RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Research and
Monitoring, Environmental Protection Agency, have
been grouped into five series. These five broad
categories were established to facilitate further
development and application of environmental
technology. Elimination of traditional grouping
was consciously planned to foster technology
transfer and a maximum interface in related
fields. The five series are:
1. Environmental Health Effects Research
2. Environmental Protection Technology
3. Ecological Research
4. Environmental Monitoring
5. Socioeconomic Environmental studies
This report has been assigned to the ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY series. This series
describes research performed to develop and
demonstrate instrumentation, equipment and
methodology to repair or prevent environmental
degradation from point and non-point sources of
pollution. This work provides the new or improved
technology required for the control and treatment
of pollution sources to meet environmental quality
standards.

ABSTRACT
A detailed examination was conducted of ten (10) combined sewer
overflow systems within that portion of the Hudson River Basin
lying within the Interstate Sanitation District. The work included
the identification and study of these combined sewer systems in
order to determine their location, physical characteristics, and
service areas.
The procedure employed included the physical examination of each
system's regulators to determine their location, type, dimensions,
and condition. A study of available records was made to determine
where possible, trunk line flow, interceptor line design capacity,
and characterization of the drainage area served by each regulator
which included population and land use. Ten (10) summary tables
and forty (40) regulator location figures are included in the report,
Dry weather and wet weather sampling was also conducted. Bypass
loadings for several pollution parameters have been calculated
during storm flow conditions based upon this sampling. Recommen-
dations for minimizing combined sewer overflows are included.
This report was submitted in fulfillment of Contract Number 68-01-
00553 under the partial sponsorship of the Office of Enforcement
and General Counsel, Environmental Protection Agency and is pub-
lished by the Office of Research and Monitoring, Environmental
Protection Agency.

SECTION I
CONCLUSIONS
From the information collected in the course of this study,
much insight was gained into the status of the ten sewage
collection systems contained in that portion of the Hudson
River Basin which lies within the District waters of the
Interstate Sanitation Commission. Based upon this study, we
have reached the following conclusions:
1) The general condition of the ten sewage systems which
were studied indicates that more attention needs to be given
to the operation, performance, efficiency, and maintenance
of the regulators.
2) Within six of the systems inspected, over 25% of the
regulators were inoperable. The severity of conditions which
resulted in regulator inoperability ranged from the need for
adjustments to the need for complete overhaul.
3) In far too many cases, the personnel assigned to regula-
tor maintenance duty are not properly equipped with either
maintenance tools or the necessary safety equipment to
properly service the regulators. A noticeable lack of under-
standing on the part of many of the maintenance personnel as
to the purpose and proper operation of regulators was evident
during field inspection. Additionally, many of the regulators
were intentionally jammed or chained in the open position to
maximize wet weather flow to the treatment plant. This can
create a three-fold problem of (a) an imbalance of sewage
mixture from each regulator drainage basin during wet weather
flow; (b) an unreasonably high wet weather flow to the treat-
ment plant which in turn minimizes the effective treatment of
this sewage; and (c) a surcharge of the interceptor system
with associated local flooding of sewage into streets and
basements.
4) With the exception of the Hoboken, New Jersey sewage
system, ingress and egress to regulators were through man-
holes. The small size of the manholes required that person-
nel had to climb down inadequately sized ladder rungs for
access to the regulator chamber This made maintenance and
inspection of equipment difficult and in many cases dangerous.
Such conditions are definite deterrents to creating an envi-
ronment conducive to proper and systematic maintenance of
regulator equipment
5) In many cases, adequate data relating to demographic and
hydraulic characteristics for each regulator drainage basin
-------
were either not available or were outdated or incomplete.
6) No remote sensing devices are presently installed on any
of the regulators or tide gates to indicate whether the regu-
lator or tide gate is operating properly Thus, only time-
consuming inspection techniques can be utilized to determine
when and where a regulator gate, orifice, or tide gate is
jammed or clogged and creating a condition of prolonged dry
weather bypassing or salt water intrusion into the system.
7) It is strongly felt that in comparison to the attention
given to treatment plant efficiencies, too little attention
is given to the operation, performance, maintenance, and
efficiency of regulators which are a vital part of the sewage
system. In fact, the sewage network should be treated as an
integral part of the total system of collection and treatment.
8) Field inspections of tide gates and regulators revealed
instances where control equipment, i.e., hand cranks and
chains, were so severely corroded that they could impair the
proper functioning of the equipment. In these cases, tide
gates or regulators could jam during dry weather flow such
that effluent would bypass the treatment plant.
9) Wet weather sampling conducted at Regulator B-l, located
in the Newtown Creek Treatment Plant drainage basin, exhibited
a very pronounced first flush phenomena. The quantities of
pollutants such as solids, BOD, and oil and grease which are
bypassed during a storm are extremely high; for example,
during the storm of June 16, 1972, which spanned a 4-hour
period and had a peak intensity of 0.65 inches in 1 hour,
over 1,000,000 pounds of total suspended solids, 36,000
pounds of BOD, and 180,000 pounds (24,000 gallons) of oil
and grease were bypassed. During this period of bypassing
(about 4 hours), approximately 30 times as much suspended
solids were bypassed as are discharged from the treatment
plant in a full 24-hour normal dry weather flow period. The
respective maximum concentrations (Mg/L) for TSS. BOD, and
oil and grease were 20,000, 465, and 4,300 during this storm.
These values, together with those found for heavy metals,
confirm that a high priority needs to be given to the pre-
treatment of industrial wastes and source control to minimize
their deposition on streets and subsequent contamination of
runoff water
10) In view of the tremendous quantities of pollutants
bypassed during the rainfall from this combined sewer system
it does not seem reasonable to debate whether secondary
treatment plants should be designed for 80, 85, or 90% BOD
or suspended solids removal when in fact the small increments
-------
gained in this range are completely overshadowed by the
bypassing occurring at regulators during wet weather flow
11) The necessary improvement in the quality of receiving
waters and the reopening of beaches will not be accomplished
by the multi-billion dollar treatment plant upgrading and
expansion program now going on within the District, and the
monies spent for this construction in large part will be
wasted if means of mitigating the effects of combined sewers
are not found.
-------
SECTION II
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon the results of the study and the conclusions
reached, the following are strongly recommended:
1) Greater emphasis needs to be placed on the establishment
of significant programs to better maintain and regulate the
overall performance and hence efficiency of combined sewer
systems. Maintenance programs, inspection procedures, and
surveillance networks need to be either established or better
formulated to insure that optimal amounts of highly concen-
trated sewage be intercepted for treatment purposes.
2) Conventional methods of evaluating sewage treatment
plant efficiencies by means of percentage removal of pollu-
tants leaving compared to those entering the treatment plants
need to be revised. Attention should also be given to
evaluating the overall efficiency of a sewage network by
considering the bypass discharge from regulators during dry
and wet weather flows together with the effluent from treat-
ment plants. The percent removal of pollutants would then
be based on the quantity of sewage exiting from the entire
system, i.e., treatment plant and regulator bypass as com-
pared to the sewage entering the system.
3) Access to regulator equipment needs improvement.
Certainly, in the design and construction of new regulators,
the following should be provided: larger entrance openirigs
to chambers, larger work areas within chambers, and space
for the installation of lighting equipment within chambers.
Emphasis should also be given to using the latest available
construction materials which can best withstand the corrosive
environment found within regulator chambers.
4) Initiation of training programs for regulator maintenance
personnel for the purpose of giving instruction and stressing
the importance of proper maintenance and operation of regu-
lators is needed. Sufficient maintenance and safety equipment
and supplies should also be provided to all regulator mainte-
nance crews.
5) Increased types of information should be kept on a current
basis for each regulator This should include demographic and
hydraulic data as well as information concerning bypass flows
6) In addition to establishing a scheduled maintenance
program for regulators and tide gates by trained field per-
sonnel, methods for minimizing the effects from combined
-------
sewers on receiving waters need to be developed. In this
regard, the following are suggested:
(a) Consideration should be given to the installation of a
monitoring system to signal to a central location whether a
regulator or tide gate is in the open or closed position so
that non-essential bypassing can be eliminated.
(b) Consideration should be given to flushing sewers during
dry weather periods in order to eliminate solids buildup that
may occur. Means of flushing, whether by use of small slugs
of potable water or sewage treatment plant effluent recircu-
lated into the system, need to be examined on a case-by-case
basis.
(c) Consideration should be given to in-line sewage storage
and optimization of regulator settings to enable as much of
the first flush as possible to flow to treatment plants before
the combined sewage is diverted by the regulators directly to
the receiving waters,
(d) Consideration should be given to the construction of
two dikes -- one extending from Fort Wadsworth on Staten
Island and one from Mortons Point on Coney Island (see Figure
1). The purpose of these dikes would be to divert the flows
which come through the Narrows into the Lower Bay away from
the beaches for a longer period of time, thus improving the
water quality at the beaches during and following wet weather
periods.
7) A high priority should be given to the pretreatment of
industrial wastes to remove heavy metals and other harmful
constituents to the maximum extent possible. This will not
only reduce their detrimental effects on treatment plants
but also prevent them from being directly discharged into
receiving waterways by regulators which bypass during wet
weather conditions.
8) Consideration should be given to the control of contam-
inants and debris in street runoff water- This should
include improved street cleaning operations as well as
source controls.
9) The type of information developed in this study of ten
sewerage systems is needed for the other areas of the Inter-
state Sanitation District. A similar study should be
extended to these areas as soon as possible so that a defini-
tive evaluation of the combined sewer overflow problem during
dry and wet weather periods can be"made.

INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW
A sizable portion of the sewer systems within the Interstate
Sanitation District are of the combined type and their
effluents represent a major water pollution problem. As such,
a comprehensive understanding and evaluation of these systems
is a prerequisite to the achievement of water quality
standards for the combined sewer receiving waters in the
Interstate Sanitation District.
One of the recommendations of the Third Session Conference
on the Hudson River (1) was that the Interstate Sanitation
Commission undertake an examination of combined sewer over-
flows as the first stage in the development of a remedial
program for this area. The Commission initiated its program
which was subsequently augmented by a grant from the United
States Environmental Protection Agency The ten combined
sewer systems investigated in this study were:
1. Bayonne, New Jersey
2. Hoboken, New Jersey
3. Jersey City East Side, New Jersey
4. West New York Joint Outlet, New Jersey
5. Newtown Creek, New York
6. Owls Head, New York
7 North River, New York
8. Port Richmond, New York
9. Red Hook, New York
10. Yonkers, New York
The report of this study includes findings, conclusions, and
recommendations, together with identification and examination
of regulators in these ten combined sewer systems. The pro-
cedures employed included inspection and examination of the
combined sewer regulators to determine their locations, types,
dimensions, and conditions and a study of available records
concerning regulator hydraulic capacity as well as land use
data and population densities of the drainage areas served
by these regulators.
A sampling and analysis program was also conducted at two
regulators to establish characteristic flow curves, analyze
effluent species, and determine loadings for dry and wet
weather flows Grab samples of regulator flows were obtained
at appropriate intervals Composite samples, when required,
were formed by combining these samples. All samples were
analyzed by laboratory methods as specified in "Standard
Methods of Water and Wastewater Analysis" (2) to determine
their respective concentrations Effluent loadings could
25
-------
then be estimated by utilizing this data together with total
runoff data as calculated by the rational formula Q=CIA
where:
Q = peak runoff
C = runoff coefficient
I = average rainfall intensity
A = drainage area
Section XVI describes the details involved in applying the
rational method to this study
In coordination with the preparation of this study, a liter-
ature search was conducted to ascertain pertinent background
information.
A questionnaire study was conducted by the American Public
Works Association. Their first report (3) was concerned with
the extent of the overflow problem and its effect on the
Nation's waterways. Some of the findings in their report
were:
(a) A total of 10,025 regulators located at combined sewer
overflow stations or other locations were used by the 641
jurisdictions surveyed. The most common regulator type was
of the weir construction or static. The least common was the
mechanical regulator, i.e., hydraulic cylinder, manual or
automatic valves.
(b) The operational performance of all the regulators was
rated about equal.
(c) Dry weather overflows were reported by 96% of the juris-
dictions. Half of these overflows were the result of improper
regulator operation and half by insufficient sewer capacity
(d) Few of the jurisdictions surveyed monitored the quantity
or quality of the combined sewer overflow.
In 1970, the American Public Works Association issued a second
report (4) This study was primarily concerned with the
design, operation, maintenance, and utilization of combined
sewer overflow regulators. Several factors relative to the
design and operation of regulators were found to be contrib-
utory to the pollution of receiving waters. They are :
(a) Regulator malfunctions which allow overflows during dry
weather flow periods
26
-------
(b) Regulator malfunctions which allow overflow to continue
for periods considerably longer than that required to pro-
tect the treatment plant.
(c) Tide gate malfunctions which fail to protect inter-
ceptor lines from the inflow or receiving waters.
This report also recommends improved regulator practices
to reduce pollution. These include:
(a) Use of regulators which are sensitive to variations
in hydraulic flow
(b) Improved operations and maintenance procedures to in-
crease efficiency and performance of existing regulators
(c) Integration of individual regulators into a total system
so as to have complete management of the regulators, inter-
ceptors, pump stations, and treatment plants.
(d) Use of instrumentation and remote control functions
for control of interceptor flows upstream of regulators.
Both of the APWA reports recognize that the proper opera-
tion of the overflow regulator is a key factor in insuring
the efficient operation of treatment plants and other con-
trol facilities
Automated data acquisition and remote control functions of
combined sewer systems have been reported in the literature.
The City of Cincinnati (5) uses telemetered monitoring to
detect regulator malfunctions and excess overflows. A
visual display is utilized to locate the region of the over-
flows The Minneapolis-St. Paul Sanitary District (6) has
demonstrated reductions in combined sewer overlow pollution
by utilizing a rather sophisticated regulator control system.
The incidence of overflow was reduced by 88%. The project
includes a computerized data acquisition and control system
that permits remote control of modified regulators Based
upon rainfall and wastewater level measurements, storm
flows can be diverted to interceptors for temporary stor-
age.
The Cities of Detroit (7) and Seattle (8) have completed
projects similar to a system developed in Minneapolis-St
Paul (6) They incorporate rain and sewer level sensors,
computerized data acquisition and remote control operation
of regulators and pump stations. The monitoring system
provides data on which regulators are slow, overloaded, or
27
-------
blocked as well as permitting first flush interception,
selective retention and overflow.
The American Public Works Association has also published
a manual of practice for combined sewer regulation and man-
agement (9). It provides guidelines for designs, application,
instrumentation, operation, and maintenance of static, semi-
automatic and automatic regulators. New concepts in regu-
lator design are also presented. These include: fluidic
devices, swirl (vortex) regulator/separators, spiral (he-
lical) flow regulator/separators, stilling ponds, high side
spill weirs, broadcrested inflatable fabric dams, and over-
all system remote positive control.
A study (10) of the management and control of combined sewer
overlows presents various techniques and systems to control
these overflows. These methods include physical-chemical
treatment of overflows (11,12), underwater storage (13),
or storm standby tanks (14) Other advance control systems
include high-rate dual media filtration (15. 16), micro-
straining (17), and screening/dissolved air flotation (18)
Additional studies (19,20, 21) have been performed relating
urban storm runoff and the stormwater infiltration problem.
It should be noted that in these studies as well as those
mentioned previously, extrapolation of data is quite dif-
ficult due to differences in land use, population, and
sewer system sizes.
Preliminary pollution model studies of the New York Harbor
Area performed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers (22) have
shown that two dikes - one extending from Fort Wadsworth on
Staten Island and the other from Nortons Point on Coney
Island (See Figure I) would tend to divert combined sewer
overflow from the surrounding beaches as well as increasing
the time before the overflow reached the beaches during and
following wet weather periods. These studies have shown
that additional effort is warranted to optimize the loca-
tion, size and orientation of these dikes.

