPR study, the discharge pipe was proposed to be upsized from 36-inch, as shown in the 60% drawings, to 48-inch to increase CSO reduction. However, the West Fork watershed model is being updated to confirm the design sizing of the basin outfall pipe. The model update is anticipated to be completed in 2015.

The design task order has been updated to include special authorization for the basin outfall pipe. The design task order and program contingency request to complete the design beyond 30% is being reviewed by the County for approval. Look Ahead Design will proceed concurrently with the West Fork model update. When results of the West Fork model determine the discharge pipe size, confirmation and the 60% revised submittal will be completed.

Acquisition for 16 easements and portions of 10 parcels required to build 2 stormwater basins and install a stormwater pipe will commence when the revised 60% design is received. The 48-inch basin outfall pipe will require additional easements. Construction funds for MSD’s project will be requested from the Board of County Commissioners in 2017.

Issues and Risks Resolution of the West Fork model calibration may impact design schedule.

As part of the West Fork source control projects for the Lower Mill Creek Partial Remedy (LMCPR), this project is being designed to provide enhancements for the CSO 125 sewershed and includes stream separation, construction of two storm water detention basins, and construction of 5,300 linear feet of 48-inch diameter Basin Outlet Pipe. The North Basin on Kirby Avenue will control storm water originating from 838 acres of predominantly undeveloped land that currently enters the combined sewer through two large stream inlets. The Martha Basin at Martha Avenue and Virginia Avenue will control storm water originating from 52 acres of predominantly undeveloped land currently entering the combined sewer through four inlets in the vicinity of Martha Avenue. The Basin Outlet Pipe will convey the storm water from the two basins at the controlled rate to the West Fork Channel. Construction of the basins and basin outlet pipe will remove over 280 million gallons of stream flow annually from the combined sewer, eliminating it from treatment at the Mill Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, and return it to the natural environment. This project will also remove over 100 million gallons of combined sewer overflow from CSO 125. The West Fork source control projects in the LMCPR will reduce overflow volumes in the entire West Fork watershed by 173 million gallons in a typical year.

The Mill Creek basin lies in the heart of Hamilton County stretching from the Ohio River to the northern Hamilton County border and from Reed Hartman Highway west to Colerain Avenue. The Mill Creek basin contains portions of 32 cities, villages, and townships including: the City of Cincinnati, Springfield Township, Colerain Township, Forest Park, Glendale, Wyoming, Springdale, Sharonville, Blue Ash, Amberley Village, Norwood, and others.

This project consists of installing a total of approximately 400 linear feet of storm sewer segments under West Fork Road to redirect the two streams from the Mount Airy Forest that currently enter the combined sewer system prior to CSO 127 and CSO 128. Off-loading the natural drainage will result in a reduction of 20 million gallons of overflow volume in a typical year at these CSOs and reduce the surcharging in the interceptor pipe which is hydraulically connected to the West Fork Branch channel with grates. The West Fork sustainable watershed project includes multiple projects that have been evaluated and prioritized for inclusion in Phase 1 with the remainder available for consideration in the Lower Mill Creek Partial Remedy (LMCPR). The West Fork watershed was evaluated in full but only three CSO sewersheds were prioritized for the LMCPR . In summary, CSO 125 is the largest CSO in the West Fork Watershed and includes stream separation and detention projects. Once the basin discharge pipe from the detention basins reaches capacity, the emergency overflow discharges to the combined sewer. In addition to addressing CSO 125, two other partial separations will be completed (CSO 128 & 127) to help redirect flow from Mount Airy Forest area to the West Fork Branch. The West Fork source control projects in the LMCPR will reduce overflow volumes in the entire West Fork watershed by 173 million gallons in a typical year. This project is located in the Northside neighborhood of the City of Cincinnati.