SECTION V
GENERAL DISCUSSION
The importance of safety cannot be overemphasized during
field operations. Safety procedures and equipment must be
specified in any inspection work involving entrance to
regulator structures.
Safety Equipment:
The safety equipment utilized in the inspection and sampling
of regulators in the Hudson River Conference study area is
illustrated in Figure 9-A. The following is a list of the
equipment used to permit safe inspection by crews within a
regulator facility
1. Oxygen Deficiency and Explosion Meter
2. Steel Tip Work Shoes and Rubber Boots
3. Explosion Proof Lights
4. Hard Hat
5. Rain Wear (rain garments and hip boots)
6. Rubber Gloves
7 Safety Harness and Lines
8. Manhole Cover Hooks
9. Road Safety Cones
10. Barricades
11. Flashing Hazard Warning Lights
It is strongly recommended that maintenance personnel for the
purpose of inspection familiarize themselves with the proper
use, limitations, and maintenance of this equipment prior to
utilizing them in any inspection activities.
Regulator Inspection Procedure:
A typical inspection involves three major phases after
verifying the regulator location with the use of map coor-
dinates. These three phases are as follows:
Phase 1 - Regulator Site Safety Inspection
Phase 2 - Inspection of Regulator Equipment
Phase 3 - Reports and/or Correction of Malfunctions
Phase 1 involves the positioning of road safety cones and
hazard lights. A traffic controller should be used when
manholes are located on roads. The oxygen deficiency and
explosion meter is utilized to determine the air quality
within the chamber Usually the probe is inserted into the
vent port on the manhole to take this measurement. If con-
ditions are within prescribed safety requirements, the manhole
29
-------

FIG. 9-B, FIELD PERSONNEL ENTERING MANHOLE FOR REGULATOR INSPECTION

-------
cover is removed to allow for additional venting and to
permit entry of the crew. Prior to entry into the regulator
chamber, the inspector should don the proper safety equipment.
A minimum of two men should remain on the surface, one fully
outfitted with a duplicate set of equipment in the event of
an emergency
Phase 2 consists of inspecting the regulator equipment,
verifying the proper operation of the regulator and associated
components, and checking the tide gate for proper seal
Visual inspections are also made of the chamber and of its
condition, i.e., quantities of debris, oil, grit, and grease.
Phase 3 consists of recording all pertinent observations
regarding nominal performance of the regulator and of any
improper conditions Sufficient information should be
reported to permit repair crews to correct failures or clean
regulators without additional utilization of the inspection
crew-
General Inspection Observations:
s
The performance of maintenance operations on regulator systems
was the most predominant problem reported by inspection crews.
Access to regulator chambers was generally difficult due to a
combination of bulky safety equipment (i.e., Scott Air Packs)
and small manhole entry points. Ladder rungs proved to be too
narrow and most times provided inadequate footing for inspec-
tion crews Lighting within the regulator chambers was poor
and made visual observations difficult Since most of the
regulators were located beneath heavily travelled streets,
inspections had to be scheduled to minimize traffic inter-
ference .
i
Bypass lines had small manholes which made access difficult.
As a result, tide gates were usually poorly maintained and
accumulation of wood and other debris was common. (A coarse
bar screen at the exit of the outfall would probably limit the
entrance of this material into the bypass line.) Chains used
to lift tide gates were missing or usually severely damaged
due to corrosion and, as a result, proper seating of the tide
gate was difficult to check. High tides occurring during
daylight working hours severely limited the inspection crew
from maintaining the tide gates.
Float wells usually had large accumulations of grit and grease.
These deposits could not be cleaned easily because of the lack
of high pressure water lines to wash down the chamber
Regulators which were inspected and maintained on a routine
basis by full-time regulator inspection crews provided more
31
-------
efficient flow control to the sewage treatment plant.
A regulator typical of those found in this survey is shown
in Figure 10-A. Figure 10-B is somewhat typical of the
outfalls observed in this study

SECTION VI
BAYONNE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT DRAINAGE BASIN
BAYONNE, N.J
The sewage system for Bayonne consists of eighteen mechan-
ical float actuated regulators. The float position for
these regulators is determined by the height of flow in the
upstream interceptor line. Of the eighteen regulators with-
in this system, overflow from ten regulators bypass to New-
ark Bay, five bypass to the Kill Van Kull, and three bypass
to Upper New York Harbor
Sewage from the West Side interceptor line flows by gravity
to a pump station at East 23rd Street. It is then pumped
eastward through a 30" 0 force main to a junction chamber
on the East Side interceptor line. Storm water trunk lines
have been installed along Avenue E, from East 27th Street
south to East 8th Street. This storm flow is then pumped
to the Kill Van Kull through a 300 MGD capacity pump sta-
tion. A storm water pump station (shown on Figure 11) lo-
cated at Garretson Avenue at the Kill Van Kull, acts to re-
lieve flooding conditions from its low level drainage basin
The maintenance personnel for the Bayonne sewage system con-
sist of sewage treatment plant workers used on a rotational
work assignment basis Maintenance apparatus was somewhat
limited, i.e., pick-up trucks, and the lack of sufficient
equipment hindered inspection or maintenance-
During the Commission's inspections, nine of the system's
eighteen regulators were found to be inoperable. A follow-
up telephone conversation with the plant superintendent
indicated that all regulators had been placed back into
operable condition since our field investigation.
Additional information relative to the regulators found in
this drainage area is shown in Table 1 and Figures 11
through 12.

SECTION VII
HOBOKEN SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT DRAINAGE BASIN
HOBOKEN, N J
The Hoboken sewage system consists of seven regulators with
two pump stations. All regulators have a dual system of
mechanical float actuated hinged gates The float posi-
tion is determined by the flow height in the trunk line
All regulators bypass to the Hudson River during overflow
conditions.
The regulators were designed with easy access, and all have
large hinged metal doors opening to a staircase with ample
head-room. Electric lighting and high ceilings provide
satisfactory conditions in which to service and maintain
the equipment
The North pump station contains three electrically driven
centrifugal pumps, each having a capacity of 4500 gpm.
The South pump station contains three electrically driven
centrifugal pumps, each having a capacity of 6200 gpm.
This station has a 15" 0 emergency outfall.
Maintenance personnel for the Hoboken system consist of
sewage treatment plant personnel. Maintenance apparatus
includes a pick-up truck having limited equipment. As a
result, maintenance and inspection procedures were hindered
Inspection of the Hoboken sewage system indicated all regu-
lators to be non-operable. A follow-up telephone conversa-
tion with the plant superintendent indicated that repair
work is currently in operation on the north-end regulators.
Additional information relative to the regulators found in
this drainage area is shown in Table 2 and Figure 13.