This project consists of a new real time control facility (RTC) coupled with regulator improvements at CSO 181 to use in-system storage within the existing 10-foot by 15-foot combined trunk sewer. The primary objective of the Bloody Run source control solution is to remove stormwater from the combined system to reduce the volume and frequency of CSOs and to reestablish flows to the Bloody Run open channel and Mill Creek. Ultimately, this project will capture and separate storm water from approximately 1,200 acres, utilize existing system for storage, and utilize existing opportunities for detention and water quality enhancements. During this first phase of the source control solution, an estimated 93 million gallons of overflows will be eliminated via construction of a real time control facility. This project is located in Bond Hill, St. Bernard, and Elmwood Place.

This project consists of a 1.5 million gallon combined overflow storage tank to control flows at CSO 217. The combined flows will be mitigated by the three detention basins upstream of CSO 217 which will minimize the required size of the storage tank. Stream improvements to Kings Run (3,400 feet) will protect the stream from peak flows. While stream improvements do not provide CSO reduction, they are part of the Lower Mill Creek Partial Remedy. The Kings Run source control project is comprised of three projects (Phases A, B, C) totaling approximately 13,600 feet of new storm, combined, and sanitary sewers, and includes four storm water detention basins, 3,400 linear feet of stream restoration, and a combined overflow storage tank at CSO 217.

This project consists of the demolition/deconstruction of buildings (including garages) on about 74 project parcels in the footprint of the proposed Lick Run Valley Conveyance system project. The area is bounded by Queen City Avenue to the north, State Avenue to the east, Westwood Avenue to the south, and White Street to the west. This project includes the demolition of structures on acquired properties as well as the demolition of structures on properties that have been identified as necessary for the Lick Run Valley Conveyance, but not yet acquired. Since not all properties will be acquired at once, the demolition work will be done in stages as properties are acquired, which will help to limit the negative impacts on the community such as traffic modification, dust, noise, and the vandalism and public safety hazards posed by abandoned structures. The Lick Run source control project is comprised of 12 sewer separation projects, including the Lick Run Valley Conveyance System project (Project ID 11240000), totaling approximately 85,000 feet of new conveyance in both closed and open channel designs. Eight storm water detention basins will mitigate peak flow into the valley conveyance system. The Lick Run source control project will separate approximately 499 million gallons of stormwater from entering the combined sewer system tributary to CSO 5, thereby reducing the CSO volume by 393 million gallons in a typical year.


38 buildings have been demolished to date (Phase A, Phase B, Port Authority and McDonalds), Phase C and Phase D demolition inspections were completed in September 2015. Demolition legislation for Phase E was submitted for review in September 2015.

Look Ahead

The remaining 4 buildings in Phase B are scheduled to be demolished in early 2016. Demolition for Phase C and D is expected to be complete by February 2016. 11 properties (12 structures) will be transferred to the Hamilton County Land Reutilization Corporation for use in a grant program. Issues There are no issues at this time.

The Valley Conveyance System is an approximately 8,000-foot hybrid stormwater conveyance system of open channel and subsurface box conduit, to convey natural drainage and stormwater removed from the combined sewer system. The installation includes a low-flow above ground bioengineered conveyance system paired with a closed box conduit to convey the 100-year flood flows to the Mill Creek safely. The Valley Conveyance System will collect stormwater separated by various hillside systems and convey it to Mill Creek. It will be an innovative asset for community revitalization through the use of best management practices, such as green streets, porous pavement treatments and water quality enhancements. A daylighting feature will be located where the historic Lick Run stream once flowed and will include floodplain benefits for open space and access to an enhanced natural system, engineered to serve multiple community needs and benefits and potential for infill of neighboring sites. Planning for this project has been completed under the MSD Sustainable Infrastructure Program (Project 10180900). The project is located between Queen City and Westwood and between White Street and Mill Creek, in the South Fairmount neighborhood of the City of Cincinnati. It includes storm separation projects on Queen City and State Street.