SECTION VIII
JERSEY CITY EAST SIDE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
DRAINAGE BASIN, JERSEY CITY, N.J
The sewage system for the Jersey City, East Side drainage
basin consists of twenty-one mechanical float actuated
regulators. The float position for these regulators is
determined by the height of flow in the upstream intercep-
tor line. When overflow occurs, all regulators bypass to
the Hudson River
Regulator maintenance is performed by a five-man field
crew- Their work assignments include servicing both the
East Side and West Side treatment plant regulators (there
are thirteen regulators in the West Side system) Mainten-
ance equipment includes two trucks specially fitted for
such work, as well as other necessary tools and gear to
satisfactorily maintain the system.
Of the system's twenty-one regulators, eleven were found
to be operable, seven were non-operable, and three could
not be inspected since heavy equipment was not available
to remove the concrete slab over access manhole covers
A follow-up telephone conversation with the plant super-
intendent indicated that all regulators had been put in
operable condition since our field investigation.
Additional information regarding the regulators with this
drainage area is found in Table 3 and Figures 14 through 16

WEST NEW YORK SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
DRAINAGE BASIN, WEST NEW YORK, N. J.
The West New York combined sewage system is a gravity
flow type having no pump stations. There is only one
regulator in the system. This regulator is a diver-
sion chamber located on Hillside Road, east of Kennedy
Boulevard. Sewage from West New York, the northern part
of Union City, and Weehawken Heights flows into this regu-
lator -
At the time of inspection, the chamber's bar screens, which
precede the influent line to the treatment plant, were
clean, with no sewage bypassing over the stationary weir
Treatment plant personnel are used to maintain this regu-
lator, on a regularly scheduled basis.
Additional information regarding the regulator within
this drainage area is found in Table 4 and Figure 17

SECTION X
NEWTOWN CREEK SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
DRAINAGE BASIN,
BROOKLYN, MANHATTAN, QUEENS, N.Y
The Newtown Creek Treatment Plant services three drainage
areas: Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. The Brooklyn
drainage area contains eighteen regulators ten with
hydraulic float systems, two with mechanical float systems,
and six with manual operated sluice gates. The Manhattan
drainage area contains forty regulators all with hydraulic
float systems. The Queens drainage area contains one regula-
tor and utilizes a hydraulic float system for flow control.
Field inspections were made only on those regulators located
in Brooklyn and Queens. The results of these inspections
showed that two of the nineteen regulators were inoperable.
In a follow-up telephone conversation with the Acting Chief
of the Division of Plant Operations for New York City, one
regulator has been repaired and repairs on the other are in
progress.
The Manhattan regulator chambers were not inspected since
they were purposely flooded to protect equipment while con-
struction proceeds on the Manhattan pump station. This
pump station , which will be operational in the Spring of

SECTION XI
NORTH RIVER SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
DRAINAGE BASIN, NEW YORK, N.Y
The drainage area contributory to the future North River
Sewage Treatment Plant (presently under construction) con-
tains sixty-one regulator structures. Thirty-five consist
of sluice gates with hydraulic float systems, twenty are
simple diversion or tide gate chambers, four are manual
sluice gates with provisions for hydraulic systems. These
regulators are in various stages of construction and as
such no field inspections were conducted in this drainage
area.
The North River Sewage Treatment Plant (operational 1979)
will receive influents from four interceptors (expected
completion 1974) and will treat approximately 220 million
gallons per day of waste.
Additional information regarding the regulators within
this drainage area is found in Table 6 and Figures 27
through 32.

SECTION XII
OWLS HEAD SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
DRAINAGE BASIN, BROOKLYN, N. Y
The Owls Head drainage basin contains eight regulators;
six with hydraulic float systems and two with manually
operated sluice gates.
The system is maintained by the Oakwood Beach regulator
crew. This crew also maintains the Port Richmond Treatment
Plant regulator system. A specially prepared truck with
sufficient equipment is utilized to assist in the inspec-
tion and maintenance of the system.
Seven of the eight regulators inspected were found to be
inoperable. According to a follow-up telephone conversation
with the Acting Chief of the Division of Plant Operations
for New York City, one of the non-operable regulators has
been put back into service.
Additional information regarding the regulators within
this drainage area is found in Table 7 and Figures 33
through 37

SECTION XIII
PORT RICHMOND SEWAGE TREATMENT
DRAINAGE BASIN, STATEN ISLAND, N.Y
The Port Richmond drainage system contains forty-three
regulators. Nine of these regulators have been placed
into service - the others are either under construction
or proposed. The nine existing regulators consist of three
hydraulically operated types, one mechanical float type,
three manually operated types and two weir types
Three of the nine regulators inspected were found to be in-
operable. According to a follow-up telephone conversation
with the Acting Chief of the Division of Plant Operations
for New York City, two of these regulators have been placed
into an operable condition and one is being repaired.
The system is maintained by the Oakwood Beach regulator
crew. A specially equipped truck is utilized to assist
crews in the inspection and maintenance of the system.
Additional information regarding the regulators within this
drainage area is found in Table 8 and Figures 38 through 43

SECTION XIV
RED HOOK SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
DRAINAGE BASIN, BROOKLYN, N.Y
The drainage area for the proposed Red Hook Treatment
Plant will consist of a sewage system containing twenty-
four regulator structures. Nine will consist of sluice
gates with hydraulic float systems, nine will be manually
actuated shear or sluice gates, two will have sluice gates
with mechanical float systems, three will be simple tide
or diversion chambers and one will be a manually operated
shear gate with provisions for a future hydraulic system.
These regulators are all to be constructed and as such no
field inspections were conducted in this drainage area
Additional information regarding the regulators within
this drainage area is found in Table 9 and Figures 44
through 45.

SECTION XV
YONKERS JOINT MEETING SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
DRAINAGE BASIN, YONKERS, N.Y
The sewage system for Yonkers Joint Meeting drainage basin
consists of eighteen regulators. Fourteen regulators are
mechanical float actuated, three regulators are electri-
cally operated, and one regulator has a stationary weir
A special crew from the Yonkers Department of Public Works
is used to inspect and maintain the regulators on a routine
basis.
During the field inspection by the Commission, five of the
regulators were found to be non-operable. According to a
follow-up telephone conversation with the Chief of Regula-
tor Maintenance, Westchester County Department of Environ-
mental Facilities, repair work is continuing on those reg-
ulators which are inoperable.
Additional information regarding the regulators within this
drainage area is found in Table 10 and Figures 46 through

SECTION XVI
REGULATOR SAMPLINGS AND ANALYSES
It is generally realized that the combined sewer overflows
from regulators have an adverse impact upon receiving waters.
Nevertheless, there appeared to be a lack of quantitative
data within the Interstate Sanitation District to support
this contention. Therefore, following inspection of the
regulators, the Commission undertook a limited sampling and
analysis study of two regulators (Analyses of all samples
were performed by laboratory methods specified in "Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater", (2) )
One regulator was located in the Bayonne Sewage Treatment
Plant drainage and had a mean dry weather flow of approxi-
mately 5 MGD (Regulator No. 5) The other regulator (No. B-l)
served the Newtown Creek Sewage Treatment Plant drainage
basin and had a mean dry weather flow of approximately 50 MGD.
A land use map for Regulator No. 5 located at Ingham Avenue
south of East 5th Street in Bayonne is shown on Figure 48,
and the land use and demographic characteristics of the
drainage basin for this regulator are shown in Table 11. The
table shows that this drainage basin is approximately 50%
residential and 30% industrial. A location plan of the
regulator is shown in Figure 49. Figures 50-A and 50-B are
photographs showing flows associated with the regulator
A 24-hour dry weather sampling of regulator flow consisting
of grab samples taken at 3-hour intervals was conducted on
Wednesday, April 5, 1972. During this sampling period, no
bypass was observed and no precipitation occurred. The
regulator gate was fully open with flow variations noted on
the field records On Wednesday, April 12, 1972, a 12-hour
dry weather grab sampling was undertaken at this regulator
at 3-hour intervals. Again no bypassing was observed and no
precipitation occurred during sampling. The analyses of the
samples obtained are given in Tables 12 and 13 for April 5
and April 12, respectively
The data developed is of interest in several respects. The
time sequence of samples clearly shows a distinct variation
of many of the parameter readings in the daytime compared to
nighttime. For instance, the composite sample of the total
suspended solids for the daytime period on April 5, 1972,
(0900 to 2100) was 156 Mg/L while for the nighttime and
early morning hours (2100 to 0900) it was 55 Mg/L (see
Table 12) The daytime values on April 12, 1972, for
suspended solids given in Table 13 for daylight hours are
comparable to those presented in Table 12, although each of
the samplings shows a large variability as a function of time.

The values of the mercury concentrations also show a time
dependent variation and in both sampling periods, the highest
values occurred at the 12 noon sample which may indicate that
the discharge of the mercury into the sewer lines was probably
associated with industrial batch processes. This matter is
being investigated. Due to lack of extensive rainfall during
the scheduled sampling period, wet weather sampling was not
performed at this regulator
The other regulator sampled was the Newtown Creek Regulator
(No. B-l), a large regulator designed for dry weather flow of
approximately 50 MGD. A land use map for this regulator is
given in Figure 51, and Table 14 shows demographic charac-
teristics of the drainage basin. This drainage area is
approximately 90% residential. The land use map shows that
an industrial area immediately surrounds the regulator with
residential areas extending outward from the edge of the
industrial area. A location plan of the regulator is shown
in Figure 52, and Figure 53-A shows the hydraulically operated
sluice gate at the regulator while Figure 53-B shows the
outfall of the regulator The results of the 12-hour and 24-
hour samplings are given in Tables 15 and 16, respectively
During the 12-hour sampling conducted on March 1, 1972, the
flow was reasonably uniform throughout the day with a slight
increase noted at 6 P.M. Flows were estimated (by measuring
liquid height) to be approximately 35 MGD during the uniform
flow period and approximately 50 MGD at the 6 P.M. peak. No
precipitation or bypass flow occurred during sampling. Strong
gaseous odors were evident from the overflow line manhole
opening during the sampling period. During the 24-hour sampling
which occurred on March 8 and 9, 1972, the flow during the
day was fairly uniform and comparable to the previous sampling
performed on March 1, 1972, with increased flow again
occurring at 6 P.M. During the early morning hours of March
8, a light precipitation occurred with a slight overflow
being observed at 9 A.M. As with the Bayonne regulator,
large variations in pollutant concentrations occurred between
daytime, nighttime, and early morning hours. This holds true
not only for the parameters of usual interest such as total
suspended solids and BOD, but also for many of the heavy
metals such as chromimum, nickel, and copper
The Commission also conducted two wet weather sampling
surveys at the Newtown Creek Regulator (No. B-l)- Analytical
data was developed from the samples taken during two storm
periods, April 13 and June 16, 1972. The analytical data for
the April 13, 1972, storm is shown in Table 17 The storm
flow and pollution loading characteristics during this storm
are shown in Table 18, and Figures 54, 55, and 56 show total
suspended solids, BOD, and oil and grease concentrations as