The Capital Expenditure Core Team approved on July 7, 2015 the authorization to construct the project and authorization to accept the Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry Competitive Allocation Grant for this wet weather improvement project. Right-of-way negotiations are underway to acquire 14 easements and two City-owned properties. Twelve easements are acquired. Remaining properties are in appropriation. Duke Energy is reviewing the plans for potential utility conflicts. Approval to accept the grant by the Board of County Commissioners occurred on September 30, 2015. Look Ahead

An agreement is ongoing with Cincinnati Parks for MSD to maintain an asset installed on the Park’s property. The 100% design will be submitted after all permits are received and right-of-way is finalized. As a condition of the Nationwide Permit, wetland credits will be purchased prior to the start of construction. This project is expected to advertise to bid for construction in 2016.

The Quebec Heights Sewer Separation project utilizes a natural channel for sustainable conveyance of flows to the valley conveyance system. The project includes approximately 5,600 linear feet of naturalized open channel, 2,170 linear feet of separated storm sewer, and an extended wetland detention feature to convey drainage from approximately 83 acres. The Lick Run source control project is comprised of 12 sewer separation projects, including the Lick Run Valley Conveyance System project (Project ID 11240000), totaling approximately 85,000 feet of new conveyance in both closed and open channel designs. Eight storm water detention basins will mitigate peak flow into the valley conveyance system. The Lick Run source control project will separate approximately 499 million gallons of stormwater from entering the combined sewer system tributary to CSO 5, thereby reducing the CSO volume by 393 million gallons in a typical year.

The following asset management projects are in coordination with the Lower Mill Creek Partial Remedy (LMCPR) projects to maximize scope, cost, and community efficiency. Cora Avenue Sewer Replacement - This project proposes to replace approximately 1,138 feet of an 8-inch sewer installed in 1924 that is aging and deteriorating.

Faehr Street Sewer Replacement – This scope of this project, replace 250 feet of a 12-inch combined sewer, has been incorporated into the design and construction of the Quebec Road Sewer Separation project.

Fairmount Avenue Sewer Replacement – This project proposes to replace approximately 1,800 linear feet of 12-inch, 15-inch, and 18-inch existing combined sewer that was installed in 1928 and has deteriorated and resulted in multiple fractures throughout the pipe with new 12-inch, 15-inch, and 18-inch conduit within the same alignment as the existing sewer. Construction is being coordinated with White Street Area Sewer Separation (11240090).

Guerley Road Drainage Improvement (SMU) – This project consists of an earthen detention dam facility, two storm sewer separation locations, removal of invasive plant species, two bio-retention areas, and re-vegetation of the inundation area with native species. The main spillway is a 36-inch diameter pipe that will be connected to the future Sunset Ave. sewer project. The dam is 22 feet high on the upstream side and the emergency spillway is 16 feet high and holds back approximately 100 acre-feet of surface flow.

McKeone Avenue Sewer Replacement – This project proposes to replace 122 linear feet of 15-inch existing sewer with 147 linear feet of 18-inch conduit in a new alignment. The existing 15-inch sewer will be abandoned in place.

Quebec Heights Sewer Rehabilitation – This project will improve the structural integrity of the existing combined sewer system within the Glenway Woods Preserve by lining 6,022 linear feet of combined sewer and repairing 29 manholes.

Quebec Road Sewer Replacement – This project proposes to install 450 feet of new 12-inch sanitary sewer, along with 400 feet of new 15-inch and 16 feet of new 12-inch storm sewer.

Queen City and Cora Avenue Sewer Rehabilitation – This project will improve the structural integrity of the existing combined sewer system within the wooded ravine south of Cora and Fenton Avenues by lining 4,244 linear feet of combined sewer and repairing 7 manholes.

Wahl Terrace Sewer Replacement – This project proposes to replace segments of deteriorated combined sewer, as well as the separation of the storm inlets on Wahl Terrace and the removal of the storm inlets on the combined sewer to the east of Wahl Terrace. The scope of this project is being reconsidered following questions from the County monitor team.