a function of time, respectively. An explanation of the
column headings and the method of calculation for the
various columns in Table 18 are found in Appendix B.
Appendix D also lists the terms used in Tables 18 and 20
Analytical data for the storm that occurred on June 16, 1972,
is presented in Table 19. The storm flow and pollution
loading characteristics of the storm are given in Table 20
and the total suspended solids, BOD, and oil and grease
concentrations are given as a function of time in Figures
57, 58, and 59, respectively
Estimates of storm runoff for both storm periods were
calculated using the rational method. This method probably
is the most prevalant one currently used in the United States
to estimate the quantities of storm water runoff (23, 24)
The rational formula relates runoff to rainfall in the
following manner:
Q = CIA
where: Q = peak runoff
C = runoff coefficient
I = average rainfall intensity
A = drainage area
The runoff coefficient "C", is the least known quantity in
the rational equation. It is not easily determined since
it includes the effects of several variables such as
infiltration capacity, interception by vegetation, and
storage in depressions or rooftops. The coefficient repre-
sents a fixed ratio of runoff to rainfall in the equation
but in reality it varies as a function of time during a
storm, from storm to storm, and with the seasons.
Presently, there is no precise method for evaluating the
runoff coefficient, although studies have been reported in
this area (25) Common engineering practice is to utilize
average values of the coefficient for various surface condi-
tions. Values of the coefficient reported in the literature
(23, 26, 27, 28) for urban areas range from 0.70 - 0.95.
It should be noted that in highly urbanized regions with
high percentages of impervious surfaces, the choice of "C"
becomes more reasonable as "C" approaches unity and the
application of the rational method becomes more suitable.
During this study, the initial value of the runoff coeffi-
cient was chosen to be 0.55 (a conservative value) and was
incremented by 0.04 for each hour of rainfall to account
for further runoff following saturation of the surface.
The total flow during each increment was determined by

calculating the runoff flow using the rational equation and
adding to that value the mean dry weather flow. A plot of
these points versus time determined the shape of the total
flow curve during each of the two storms studied. The
placement of the total flow curve on the time axis was based
upon the time of the observed initial bypass flow. The
initial bypass was estimated to occur at 1.5 times the design
mean dry weather flow of 50 million gallons a day through the
regulator Actually, there was a slight difference between
the observed time of initial bypass and the theoretical time
of bypass based upon runoff calculations. This is probably
due to the fact that the rainfall data for the storms were
obtained at the National Weather Service station at Central
Park, a distance of approximately five miles from this
regulator
The total quantity of bypass for each storm was obtained by
numerically integrating the function represented by the
difference between total flow and initial bypass flow.
The two storms that were sampled were of distinctly different
characteristics. During the storm which occurred on April 13,
1972, 0.97 inches of rain fell over a 9-hour period with a
peak intensity between 11 A.M. and 12 noon EST of 0.26 inches
per hour As can be seen on Figure 54, the hydrograph of the
rainfall approximates a normal distribution and may be con-
sidered to be typical of a spring day-long rain storm. The
storm previous to this occurred on April 4, more than a week
prior, during which 0.31 inches of rain fell.
The storm which occurred on June 16, 1972, was of a completely
different nature. During this storm, a total of 1.31 inches
of rain fell and as can be seen from the hydrograph on Figure
57, the total rainfall occurred over a 4-hour period. During
the initial two hours, 1.22 inches fell with the peak intensity
of 0.65 inches per hour occurring between 2 and 3 P.M. EST
This type of storm is perhaps typical of a summer thunder-
storm due to its high intensity and short duration. In fact,
this storm has established a new record for rainfall on this
date. The rainfall previous to the June 16 date occurred on
June 10, during which 0.19 inches of rain fell. Trace
amounts of rain also fell on June 12, 13, 14, and 15, which
totaled approximately 0.01 to 0.02 inches.
An analysis of the total suspended solids, BOD, and oil and
grease values for both storms indicates that the nature of
the storm, i.e., its intensity and duration, has a large
effect upon the pollutants which are bypassed through the
regulator The April 13 storm, which had a relatively long
buildup time, allowed the concentration of both parameters
(TSS and BOD) to be maximized prior to the peak flow and
267
-------
thus some of the "first flush" phenomena was diverted to the
treatment plant prior to bypassing. In contrast, the June 16
storm had a high initial rainfall rate, such that the
maximum values of pollutant concentrations and flow rates
practically coincided. For all practical purposes, all of
the "first flush" was discharged into the receiving waters
with little or none being diverted to the treatment plant.
In both cases, however, the concentration as well as poundage
of pollutants bypassed are very large. For instance, on the
April 13 storm, 58,000 pounds of total suspended solids,
19,000 pounds of BOD, and 28,000 pounds of oil and grease
were bypassed while on the more intense June 16 storm, over
1 million pounds of suspended solids, 36,000 pounds of BOD,
and 180,000 pounds of oil and grease were bypassed. To gain
some insight into the magnitude of these values, consider
that during the June 16 storm, in 3 hours and 15 minutes of
bypassing, approximately 30 times as much suspended solids
were bypassed as are discharged from the treatment plant in
a full 24-hour normal dry weather flow period. BOD and oil
and grease discharges were also very high, especially in
light of the fact that the flow through this regulator is
only 25% of the total Newtown Creek Treatment Plant flow.
As can be seen from the tables of analytical data, during
the wet weather flows, some of the heavy metals appear to
have higher concentrations than during dry weather- In
particular, wet weather lead and mercury concentrations
appear to be significantly higher than corresponding dry
weather values. As seen in Tables 15 and 16, dry weather
lead concentrations (8 values) are all less than 0.20 Mg/L.
Wet weather analyses (see Tables 17 and 19) for lead show
concentrations ranging from less than 0.20 to 1.40 Mg/L
(16 values). The analyses for mercury during dry and wet
weather periods have shown a similar trend. The dry weather
analyses for mercury (Table 19) show concentrations below
0.0001 Mg/L (5 values) Wet weather concentrations of
mercury (Tables 17 and 19) range from 0.0004 to 0.0074 Mg/L
(16 values). It is interesting to note that during the
June 16 storm, the total quantities of lead and mercury
discharged were approximately 135 and 0.4 pounds, respectively
The increased concentration of these metals during wet
weather periods could be attributed to automobile exhaust
residues, vehicle drippings, and atmospheric scrubbing of
lead and mercury aerosol compounds. However, even those
metals which show a lower concentration during storms (due
to a dilution effect of the stormwater) still discharge
a considerable load into the receiving waters.
Treatment plants in general do not remove the large amounts
of heavy metals and thus the effect on the receiving waters
268
-------
should not differ appreciably whether these heavy metals
enter directly via bypass flow or indirectly through the
treatment plant effluent. It should be noted that even if
means were developed to remove these heavy metals at treat-
ment plants (which does not appear to be the general case),
this would only allow their removal during dry weather flow.
The heavy metals would continue to bypass the treatment plant
controls during wet weather flow periods. Thus, it becomes
apparent that these heavy metals must be removed at their
source before entering the sewer system. Essentially,
pretreatment, whether to remove heavy metals or other pollu-
tants, would reduce the load to treatment plants, minimize
concentrations in bypass flow, and tend to improve the quality
of receiving waters.
If the pollutant values associated with this regulator can be
considered representative of the type of bypassing that occurs
throughout the District, then some means must be found to
minimize the effects of combined sewers, for even though the
treatment plants in the District are being expanded and
upgraded, this upgrading may not achieve the desired results
since the wet weather bypassing may totally overwhelm the
receiving waters. In fact, it may be that in determining the
efficiency of a treatment system, the results should be
evaluated on a systenrwide basis; i.e., not only the efficiency
of the treatment plant but the net discharge should be con-
sidered, including the bypass from combined sewers. There-
fore, additional attention needs to be directed toward a
total system evaluation of effects, i.e., combined sewers
and treatment plants and a minimization of these effects
rather than on treatment plants alone.

GLOSSARY AND ABBREVIATIONS
BYPASS (noun) - An arrangement of pipe, conduit, gates,
pumps, and valves whereby the flow may be passed around a
hydraulic structure or treatment facility
(verb) - The act of causing flow to pass around a hydraulic
structure or treatment facility
COMBINED SEWER - A sewer which carries sanitary sewage with
its component commercial and industrial wastes at all times
and which, during storm or thaw periods, serves as the
collector and transporter of storm water from streets or
other points of origin, thus serving a "combined" purpose.
Combined sewers make provision for the overflow of excessive
amounts of flow, over and above the volumes to be carried by
the interceptor sewers and handled by treatment or pumping
facilities, from the combined sewer system at predetermined
points where some form of regulator devices are located.
COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOW - Wastewater flow in a combined
sewer system resulting from the runoff of precipitation or
from the flowing or draining of previous precipitation.
DIVERSION CHAMBER - An enclosure within the regulator which
acts to conduct flow from an influent sewage line to the
regulator chamber under dry weather conditions. During wet
weather (bypass conditions), the flow is directed to the
tide gate chamber
DRY WEATHER FLOW - The combination of sanitary sewage and
industrial and commercial wastes normally found in the
sanitary sewers during the dry weather season of the year,
sometimes referred to as base flow
DYNAMIC REGULATOR - A semi-automatic or automatic regulator
device which may or may not have movable parts that are
sensitive to hydraulic conditions at their points of
installation and are capable of adjusting themselves to
variations in such conditions or of being adjusted by remote
control to meet hydraulic conditions at points of installa-
tion or at other points in the total combined sewer system.
FORCE MAIN - A pressure pipe joining the pump outlet at a
wastewater pumping station with a point of gravity flow.
INTERCEPTOR SEWER - A sewer that receives dry weather flow
from a number of transverse sewers or outlets,and frequently
additional predetermined quantities of storm water admixed
281
-------
with sanitary flows, and conducts such wastewaters to a point
for treatment or for disposal between the collector sewer and
the interceptor sewer
LOADING - The dry weight, in pounds, of some material that is
being added to a process or disposed of to a receiving
waterway
Mg/L - Milligrams per liter or the concentration of some
chemical in a liquid. If a letter appears after "Mg" it
represents the chemical symbol, e.g., "N" for nitrogen, "P"
for phosphorous.
MOD - Million gallons per day a common term for quantity
of wastewater flow-
OUTFALL SEWER - The outlet, structure, or sewer through which
sewage is finally discharged.
OVERFLOWS - The overflowing of trunk or interceptor sewers
resulting from the combination of extraneous flows and normal
flows that exceed their capacities.
RATIONAL METHOD - A means of computing storm drainage flow
rates by use of the formula Q=CIA where Q is the peak runoff,
C is a coefficient describing the physical drainage area,
I is the rainfall intensity, and A is the drainage area.
REGULATOR - A structure which controls the amount of sewage
entering an interceptor by storing in a trunk line or
diverting some portion of the flow to an outfall.
REGULATOR CHAMBER - An enclosure which acts to control the
quantity of flow of sewage admitted to an intercepting sewer
or a unit of a sewage treatment plant.
STATIC REGULATOR - A regulator device which has no moving
parts or has movable parts which are insensitive to hydraulic
conditions at the point of installation and which are not
capable of adjusting themselves to meet varying flow or level
conditions in the regulator-overflow structure.
TIDE GATE CHAMBER - An enclosure within the regulator which
acts to conduct the sewage flow (usually bypass) through a
tide gate to the outfall.
TRUNK - A large sewer which receives wastewater from tributary
branch sewers serving generally one drainage area.

Environmental Protection Agency report
number, EPA-R2-73-152, January 1973.
A detailed examination was conducted of ten (10) combined
sewer overflow systems within that portion of the Hudson
River Basin lying within the Interstate Sanitation District.
The work included the identification and study of these com-
bined sewer systems in order to determine their location,
physical characteristics, and service areas.
The procedure employed included the physical examination of
each system's regulators to determine their location, type,
dimensions, and condition. A study of available records was
made to determine, where possible, trunk line flow, inter-
ceptor line design capacity, and characterization of the
drainage area served by each regulator which included pop-
ulation and land use. Ten (10) summary tables and forty
(40) regulator location figures are included in the report.
Dry weather and wet weather sampling was also conducted.
By-pass loadings for several pollution perameters have been
calculated during storm flow conditions based upon this
sampling. Recommendations for minimizing combined sewer
overflows are included.
